Tyler and I wanted to go on a vacation over Spring Break. We racked our brains trying to think of somewhere that was somewhat close were we could take the kids. We thought of driving to Vernal to Dinosaur Land, but decided the drive might be too long with a car-sick prone child. We seriously couldn't come up with any ideas, so we went with our default plan: The Land. I'm so glad we chose to go here because it was seriously one of the funnest Spring Breaks we have ever had!
We started out our vacation on Thursday. This trip was not in Caden's favor... poor kid. As we were loading the trailer, Caden was playing in it and leaned up against the door, which isn't very sturdy. He fell out of the trailer and landed face first on the concrete. Poor thing ended up with a swollen, bruised eye and a bad scraped up face.
He still looks happy, though! He's one tough kid.
We did a lot of fun things like have cookies and milk before bed time
Watched movies on the couch...
Had a bath. This is the thing I love most about The Land. We can do all the fun "camping" things, like have a campfire, go four-wheeling, and be outside, but we can take a bath at the end of the day and not smell like a camper! :)
We went on a lot of walks.
And tried to feed the horses. We cut up apples and carrots for the horses, but they didn't want anything to do with them... picky horses!! Kayla decided to name the horses while we were there. This was her favorite horse: Apple Jack (from My Little Pony). She named the other horse Luna and Brownie.
We lost Makayla for a while and found her inside sleeping. Vacations are pretty tiring for a three-year-old!
One of the funnest parts was coloring Easter eggs at the Land. The kids had a blast.
Kay-Bugs did great at coloring her eggs, then later we added funny face stickers to them.
Caden was a great helper for a few minutes, but I think he ended up cracking more eggs than he actually colored.
He lost interest in coloring after a few minutes and ended up playing outside.
Can you guess who made this egg? Yep, thanks Tyler.
Bed time was interesting. Remember how I said Caden had a rough week? Well here's why. The first night we put him in the pack and play, but he is getting too big and ended up crying until we moved him. So the second night we put him on the bed and put pillows all around him. We woke up to a blood curdling scream and Tyler ran into his room. I heard Tyler calling for me to turn on the light. When I got into the room, Tyler said he couldn't find Caden. It took us a second before we realized he was under the bed. At some point in the night he had fallen off the bed. When Caden woke up he was trying to crawl around and got stuck under the bed. Needless to say, it was pretty traumatic for him and Tyler had to sleep with him for the rest of the night. This picture was taken before he fell out of bed, hence why he looks peaceful! :)
Kay-Bugs got to sleep in Grandma and Grandpa's bed. This worked out great until she peed the bed on our last night there. As Tyler said, she was just marking her territory.
I think we may have to make this a yearly tradition because we had so much fun.
Happy Spring Break!!
