Salt Lake Trip

Zak decided we needed to take a little family vacation. So we decided just going to Salt Lake would be great. The girls were excited days before we left- they were so excited to stay in a hotel- they love staying in hotels. On our first day we decided to see- This is the Place park, the girls were so excited to ride around in the train, the train would take you to each sight to see and check out. The favorite thing the girls got to do here is to pan for gold. Hallee was so into panning for gold- she could of done it for hours! They each found five "fools" gold nuggets. They also loved the minature train ride around the lake, and you could see the Salt Lake Valley from this view. After that we thought we would go to a nice restraunt- Macaroni Grill, but Sicaly was exhausted at this point, Zak and I had to take turns taking her outside while one ate, not exactly what we wanted to do at a nice restraunt!
On our second day we went to Cowabunga Bay, this was definatly our favorite thing from this trip, it was so nice because Hallee and Blyss could go down all the slides by themselves, we could take Sicaly down most of the slides, so it was something we all enjoyed. The girls just ran and ran, wanting to try every slide, Blyss did poop out after awhile and just had to sunbathe on a chair. Hallee loved the lazy river, Sicaly loved the little fountains in the pool and jumping off the side of the pool. After we were done, we got in the car and before we even pulled out of the parking lot Sicaly was asleep, so Zak was kind enough to sit with Sicaly in the car while she slept and the girls and I went into the hotel to get all cleaned up- he didn't mind thought- he had his phone in his pocket at the swimming pool and it got all wet of course, so he was trying to get it running again. That afternoon we went shopping for Zak, then we went and ate at Chiptole- we all really liked this place, even though Sicaly still ran around the whole place.
On day three, we went to Hogle Zoo, of course the girls loved it! They really liked the dinosaurs that have been put up throughout the zoo. By the time we were done with everything at the zoo, everyone was ready to go home. It was 1pm and the girls didn't even care about lunch, they were ready to go home. We had an awesome trip and it was just right for our family!
