Spring Break Fun

Yesterday was another relaxing spring break day. I ended up taking the boys to the green park again, Rylan's request. But that's as exciting as we got!
Tyce has been waking up at 6:30 and wanting to stay awake. I'll take him downstairs and let him play while I lay on the floor next to him and try to close my eyes. I sometimes wish I was a morning person. But I'm not!
After Kevin left for work and we got breakfast out of the way I did a quick Body Rock workout. I then started to get ready right away because we were meeting up with Tami and Deborah and their kids at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake at the U. We were meeting at 1:00 so I knew we needed to leave by noon. I was glad Tyce would get a good morning nap in. And it worked perfectly! Tyce woke up just as I was getting Ry and Asher in the car. We were in the car with lunch on our lap at 12:06. Just a few minutes late...
In Provo we got stopped in traffic. Ugh! I talked to Tami and she was behind me so she got off the freeway. Smart. I turned on the radio and they said there was an accident, the freeway was closed. We were at a complete stop, stuck, for nearly 30 minutes. I guess it could have been worse! Our hour drive ended up taking 2 hours!! Asher slept for most of it which was nice. Tyce was hungry so while we were stopped I turned around and started feeding him. A lot of people were out of their cars and since we were stopped I figured it was safe to unbuckle my seat belt! Of course I had only given him a few bites when we started moving again. So I asked Rylan to finish feeding him. He happily agreed and did a great job! He dropped the spoon once and got the food on his pants and Tyce had a very messy face but at least he got to eat...and he was happy! Rylan sure can be a good helper :)

Deborah had been waiting at the museum for over an hour. She and her kids were troopers and walked around until we all got there. Tami of course made it before me, too. I was so glad we all had time and no where else we had to be!!
The museum was great!! There were lots of hands on things for the kids and there was something there to entertain all ages. Asher's favorite was the dinosaurs, which were towards the beginning. So by the end he was a little antsy and ready to go. He saw a picture of some birds eating a dead dinosaur and he had a lot to say about that! Rylan was just happy to be with Kaleb and Kade! He said the whole thing was his favorite and then said he really liked the water and kids room at the very beginning.










We left the museum at 5:30 in lots of traffic. It was rainy and I don't like driving in Salt Lake so it wasn't the most fun drive! I made a detour to the Fashion Place mall to make a quick stop at H&M. Tyce needed to eat as well and of course it was time for dinner for the rest of us!
H&M was busy. I saw a few shirts I really liked and the boys were patient while I tried on some clothes. They didn't have my size in a couple shirts--bummer! We got in line to buy the one shirt I found but it was long and we didn't move after standing there for 5 minutes. The boys were hungry, Tyce was tired, and I wasn't in the mood to wait in line. So we left the shirt on a nearby rack and left. Next time I go I'll make sure I have more time (although my boys were really, really good!)
We grabbed a sandwich and some cookies from Subway and made our way home in the dark and rain. It was time for jammies and bed as soon as we got home so I let Kev put Ry and Asher to bed while I got Tyce in bed. We all had a fun day!
