Spring Break 2009

This year for Spring Break we went up to Salt Lake and stayed at Dixie State's condo at the American Towers (Jon had to do some work there). We stopped for lunch at Brick Oven on the way up for Grandma DeWitt's birthday.

That night we walked to the Gateway and watched Coralyne.

The next day we went to the zoo. Dewy still asks me everyday "where the alligator's go?" (The display was closed because the female was nesting.)

Even though he didn't get to see the alligators, Dewy really liked the zoo.

Here we are looking at the Zebras.

The kids looking at the Elephants.

After our visit to the zoo, we stopped at the This is the Place Monument. Dewy apparently is not yet ready to understand the gratitude and respect we owe the pioneers. In case you can't tell, yes he is picking the praying boy's nose.

The funniest part of the vacation came that afternoon at the pool. I was sitting out with Tilly because she had just almost drown (no that is not the funny part). A man, an older overweight man, walked into the pool from the workout room. He walked right over between me and Tilly and took off his shirt and then his pants to reveal the speedo he was wearing and then he jumped right into the pool. You have never seen anyone exit a pool faster than Cricket did. Apparently she was ready to go back up to the condo. When I explained that men in other countries where those to go swimming, she expressed her great happiness that she is a citizen of the United States.
