We started off the relaxing week with a spot of herbal tea. Elsie prefers it in English china from her great grandma.
Then it was off to Coke and Conference. Thanks to my mom for coining such a catchy and truthful alliterated phrase. We listened and we talked and we celebrated birthdays in Park City.
Ian was gifted this balloon from a cousin and didn’t take it off his wrist for 12 hours straight.
We spent some time at a trampoline park. Elsie’s getting so good at running and getting to just about everywhere she wants.
Then we were off to St. George for some warmer weather. On our way down to southern Utah, we visited our friend’s family’s farm. It was lambing season. We got to see lots of baby lambs, some less than 24 hours old!
It was neat to see a working farm. My friend mentioned that sometimes the ewes have too many lambs and some of them don’t get enough milk. These lambs are called dogies and have to be hand fed. She said that sometimes friends and family take them home, raise them, and return them to the farm. I was tempted to do so. Look how cute they are!
There were baby puppies too. Elsie was in heaven.
Ansel liked them too. As for me, I was tempted to take home a puppy as well. Upon better judgement, I didn’t, but those little things are just the cutest.
We continued down the interstate to finally meet up with cousins. We swam in the pool, made dinner together, did some karaoke, played tennis (I’m learning!), mountain biked, played games including the “guess that See’s chocolate flavor,” and climbed on the rocks.
We swam a lot and at one point, made a tubechain around the lazy river.
The red rock always delivers on the fun. We went through “the crack” and I must admit, my heart was beating just a little bit faster when I was about to start through it…with my two year old. Needless to say, we made it through the tight squeeze.
The cousins were so good with Elsie. They’d play and help her at any time. Every time she’d go down for a nap, she’d ask if everyone was going to be there when she woke up. She was having such a grand time.
The teens were definitely going to sleep late. Here’s my daytime nap evidence to prove it. Ha!
It was fabulous time had by all! Another spring break in the books.
