Staycation Part 2

We had some places in mind that we wanted to go but all in all we were not on any kind of schedule.  We just played the whole weekend by ear and it was nice and relaxing to do it that way.  The places we really wanted to visit were the City Creek Mall, the Discovery Gateway, the Living Aquarium, the Beehive House, Music and the Spoken Word, Temple Square, and the movie in the Joseph Smith Memorial building.

Unfortunately, the Living Aquarium had moved to Sandy so we didn't get to visit that one.  We did ride the bus to the Discovery Gateway and walked around the Gateway Mall a bit too.  The kids loved riding the bus and we pretty much spent all day at the Gateway.  It was so much fun that we didn't want to leave.

Two of Alex's favorite things...water and balls.

What a cutie pie.

Megan still loved shopping and bringing home the food best of all.

Megan was trying to run over Rebecca.  They really do love each other, I promise.

The next day we spent our time in City Creek Mall and Downtown Salt Lake.  Rebecca said that she plans to live in one of the condos above the mall.  I know I would come visit her often if she did.  We loved the mall and went to the Beehive House but we took too long so we didn't get to see the movie at the Joseph Smith Memorial building.  We did go to the top and look out though.

I asked Megan what she was thinking so hard about and she said that she wanted
to jump in the water but it was yucky and I told her she couldn't.  Crazy girl.

We got to see a spontaneous wedding proposal.

Megan was so glad she finally got to touch some water.

Lizzie and CJ still hanging out.

Sweet Rebecca.

What a crew.

There was an area for the kids to play in the fountains.  These two finally got enough water to make them happy.

Families are Forever!

The perfect view on a perfect day.

We did have a bonus activity though at the Gallivan Center.  That night they had free games with prizes for the little kids to play during the concert.  Xander and Megan had a BLAST.  Dakota had fun with the games and Rebecca and CJ tried their hands at the games too.

Sweet Alexander.

My hero!

I love her smile.

Winning prizes.

Alex looks so tiny.

It's a good thing he had his puppy pal to help him hold all his loot.
