Marcus Came Home

Marcus had spring break the week before ours so I flew him home to be with us, much to his dismay. True there wasn’t a lot going on but there wasn’t anything for him to do in Utah either so home he came. I can’t tell you how happy I felt having all my kids home under one roof. It was sunny, the boys all played lacrosse together, and I soaked it all in. For the first few days there wasn’t even any arguing. Henry was thrilled to have Marcus sleeping in his room since Ethan quickly moved into Marcus’s old bedroom. 

We went to the Aquarium which we haven’t been to since Marcus was 8 years old. We had a great time now that we’ve pretty much forgotten about the amazing aquarium in Okinawa which makes all others pale in comparison. 

Covid win!  They limit the number of guests so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. 

Turns out my boys HATE sightseeing but Landon was willing to pose for a photo 

I said “smile for the camera!” And this is what I got. 

They hated me for dragging through the very empty market. I could’ve spent an hour here. Ethan was home doing remote learning so he missed out on lunch at Shake Shack, the only thing they were willing to do. 

Henry LOVED general conference cinnamon rolls. Not the conference. 

I had the genius idea to take the fam to an indoor trampoline park in between conference sessions. It got our wiggles out and was something the whole family could do together. Plus, it wasn’t crowded. Another Covid win!

Henry. He kills me!

Dinner at Din Tai Fung...our favorite restaurant and we were so happy to finally eat in a restaurant together. WA is finally opening up and we couldn’t be happier!

Marcus flew back home on Sunday afternoon before we hosted our annual Easter egg hunt in the backyard  and then we all flew to Utah the following day for spring break. We woke up to snow so that’s how spring break is going so far...
