On Wednesday, the girls and I packed and then headed into town to get the tires on the van rotated and for the girls to hang with Grandma Peterson for a bit while I went and joined the other ladies in the Primary Presidency for lunch. We returned home around 2:30pm, finished packing and headed out to find Dave at the hotel.
The hotel we stayed at had an awesome pool area. The girls were stoked. There was a large area with a slippery slide in the middle of the pool. This section was only 1 1/2 feet deep, which was perfect for Nicole. Hannah and Ashley played in another section that went from 3'6" to 3'9". Once again, the perfect depth. There were two more sections to the pool. One was the same at 3'6" to 3'9" and the last section went from 4' to 5'. There was an enclosed slide that came into the pool but it was only open Friday through Sunday. The cool thing about this slide was that it goes outside and then comes and dumps you into the indoor pool area. Cool!
Wednesday night consisted of getting to the hotel and hooking up with Dave and heading out for dinner. We ate at Red Robin.....yum! Dave, Hannah and I all left with stomach aches from eating so much. But hey.....can you really pass on their fry sauce? It's to die for! We then picked up a Redbox movie and headed back to the hotel room for a movie night.
Thursday while Dave was in training I took the girls to Layton. We first stopped at Old Navy to purchase flip flops for everyone and then we headed to Chuck E Cheese for the rest of the afternoon. It was the most awesome trip to Chuck E Cheese I've ever had. We had the whole place to ourselves. We even arrived right after they had checked all of the games and so the girls were able to get all of the tickets that had spewed out. Hannah and Ashley went to one of the workers and tried to turn the tickets in but she told them they could keep them. I love how honest they are in not wanting to take something that doesn't belong to them. We spent way longer at Chuck E Cheese than I thought we would but it was okay. The girls had a great time.
Thursday night we took the girls out to a fancy dinner at Olive Garden. The girls have been asking for quite some time to eat at this restaurant so it was a great time to let them try. What I remember most about this eating out adventure is Ashley trying to get out of the booth by crawling under the table and popping up in the aisle and her head hitting a tray with a full pitcher of lemonade on it. Luckily, I saw it coming and was able to grab the tray before all of the lemonade spilled. Phew!
Friday while Dave was finishing up his training, the girls and I packed up the hotel room and then headed to the Living Aquarium to hang out and wait for Dave to join us. While we were waiting the girls decided that they needed to pee. This is after Nicole has already peed in the parking lot because "she couldn't hold it any longer!" We walked across the street to a convenience store to use the potty. As we were walking in, we noticed a little store called the Chocolate Cottage. I can't remember how it happened but inside the store I asked about the Chocolate Cottage and those around us highly suggested we go in for a visit. Inside was a TON of amazing homemade chocolates. YUM! Each one of us got something to try and even picked out a white chocolate golf ball for Dave. After selecting our chocolates, we headed back across the street to enjoy eating them on the lawn and to finish waiting for Dave to join.
Once Dave got there, we headed inside to see all of the cool animals.
We left the Living Planet Aquarium and went to Paradise Bakery for lunch. This was an awesome eatery that Dave found while attending some of his training in Salt Lake. I would highly recommend it. It was delish. In fact, they are opening one up this month in the Cache Valley Mall and we can't wait to go.
After lunch, we headed home with some tired girls. What a fun Spring Break Vacation!
