Memorial Day Weekend

We had a really fun Memorial Day Weekend. Friday Jeff took off so we could extend the weekend even longer :)! We decided to take Landon to the zoo. It was really fun! The Huntsman Cancer Institute was there putting sunscreen in really bright colors on the kids. Landon's looked like blue war paint. Our computer broke this weekend, so I can't load the pictures, so you'll just have to picture it :)! He loved the big animals. I kind of don't think he could tell what we were looking at with the smaller ones. The gorilla was eating when we were there and he was right behind the glass. Landon had to walk along the glass to try to catch his attention ... he loved it! He also really liked the elephants and giraffes. They have a dinosaur exhibit right now which is pretty fun for the kids too.

Then we headed over to temple square to see the statue of Christ and walk around. Landon thought that was really cool. He even folded his arms when we told him it was time to be reverent! Then he realized the the room echoed ... and that became much cooler than sitting with his arms folded ... boys :)!

That night we got to watch Merrill, on of our nephews, play in a baseball game. They were up from Kanab. A few of his siblings thought it was getting really cold out, so they came home with us. I walked downstairs after putting Landon to bed to find them all piled up with Jeff eating popcorn, drinking hot chocolate and watching Despicable Me. It was pretty cute.

Saturday we went shopping (had to hit the sales!) and then did a Dutch Oven picnic with my family. It was so much fun, and Landon got some great grandpa time in. My dad travels a lot, so their time together is very special to them both. Landon was in heaven!!

Monday night Jeff and I went out on a date ... my mom and James were nice enough to watch Landon for us!! We tried the Blue Lemon restaurant in Highland. It was SO good!! We have been wanting to try it for a while - a friend of ours manages it - but we hadn't made it until this weekend. Delicious! They put a really unique spin on their dishes. And they have amazing dessert!! We definitely recommend it. Then we finished the date off with a stop at Barnes and Noble. I could probably live in a book store and be happy. Seriously.
