Spring Break 2012...

 This year we jumped on the bandwagon and purchased "The Pass of All Passes" for some summer fun!  We decided to get the most out of it and use it to enjoy our Spring Break Staycation!...
along with the rest of the state of Utah ;)
Spring Break Day 1: We headed to the Seven Peaks Sandy Location for some bowling
 Jess
 Tyson
He absolutely loved it...though keeping him from trying to pick up every ball there was a challenge!
 Taylor
He inherited his mother's genes and is quite the little bowler...
He bowled a 97 and 104.
 Tyson quickly learned that he could pick up the orange 6lb. balls.
Then the hunt was on to find every orange ball in our vicinity.
 Spring Break Day 2: Becky and Gary came down from Logan for a Birthday extravaganza
 for the 2 year olds, and we all met at the Zoo to enjoy the animals and sunshine!
 Tyson, Remi, Mindy, and Paxton checking out the elephants
 "it's tradition"
 Paxton and Tyson saying "giraffe" ;)

 Tyson sure loves his Jess
 Really? Can you blame me for giving in to those big brown eyes...
 Taylor enjoying the giraffes
 From the Zoo we headed to Heber to get in some lovin' on baby Keladry.
 Isn't she a doll!
 After our visit to Heber we headed to my parents for a delicious dinner, easter egg hunt, and birthday extravaganza!
Jess hunting eggs
 Tanner found a tricky one behind the couch
 Taylor found his 20 eggs! Thanks Aunt Becky!
 Keaton helping Tyson
Keaton, Tyson, Paxton
Then it was time to celebrate the 2 year olds!
We had a big 1 year old birthday bash for all three of them last year, and decided to continue the tradition since Keaton and Paxton are one day apart (March 16th & 17th), and Tyson is only 6 weeks behind them (May 6th), April seems to be perfect timing for something inbetween and to celebrate Easter with Becky and Gary down!
 Remi and Mindy gave them the cutest pajamas.
Trying to capture all three of them looking proved to be a challenge. 
This is one of 15 pictures! ;)
 Spring Break Day 3: Lehi Trafalga
They had one ride open outside, but the kids loved it and rode it three times in a row. 
Luckily we got there right as it opened. The line stretched out the door and down the parking lot.  We left two hours later and the line still stretched out the door and down the parking lot, and they were letting people in as fast as they could stamp their hand. We did a lot of waiting in line, but the kids had a good time... 
 Minature Golfing
 Besides Arcade Games this was one ride you could ride inside with your pass.
Darling little Jayma on the far left must have ridden this 6 times ;)
 The kids also enjoyed the rock climbing...Jess, Lauren, and Avary
 That evening was the 2nd of 4 Real Salt Lake Games you can get into for free with our "Pass of all Passes"  My mom let us borrow some of her darling lion hats.  As we went to sit down, the 'Lion' was in our section and so we took advantage and got a picture with him.  Tyson did not think this was a great idea ;)  Jess loved it.  The Lion was so cute with her about her hat, she wore it the entire time!
Tanner & Samantha

 Thankfully, our good friends and several family members also got "the Pass" so we had a great time sitting with our friends the Seamans.
It is so entertaining to see how much my boys love these Yellow Cards.
Last game, Tyson seriously ate his for a snack!
 Maryn & Taylor
(It almost looks like she's picking his nose!)
Jessica and Avary
Jess was a riot and really wanted to be on the "big screen" wearing her hat, so anytime they were showing pictures of the crowd, she was jumping around trying to get them to put her on the screen.  I'm so grateful she's got some spunk!  Love that girl!

Spring Break Days 4&5: Included making up for partying all week. Tyson had naps both days that were 3+ hours! We had friends over to play and played at friends. Cleaned, did laundry and visited.
It has been a wonderful week!

I am so grateful we purchased our "Passes" They have paid for themselves two fold, and we have all year to enjoy them.  Up next, a Blaze Game, Seven Peaks Waterpark, Tracy Aviary.....the list goes on!
I shouldn't be hearing "I'm Bored" this summer!
