Spring Break Staycation

So, we didn't go to Disneyland with the rest of Utah for Spring Break - we stayed here, in the FREEZING, SNOWING, COLD weather - but we had fun!  Cindy and Scott came to visit and Spence took a few days off and we had a blast!  We decided to do one fun thing per day to make it relaxing, but not too boring.  The morning they flew in, they took the kiddos on a walk and then we went Ice Skating at the rec. center after lunch.  Grady is finally at the point where he can skate by himself with the help of weekly ice skating lessons, and we could all go.  Not sure it was Scott's favorite activity :), but we all had fun.  Grady and Adri both had their first soccer practice that night, so we hung out at the soccer fields and playground for awhile too.   The next day, we went to the Living Planet Aquarium, which is really neat.  We had never been, but had heard it was fun.  It really is a great set up and fun for the whole family.  It's not too big, but it has a lot of great exhibits.  That night, just the adults went for sushi - ahhh yum!!  The next day, we went bowling and Spence kicked our trash!  Cindy and Scott babysat for us that night so we could stay out extra late - woo hoo!!  They fed the kiddos dinner and had some friends come to hang out as well, then they actually had a sleepover with them in the playroom - aunts and future uncles are WAY cooler than mom and dad:)
On the last day, after a bird watching morning with Cindy and Scott (of course), Spence and Scott took the kids to the pet store while Cind and I had some "girl" time!!  We went shopping, got a Steamer at Starbucks and just LOVED being together.  I absolutely LOVE being with Cind!  She is SO much fun and we just have a great time together.
That night, my parents were able to come down along with my Grandma P. and we celebrated Grady's Birthday early.  He wanted Root Beer Floats (such a good easy-going boy) and we watched Tangled after that!  We had such a great time - snow, rain, and eveything!  Thanks for comin' Scott and Cind!!  Picture gallery below.....
