With a job interview in Salt Lake for Nelson, we decided to make it a spontaneous road trip home. It was fun to surprise my mom on Mother's Day with our arrival. On our way down we enjoyed a Sunday picnic lunch at a local Beaver park. The wind was brisk, but the girls enjoyed being out of the car for a bit. Nana, Grandpa, and Sissa were surprised to see us at their front door. We enjoyed the night on a walk and visiting.
Monday brought fun at my parents' neighborhood park. We love to explore new parks and the fun to be shared together there. The girls always love the slides and swings. It is always hard to go home.
Tuesday we ventured to Hogle Zoo to see some animal surprises, including lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants, and bears. Nelson had not been to the zoo for many years, so it was neat for him to see so many changes that have been made. Of course we loved watching the girls discover the animals for the first time up close. We left the zoo to enjoy the evening at Nelson's parents home, playing in the backyard!
Wednesday was a fun adventure at Rush - an arcade and bounce house - with Grandma, Aunt Brooke, Addie, and Eli. Emily was timid to try the big slide, but eventually went down on her own with the help of fearless Addison by her side. Playtime and lunch at Brooke's added to the fun, especially as Emily explored Addison's house tent. So much fun!!!
We were again spoiled with fun and visits from Brooke, Addison, and Eli that evening. Emily played hard with Addison and loved every minute of it. We are excited to see them again soon in two weeks for the Yates' Family Reunion in St. George.
