For spring break we had decided we would go camping with the Rowberry’s. However due to procrastination in planning, we opted to do a “staycation” together instead. We each took a day and made plans to do some things here locally. The first day we went to the Bean Museum, went bowling at BYU and had ice-cream at the creamery.
Day two we went Salt Lake to the family history center, watched “I am a Mormon”, and had lunch at the Lion House. We also got a tour of the church office buildings and we rode the elevators all way to the top so we could see out over the city.
Then we split up and Seth, Isaac, Meg, Jake, and KK went skiing and the rest of us went to the State Capitol. After touring the State Capitol we went over to the Children’s Museum and the Planetarium. I managed to lose Ellie. She usually stays close by my side but she was having so much fun that she ventured away and I had to call security to help me find her. I may have freaked out a little. 😦
Afterward we came back to the Rowberry’s home for homemade Cafe Rio tacos. It was a great, very busy day!
The next day we hiked up Spanish Fork Canyon to the Fifth Water Hots Springs. It was a beautiful hike, although it got stinky as we got closer (gotta love the smell of sulfur). We all got in our swimsuits and played in the pots and had lunch. Part of the water was scorching! We had to be careful where we stepped but there were several different pools so we had plenty of room to play. After the hike we met Grandpa Walt at Chuck-A-Rama to celebrate his birthday.
We also went out to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and rode four wheelers during the break. We managed to jam everything possible into a few short days. We had a great time without having to travel too far. What a fun break!
