Trip to Logan

 The first part of Memorial Day weekend, we headed up to Logan for a little Lyman family bonding. We left Friday morning, and because the drive is pretty long, we decided to split it up and stop at the Gateway Children's Museum in SLC. The kids absolutely loved it, and didn't want to leave. This was pretty much the only time I took pictures the entire trip. I just haven't been very good at picture taking since Sabrie was born, because taking care of 3 kids sometimes takes all my energy and I forget to pull out the camera. Oh well, I'm doing my best.

Lexie and Hoyt both loved the ball station, and wanted to play there forever. Here is Lexie with one of the workers, trying to make music by dropping the balls in at the same time.

 Hoyt loved all the little cars and kind of hogged them from the other kids.

 Another favorite for Lexie was the grocery store!

 Hoyt liked riding the horse.

Sabrie had fun watching the kids play, and wanted to join them.

We finally convinced the kids to leave and drove the rest of the way to Logan. When we got there, we checked into our hotel, then got dinner at Burger King. Ok, so I think everywhere should get the cool soda dispenser there that lets you choose on a screen what kind of soda you want, along with flavorings; that is random, but I hadn't seen one of those before and thought it was cool. After dinner we went to James and Jenny's house to let the kids play. Lexie was so excited to play with Bethany and they had a great time together. When it started getting late we headed back to the hotel.

 

Saturday morning, we got up and had breakfast, then the kids wanted to go swimming. Lexie had a great time, but Hoyt was too scared to get in the water so after a few minutes I took him back to the hotel room with Sabrie to chill until Bryan and Lexie were finished. This was the only other time I got out the camera that weekend.

After swimming, we all got ready and headed to help set up the church for the main event of why we went to Logan in the first place: the baby blessing of our cute little nephew Daniel Thomas Lyman, son of Steve and Lucy and little brother to Patrick. Here is a picture of the little guy when he was born, since I didn't get any more pictures. It was good to see family and visit with everyone at the luncheon after the blessing.

We tried to let the kids take naps, but they were too hyper to sleep; so we went to visit Annie and Rob and Bryan's parents, then all went to dinner at Angie's Restaurant. I thought I should try eating there at least once, and it was actually pretty good. I'm not surprised, with a name like that...haha. Anyway, after dinner we headed back to James and Jenny's for the kids to have some more fun play time. We stayed until it was getting pretty late, and we all wanted to get some sleep (I really didn't sleep at all the night before so I was super tired). Luckily, we were all exhausted and slept a lot better that night.

 

Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast, and got ready for church. We went to church with James, Jenny and family, then all had a nice lunch at their house. The kids were having lots of fun playing and didn't want to leave, but we knew we had a long drive ahead of us; so we said goodbye to our Lyman family and hit the road. The best part of the drive home was when all 3 kids were asleep for a couple hours so Bryan and I could have some alone time to talk. It was a busy weekend, but it was good to be with family and make some memories together.
