A Little Staycation


Jeff took this last week off - he finished up at Myriad and started at ARUP just yesterday ... but in between that? Pure staycation fun!


We did all sorts of fun things, including a LOT of relaxing and lounging (ahhh ... it was great!). 


A few highlights:
* Jeff got to go to art class with Landon for the first time ever. They both loved it! And the cactus and sand art Landon created with Dad's help were both superb :)!
* We played at a friend's pool and the splash pad.
*We headed up to SLC on Trax to see City Creek and let Landon play in their water fountains. He LOVED the train! Every time we stopped he said "more passengers!!" And we have to look at the pictures on him on the train all the time now.
Is it any wonder that eventually he fell in? This kiddo and water...
* Landon loved walking around the temple and getting to pick different videos to watch at the visitors center. 
* Jeff got in a couple rounds of golf ... his favorite!
* Jeff and I got to go to a spa party with some super awesome friends!
* Jeff and I went away overnight just the two of us! Ahh ... bliss! We needed to do some shopping since Jeff went from wearing jeans to work to nice dress clothes (be still my heart ... I love it!). So we snuck away to shop, have a quiet dinner and relax. Landon was thrilled beyond measure to spend the night at gramma, papa and James' house. 


Overall we crammed a lot into that week and had so much fun just hanging as a family! I'm so glad Jeff's starting this new adventure ... but we sure do miss him now that he's back at work!

What super fun ideas of stuff to do together as a family! I bet he LOVED the trax ride, I should have our family do that sometime.

Good luck on your new job Jeff! How's he liking it so far?
