Waterpark!
We went to our local water park, today. Todd was even able to go with us since it was a day off for him. Love federal holidays!

Preschool Graduation
Lauren's graduation from preschool was today and her school did such a phenomenal job putting it on. They had little caps and gowns, performed three songs and were given their diplomas. I will admit to getting teary. I just can not believe that my baby is on her way to Kindergarten in the fall.
Again, I have to ask where does the time go?

Zoo Day!
Since the weather was supposed to be absolutely beautiful, we went to The Hogle Zoo this past Sunday. Having always gone to The Milwaukee Zoo since I was my kids' ages, I was worried that it was not going to match up. It was surprisingly comparable, though. There were no polar bears and their other bear exhibit is under construction, but aside from that it was very similar. We did the train ride and carousel and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
All of us waiting in line for Nature's Nightmares:

Temple Square and SLC Capitol Building
We took Heather and Vivi to downtown Salt Lake City, today. The weather was gorgeous and the flowers were blooming, so it was an absolutely beautiful day.
The first stop was Temple Square which is to the Mormons what the Vatican is to Catholics. The grounds and buildings are absolutely beautiful and meticulously maintained. We counted at least 8 brides/grooms getting photos taken on the grounds in front of the main temple and fountains. Absolutely picturesque.
From the middle of the Square to one end:
Todd, I and the kids in front of one of the fountains with the Temple in the background:
One more shot of the landscaping::
Next stop...Utah State Capitol (By the way, my kids stink at taking pictures. Either they are not all looking at the camera or someone has their eyes closed, so, I am totally disregarding how they look and putting in ones where I look halfway decent because if I waited for a good shot of all of us there would be no pictures. Grrr):
Todd and the kids in the original State Room (I totally broke the rules and stepped over a velvet rope to get this shot. Go me!):
Me, Heather and the kids on the stairs in front of the House of Reps' Chambers (Notice neither Viv or LC are looking at the camera?):
Heather and I with Brigham Young::
After we were done downtown, we then took them on a driving tour of Hill AFB, some elk burgers at The Burger Bar and then headed home. Such a fun, full day. Can't wait to do it again when Uncle JJ gets here.:)
