Spring has Sprung

Finally. The weather is purrrfect. For about the past month, the weather in Utah Valley has been amazing. The J-Man and I spend as much time outside as possible. Our favorites are walking to the park, the library, or just hanging out in our backyard/parking garage/driveway putting seeds or rocks down the drain.

When we aren't putting seeds down the drain we occasionally get out of the apartment and do something a little more exciting. I know, what could be more thrilling than that!? (We literally do it daily). Well there is tons of stuff to do in Utah year round, but especially in the spring and summer and we are trying to take advantage of as much of it as possible.

A few weeks ago we headed up to Thanksgiving Point to check out the farm with Jack's bestie. I had heard about the farm from a few different people so I was really looking forward to it. However, it ended up being better then I even expected. It was cheap, had tons of animals, and since you have to drive through American Fork you might as well stop at the Chickfila!

Jack and Jackson had tons of fun, we will def be going back.


A few weeks later when Gar was working Jack and I went down to Fairview to visit our favoritest people. Basically they step in as our parents and Jack's grandparents since we are so far away from our own. We had a blast walking all over Fairview, shopping in the cutest toy store, checking out the museum, preparing the garden, and Jack got to play with his favorite - the wagon.

This past Monday we walked over to Pioneer Village for a little family night activity. It can best be described as a mini Nauvoo. There are old pioneer homes, a general store, school house, blacksmith shop, outhouse, and a working garden. We loved it! We spent a majority of the time trying to master the pioneer games, but none of us were brave enough to try the stilts.

There is still lots more to do this summer, including the Provo Farmer's Market which finally opens this weekend!
