CVL: April Roundup

Kevin had to work late one night, so the kids and I headed to the new aquarium. It was huge! We'll have to go again sometime soon when they aren't as tired and see some more, but it was really cool.

We are gearing up to garden this summer! We are doing a community garden again this year, but a double plot instead of a single one. My freezer is almost empty from our produce last year, I'm excited to start again and know a bit more this time around!

Cute Evelyn, getting her picture taken for some of her birthday thankyou texts and cards.

I got some ring pops from Sam's for the egg hunt and they were a big hit. Evelyn especially loves them! You can always tell when she has had one recently.

Violet's page about the rain from her school journal-- I guess she gets it from me! Look at that frowny face! And Cora's cute drawing of her and I.

Violet's Basilisk lizard she painted at school. Luke and Evelyn playing on the xylophone type installation in front of the library. Evelyn is finally big enough to make the tones ring!

Grandma and Grandpa DeGiulio came down for a doctor's appointment, and we were lucky to see them! We visited at Kissie and Pata's, ate at City Creek, and played at the dino play place.

Unfortunately, Cora had left for tumbling class before we took this picture. But it's a good one!

This turned out to be more of an 'action' shot-- the kids weren't cooperating much by this point in the evening!

Luke loved that Grandma would play 'guess which hand' over and over with him.

The kids all gathered around to watch Frozen while the adults visited. Pretty cute!

Kevin caught this darling moment. It's so nice to see the kids loving on each other!

There is a great playground by our Herriman 'beach' reservoir. The kids played there for a bit, but I couldn't keep them from the sand. We will be going back this summer, I'm sure! Evelyn could have thrown sand in the water for hours.

We spent a day of spring break downtown with Kissie. It was a pretty perfect day! We took lunch to the Brigham Young memorial park and walked up to the Pratt graveyard too, then ended on Temple Square.
