Brad had to go to CES in Las Vegas for work last week. So Aleah, Cade, and I decided to go to St. George. We all drove down to St. George on Saturday. The kids did a great job during the car ride. As Brad was packing up the car it was snowing and when we got to St. George it was blue skies!
We went to church with Brad's parents. The Sunday School teacher was awesome and the Relief Society teacher was wonderful. We felt very uplifted and learned a lot. It was really nice! It was Aleah's second time in primary so we were a little worried, but of course she did great. She got to help lead the Hello song. It was cute to watch her as Brad and I were peeking through the little window! When we took Cade to the nursery room he was sure that this was not his class. He had to walk down the hall to were his class would have been if we were at our church. Once he saw that there wasn't anyone in there he was a bit confused, but then he went right in to the nursery room and did great. When we picked up Aleah and Cade both of their teachers said that they were wonderful, so cute, know all the songs, and welcome back anytime!
Brad left for Las Vegas Sunday afternoon. Aleah, Cade and I had a wonderful time with Brad's parents! We went down to ride the carousel and when we got there we found that it was closed. The kids were not happy about that! I told them that we will have to come back when it is a little bit warmer. They also want to come back when it is warmer so that they can play in the water. The minute Cade saw all the fountains and water he ran right in. Luckily they turned off right as he ran in and Brad's mom was able to get him out just before they turned back on!
We fed the ducks and the geese. One of the geese got Aleah's finger as it was trying to get the piece of bread and she said, "Hay goose, that's not food it's my finger!" That became the funny thing to say. She makes me laugh!
We went to the park by Grandma and Grandpa's house. It is always a hit! Cade figured out that if he would lean in a certain way he could spin around on this spinner thing. He would get going so fast that I would have to stop him before he fell off. Then he would stand up and say, "Dizzy!" then sit down and do it again. That boy loves to get dizzy.
We always have to swing a few times when we go to the park.
They did the slides over and over and over again. They just can't get enough of the slides.
They are both into climbing on everything and anything. They liked to pretend like they were spiders climbing on the spider webs.
We brought their bikes. They loved going fast down the hills on the way back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Notice that Cade doesn't have his coat on, that was one of the first things he would do upon arriving at a park.
We had to feed the ducks again another day because the kids loved it so much. The were pros the second time. They didn't need to stay on the bench. They were fine walking around Then they found this rock that was really fun to stand on and jump off of. The geese were as tall as Cade. There were a few times when Cade was walking around that a goose would come up next to him and be right in his face and he would get a little worried. He would just walk away, he is such a brave little guy.
We went to the park by Aunt Dawn's house. This was my favorite park! There was a swinging teeter totter thing that was so so much fun. There were not any baby swings at this park and so Cade went on the big boy swing. He did a great job and loved it. Aleah kept saying, "Cade is just growing up!"
We went to a park that was down by the library and then we went to story time at the library. The kids loved story time. Aleah and Cade started saying that they wanted a Grandpa underdog or a Grandma underdog or a Mom underdog. Grandpa underdogs were their favorite I think.
And back to the park by Grandma and Grandpa's house for more swinging and sliding and climbing.
They are best friends. What a blessing it is that they have each other!
I am so thankful for Brad's parents. They made my week without Brad so much easier! I loved staying with them. Brad was able to drive back late Thursday night so Friday Brad's parents watched Aleah and Cade for us so that we could go out on a date. It was wonderful!
