Surprise Utah Trip & Swing

This last week my mom and I decided the night before we left to go and visit my sister for her birthday in Utah. The following morning we left for our adventure. It was a long drive I think that we decided it took us about 14 hours on the way there because we stopped quite a bit to keep everyone happy and comfortable. Despite the long trip, the boys did amazing. I can really only think of one little melt down Dawson had and that was actually when we were stopped and in WalMart. Jett was sleeping or very happy unless he was hungry or poopy. It was actually very pleasant, well except for the aching butt that we received from sitting in the car all day. We arrived at Aletha's house around midnight and ran around to the back to jump on her trampoline and gave her a call and asked her to come outside to join us... she had no clue that we were coming. The following day we went to a place called Kangaroo Zoo it was a huge warehouse type building with over sized bouncy castles and slides. It was so fun and we spend almost the entire day there running around and having fun.

At one point Aletha and I decided to race through a few obstacles and ending at the bottom of a slide. I decided I was going to win no matter what I had to do and I threw my body over the top of the slide and went head first into the slide where my face was squished right into the slide causing my neck twist and to pop very loudly. At first I thought I might have broken my neck but I tried moving and I was able to so I figured it was okay and got up to confirm that I had won. I DID! Yay me! I am still sore from this little incident but it was totally worth it!

We also went to Ikea... it is my new favorite store. My sister had this really cool indoor swing in her house for her kids that she had purchased at Ikea. I decided that I also needed one. I put it up yesterday as you can see from the video. So cool Dawson loves it... he was watching tv when I recorded him so he was a little distracted.

Anyway we were only able to stay for a couple of days but it was totally worth the trip to see one of my very favorite people in the world my sister!! LOVE YOU LETH!
