In between semester break

We decided to take a trip to Salt Lake and stay the night at our favorite hotel. Cordell booked a room, then we got the kids from school. When we got home we told them to pack for one night and to include their swimming suits. They guessed right away that we were going to Salt Lake and staying at Little America. They were so excited! We got down there and checked in and decided to go to dinner. Chuck-O-Rama is one of our favorite places to eat (the kids love it), so we decided to go there. We forgot that the U had their graduation that day. Chuck-O-Rama was packed! It was going to be a long wait, so we bagged that and went to Sizzler. It was ok. After we got done eating we went back to the room and the kids were begging to go swimming. So we got in our suits and went and enjoyed the pool. Cordell stayed in the room to try to relax, and get a little studying before classes start again on Monday. The kids and I swam for almost 2 hours. We played tag for awhile and swam around. There were some floaty balls that somebody left, so we decided to play monkey in the middle, then we hit the ball back and forth. It was a lot of fun! The kids had a blast! We were exhausted by the time we got back up to our room. Hopefully it gave Cordell the reboot he needed before he starts his 2 classes that are 4 weeks each (ugh, good luck). Kiley said it was the best day ever! I love hearing that! We have awesome kids!
