Who would have guessed that the small town of Lehi Utah would have been the destination of choice for the Gordon Family Spring Break 2009.
We took the kids out of school on Friday afternoon and headed straight to Sandy to the Mayan. We had so much fun. I don't quite understand why a resteraunt that is 1/4 full will make you wait 1 hour and then make you eat on the 3rd level of the resteraunt, but oh well. It was fun. I also was in an argument with a 10 year old (Logan) for the entire first show debating over if it was Indiana Jones or a treasure hunter--I lost--they totally need to add theme music!!!!! I am still bitter! We made it to the hotel to find a cold pool and a sign that said it was broken until Tuesday! The day after we were to get home! Aagh!
The next day was the day for museums. We went to the dinosaur museum. The kids LOVED it! Nate and Logan ran off. Jaron and Jake ran off (got lost for a little while) the dads got all techno are were photographing and using there phones, and Anne and I were following Emily and Caleb. We got an expensive brainwashing of global warming in 3D imax, followed by a picnic in the park on the grounds. MaryAnn, Rich, Kaitlin, and Tyler met up with us for Farm country. We got to see the animals and ride a wagon pulled by 2 horses. Emily was able to go on a pony ride. I was totally afraid of the turkeys! Sean milked a jersey cow---btw that was not part of the admission, that was 100% on the dare of his lovely wife! I think the boys mostly loved running outdoors with thier friends and playing in the little houses. Then back to the museum to make fossils and finish playing with the exhibits.
Sunday was a pretty restful day. We had breakfast in the hotel and headed to Provo to see MaryAnn and Rich. They got a new home last year and we had not yet seen it. It was beautiful, and the kids loved playing together. Afterwards, we met up with the Ramseys at the hotel for lunch, we watched some shows, then took a ride to the MTC, Provo temple, Provo canyon, and Mt. Timpanogas temples. Then to Olive Garden for dinner.
Monday was our final day of vacation. We went to the Lehi aquatic center. It was a very nice facility. We played there for about 3-4 hours. They had slides, lazy river, play areas, and a big dump bucket that poured tons of water down on you. It was a blast. When we got home, we met up with Eric, Kandi, and the kids and went to Race to Witch Mountain! I Loved that show--I totally have to buy it!!! It was a very fun spring break!
