Wacky Wilkins': April Begins, Conference Weekend and Spring Break!

The first of April I got to help with the Spring Fling in Kindergarten. It was quite the fun and crazy morning!! Here they are dancing with butterflies.

Later that afternoon we went to the 2nd grade program. Lilly is just to the left of the screen in pink. Her line was "We also learned about various animals and their habitats". Good to know some learning went on in 2nd grade.

These 2 were crazy during the whole program so I gave them my phone and apparently they took some selfies.

After the program we went and got free snowcones to celebrate the start of spring break!!

Later that day we headed to Wales for conference weekend. The kids spent a lot of time outside which was wonderful and dirty. Mabel was pretty proud of this bird skull that she found.

The kids also made tire swings that they were pretty proud of.

They spent a lot of time in them too which was another nice thing!

Conference was wonderful as always and some of us did some pondering of the messages with our eyes closed...

Mabel made any creations while we were there. She cracks me up and I love to see her creativity in action.

This little guy got to go on a few wagon rides that he was pretty happy about!

He also did plenty of playing which resulted in this.

After our fun weekend we started spring break!! On Monday we drove to Flowell to see some of our friends that live down there. The kids had a blast playing and did surprisingly well in the car. On Tuesday I went to the dentist (so fun!) and then we met friends for a movie (Zootopia) and played with them after. That really was so fun! On Wednesday we went to the Tracy Aviary. It had been awhile since we'd be there and it was great. I forgot how fun that place is.

Lewis' favorite part was all the "rubber duckies"! He cracks me up.

Mabel insisted that we get a picture on the bird benches.

And then we had to see how we measured up to some birds.

We also played in the tee-pee they had for a little bit.

And took advantage of any photo opportunities like this one.

There were a lot of birds in this exhibit. I thought it was cool anyway!

This spectacled owl was my favorite!! But I am a little partial to owls.

After the aviary the kids asked to go to the planetarium. Since it's free and we were in Salt Lake already I obliged. They thought it was fun to explore Mars

and the moon! Mabel found this rock chair that was perfect for her.

After that we went to city creek for a snack and to play some more. Sophia thought the little kids were being so cute that she just had to take some pictures. Lewis seriously could have played here for hours.

We finished the day with ice cream which is always a good ending to any day!

I found these 2 random pictures on my phone and cracked up. These 2 kill me.

On Thursday we packed up the car and headed to Logan to visit our good friends the May's who live there. We went to a park by their house (called Elk Ridge park!) for a few hours and had fun and got so sunburned!

We also ate plenty of yummy food while we were there!

The part my kids were really looking forward to was swimming in the hotel! We were glad that our friends could join us too!

More snapchat fun... Now he looks like dad!

How do we have this many kids between the 2 of us!! We used to be neighbors in Payson and our kids became the best of friends. It was fun to see the pick up where they left off!

On Friday we went on a tour of the Aggie creamery. It was fun to see how the ice cream is made and to enjoy some at the end of the tour!

They are definitely not shy on their portion sizes!!

We then went back to their house and played for awhile longer before it was time to leave. We stopped at the Bluebird for dinner (it was so yummy!) and some of us had our second ice cream cone for the day...

It was such a fun couple of days and the perfect ending to spring break. Logan in a fun place!! I think these pictures are a sign that our spring break was a success.

Yesterday I was running errands and came home to this. They were so proud of how many potato bugs they caught!! Don't worry. They were all set free later.
