Day 4 of the Easter Marathon

Day 4

Since Kevin's brother was in town he took Monday off to spend time with him. Monday was also Jeff's birthday so we wanted to do some fun things. We got up early and made french toast. By 10:00 they were already off to Boondocks to play some mini golf before they met Zack and I as well as most of my family at The Living Planet Aquarium. My dad used to work there and some how got a bunch of tickets for us. We hadn't been there in a while and they have added some new stuff.



Zack, Alex, Lily and camera strap sitting in a canoe somewhere in South America



Anabella, Zack and I somehow made our way into the fish tank!




Me and My little Baby Bella (only she isn't a baby anymore)




Emily and Bella



Zack and Mommy, trying to get him to crawl to Emily,
he was pretty hesitant.


Lovely picture of my little family, taken by Emily.



Next we went downtown to PF Changs for lunch! Zack and Jeff had never been there and I think they both liked it. I of course stuffed myself! It's a good thing we don't have a PF's around here.

It was such a beautiful day, I wanted to just walk the streets of downtown and enjoy the sun. We went to the Clark Planetarium instead. I was beat by this time and so was Zack. He was going on 7 hours since "wake up" with no nap. It was his own fault though, I stayed home from mini golf so Zack could take his nap but he played in his bed the whole 2 hours. Despite our exhaustion we decided to be good sports and tough it out. Zack actually did pretty good until the end.

Zack exploring the Moon



I think he liked Mars better because he tried to crawl around



By 3:30 Zack was having a melt down. I made him a bottle and he finally crashed in his stroller. By this time we were done and it was time to head back. We left Kevin's car in Sandy because He and Jeff were also (As if they hadn't done enough that day) going to the Jazz game. The ride back to Sandy was brutal, I was exhausted! I slept most of the way. I was worried about driving home but my mom invited me to come hang out with them, so I drove to WJ hoping that Zack would stay asleep until we got there. I wanted so desperately to dive into my bed and sleep another hour. NOPE! As soon as we saw Bernie he was awake. YEAH, I love being a mom! We had a nice little evening with mostly my mom. We played with Bernie, ate Talapia for dinner and took a walk. Then we went home and went to bed :)

What a weekend!

It took Zack and I a whole week to recouperate. Maybe we need to get out more?

Those pictures look like a lot of fun at the Aquarium and Planetarium. Did Zack like it or could he have cared less? I really want to take Pais to the Aquarium, but I don't know if she is too young and maybe she would just be bored??? But then again I think she might be so fascinated.. i don't know!
