Celebrating my birthday and Mother's Day

Since my birthday and mother’s day are only a week apart all I asked for was to spend time with Blaine and Dayton.  So we went to Salt Lake for the weekend and took Dayton to the zoo and to Temple Square.  The first day we got there we took Dayton to Temple Square and let him see the temple and the Christus.  He loved it and was so excited to be there.  Then we took him to the Beehive house and he was excited to see the prophet's house.  Then we went back to the hotel and made roman noodles for dinner and took Dayton to the hot tub.  The next day we slept in, went to the store to get breakfast and then went to the zoo.  Dayton’s favorite part at the zoo was seeing the elephants and the train ride, of course.  He is still talking about the elephants at the zoo.  We finished at the zoo then went to Ikea and browsed around then went to Cabela’s and then went and ate at Olive Garden.  We got back to the hotel and crashed.  The next day we packed up and headed home.  We had a really fun and relaxing time…couldn’t ask for anything better.
