Photo Journal

Here is a photo journal of our recent trip to Salt Lake. We went the first weekend in June. I took the kids to see their dad. We tried to play and I think that the kids had a good time.

One of our first stops was at the "This is the Place" Heritage Park.


Of course we had to go the gift shop, and of course Taylor enjoyed looking things over as she shopped...a girl after my own heart.

And they each had to try the silly hats on...

Taylor, of course all cheese, although I'm not sure why she brought the baby doll with her.

Jared, also super cheese.

The patient kids posed next to everything their mother asked them to.

The plan was to then go to see Jeff and his mom and have lunch all together. We ended up going to McDonald's. The kids ate quickly and had a great time with the 'Playland' there.

Yes, that's Dylan waving 'HI' from the beak of the bird at 'Playland'

Taylor hiding under the stairs...

Jared laughing too hard as he came down the slide.

After McDonald's, we drove around for a little bit, and ended up at the

Veterans Memorial Park in West Jordan.

Jared...thinking he is spider man.

Dylan...also thinking he is spider man.

After the park, we drove around to see the 'sights' of West/South Jordan. Then we went to eat at Sizzler. That is one of the things that Taylor wanted as a part of her birthday, to eat at Sizzler together as a family...after which, we went back to our hotel.

The next day, we started by going for a train ride. It is called the 'Frontrunner' and it is a train operated by Utah Transit Authority. It is a straight shot from Salt Lake to Ogden, and back. Some of the cars are double-deckers...and that is of course where we rode, on the top.

I'm not sure Jared knows how to give a partial smile.

See what I mean!?!

I later found out that Taylor REALLY didn't enjoy the whole train experience. But she was a trooper to let her brothers enjoy it.

During our stop in Ogden, Dylan wanted his picture taken with the 'old train with a hook'. Jared just happened to walk in the way.

On the way back to Salt Lake from Ogden.

They all wanted their picture with daddy...

Dylan LOVED this experience.

Taylor...not so much.

After the train ride, we went to the Gateway Plaza food court for lunch. Dylan and Taylor each had their own $5 footlong, and thought that it was sooo cool!!!

Jared got Sbarro Pizza (& lookin a little tired)

We then meandered to the Clarke Planetarium.

Jeff and the kids on 'Mars.'

The time for us to come home was quickly approaching and so we went to a park just behind where Jeff lives, and let the kids play for an hour.

I hope everyone had a good, memorable time!!

Don't worry, Dylan's MRI is scheduled at Primary Children's in August.

"We'll be back!!"
