Trip - Part 2

Saturday was the day the kids were having their birthday party. Their cousin, Mikayla, also a birthday kid, was supposed to be there as well but sadly she and her baby brother were very sick and unable to come. It was still a nice day. We had lunch, open gifts, sang Happy Birthday, blew out candles and ate cake and ice cream.

After all was said and done, we stopped by Aunt Lannon and Uncle Arne's house to play and visit for a bit. Kelton decided he wanted Aunt Lannon to drive him back to the hotel and there was no convincing him otherwise. So, Lannon drove to our hotel and stayed for a visit. Kelton was thrilled to be able to show her around....or as he called it "Go on an adventure."

We decided to go to go to Canyon's for dinner. It was one of our favorite places to go when we lived there and we were not disappointed. They had a basket of toys the kids could choose something from to help keep them entertained at the table. What a genius idea!! I'm sure they had it back when we lived there but since Kelton was only 10 weeks old when we moved, I'm sure I never paid any attention. Truly, it's a great idea and helped make our dining experience wonderful.

Then it was back to the hotel for swimming, baths and bed. It had been a whirlwind weekend packed from sun up to sundown. We didn't see everyone we had wanted to see or go everywhere we had wanted to go but we had a fantastic time just the same.

It's be great to be able to stay there whenever we visit up there but honestly, there is just no way we can afford it. We had an excellent deal and it still hit us pretty good in the savings account. Thank goodness Uncle Sam had been generous this year. :)

Here are photos from the birthday party. Enjoy!

It was my sister's great idea to have the cake decorated into three sections (one for each child).

I think she had it done at Albertson's Grocery Store. She thought they made the colors too bright but I thought it was really fun. She put the ribbons on it (again - SMART IDEA!) to take the focus off the color. :)
