Our "Stay-cation"

So here is a shot of Katie's room before and part way after.  It is still a work in progress but enough to show it off.  I really want to paint the walls but I am not ready to make the commitment.  Maybe this winter we can do some painting.
 We were super lucky to have my Grandfather come and visit us for a week from Cleveland.  It had been 3 years since I had last seen him.  Here he is with my 3 kiddos. I think he had fun with all the grandkids and great grandkids.


 So Gary took 3 days off of work and we were thinking of going somewhere, but we ended up just using all our season passes to different places and finishing some things around the house.  This is Red Butte Gardens.  I LOVE the tree in the background.  The color of the flowers were absolutely amazing.  Isaac and Sarah enjoyed playing in the fountain.
 Another day we decided to drive up Provo Canyon and stop at Bridal Veil Falls.  I love waterfalls and it was such a pretty day.  The water was a little on the chilly side though!



 So we stopped at Trafalga in Lehi and played for a little bit.  Sarah wanted to try out the rock climbing wall.  She made it a couple rocks up and decided that was not for her!  But she LOVED the frog jump ride.  Since there were no lines she rode it about 10 times in a row - till I forced her to do something else.
It was my turn to take the kids on the splash boats.  It was fun to spray other people.  Isaac was a fan of the ride, but Sarah - not so much.
 And of course we had to go to the zoo one day too!  Dad even got to ride the train one last time before they closed it for renovation.  It is always so much fun having dad at home.
