Family Vacation 2012

Vacation plans changed a few times this year. We initially planned a trip to LegoLand! We were all sooo excited! However, then we found out we were pregnant and I would be 5 1/2 months when we planned it...which isnt too far but far enough that the idea of driving to California to walk all over Legoland sounded pretty miserable and not worth the money. Plus, who wants to pay admission to a park if your not allowed to ride the rides? SO, we adjusted and decided a lagoon vacation would suffice. However, that one changed to...of course. Keith couldnt get time off work before school started and the more time the boys spent thinking about it the longer the list of stuff they wanted to do in SLC got longer and longer!! Now, here it is Labor Day weekend (Noah and Easton will both end up missing a day of school...bummer) and we are in SLC having a blast with the following activities that the boys chose as we narrowed down the list:)

Day 1: Man Vs Mud
Keith and I did Man Vs Mud last year and it was a riot! We had tickets this year but ended up having to sell the tickets when the Dr advised against me participating while pregnant (seriously have had to readjust sooo many plans!! ) So we sold our tickets and bought some for the boys to do the little kid version and kicked off our vacation in Logan. Kids tickets for the Boggy Bayou included unlimited train and pony rides:)

We ended this day by going back to the hotel and ordering an in room movie (Brave) and room service for dinner:)
