We were able to take a little vacation down to Salt Lake. We were selling Eli's truck to Uncle Bruce and had to drive it down. We decided to make a fun trip and do some shopping, stay in a hotel, and visit Temple Square! I had such a blast taking pictures on Temple Square. the flowers were beautiful and everything thing was so green. You can't even tell that is was a little chilly!
We got to Salt Lake early afternoon and decided to hit up some of our favorite stores. We went to Ross, Rue 21, and then the Gateway Mall! And of course, hit up 2 or 3 D.I.'s (our FAVE!)
We stayed the night in a hotel that looked great online....not so great in person! We walked in and the lamps were all tipped over, there was pencil scribbled all over the walls, we had some scary people hanging out in front of our room (it was outside), and it smelled...different. :)
Honestly though, it didn't matter too much to us. Daily because we didn't have to spend a ton of time there, and because Remington was SO excited. She thought it was the coolest thing ever and had so much fun. We took her pack and play and she slept great all night!
We got up early the next morning, hit up breakfast, and were off to Temple Square.
We had a great time walking around the exhibits that they have and got some more pictures!
Remi toted her blanket around and would randomly lay down and just relax.
(She would die without this scraggly thing! I don't know we will ever get it away from her!)
And here comes my favorite picture ever.
We walked up and were so eager to see Remi's reaction.
She was in awe! She kept pulling at Eli's leg "Jejus! Jejus!"
She walked up very slowly and stopped and stared for a good while.
That little moment brought such peace and warmth to my heart.
Remi loves her savior, I could see it in her eyes. It strengthens my testimony on how close our little ones
really are to him and our Heavenly Father. It also reminded me how grateful I am and should be that he trusted me to be her mommy and Eli her daddy.
Here are a couple more pictures of Remi carrying her blanket around EVERYWHERE! :)
Before we dropped off Eli's truck, we passed a little pond and decided to check it out.
We had some crunched up crackers that we fed to this herd of ducks!
They were more than friendly and willing to eat them all gone for us!
We put Remi down and the ducks surrounded her looking for more food.
It was hilarious to see her panic (mean, I know) and reach for daddy to save her!
We stopped at the City Creek Mall and had a good time eating dinner and doing a little bit more shopping.
Eli spoiled me and Remi, to say the least, and boy was it so much fun!
Remi loved checking out the fish in the creek and all of the cool fountains!
Here is my hunk of a husband! What a handsome daddy he is!! Me and Remi are so lucky and had a BLAST on our little vacation!
