Road trip to Utah Part 1

We decided to take the risk of driving 2 days with 2 little kids and a pregnant lady and drive to Utah. The kids did GREAT on the way out there. We drove 14 hours the first day (I drove the first 9 so Jeff could kind of sleep), and then drove 8 hours the next day. The kids watched lots of movies. Alyssa watched for all the cows and windmills. She got SO excited for the cows. She loves animals. Dallin LOVED watching movies with his headphones. And of course we hit snow in Wyoming :) It was also the first time Alyssa saw mountains, which she was amazed by and said it thousands of times in the cutest way.

We got to my mom's house around 4 in the afternoon. We unpacked the car and left for dinner...Del Taco (I don't know why but I love it there). Then we headed to the BYU for a football game. The game didn't start until 8:15 , which is WAY past the kids bedtime but they really wanted to go. It was also FREEZING! We got there early enough for the kids to run around in the fields and roll down the hills. Dallin has talked about going to a football game for the past 4 months. He asked to go home with 10 minutes left in the 1st QUARTER! So it was a long night for Dallin, but he still had lots of fun dancing and entertaining the crowd. Alyssa was fantastic. She sat on my lap and watched the whole time. She LOVED the band. Both kids fell asleep at the beginning of the 4th quarter. I am always surprised what kids can sleep through. They were very good, and we had a blast! Jeff and I really miss going to the games.
On Sunday night we went to Greg and Ashley's house for dinner. Dallin LOVES Uncle Greg so he was very excited. They liked playing with their dog and cutting fruit on the x-box kinect. On Monday Jeff went golfing, and then we went to Cafe Rio....yummy!!!

On Tuesday night we played miniature golf with grandma, Aunt Tori and Uncle Greg. Alyssa used her club on the first hole, and then threw her ball into the hole every other time.
Dallin had lots of fun. Our balls kept getting stuck, so there was lots of laughing throughout the night.
Then we went inside to the arcade. Dallin did some bowling, which he loved.
Dallin played daddy in air hockey.
Alyssa "drove" the cars.
They had this awesome laser game where you tried to get through the hallway without touching the green beams. Jeff, Greg, Tori and Dallin all did it. Jeff got the highest score, but Dallin was the best at it. We didn't think he would really understand, but he was soooo cute going through it and didn't hit any beams. Here is a video of Jeff (the video of Dallin didn't turn out so I was a little bummed).

Then we finished the night with some dippin' dots :)
On Wednesday night we went to Nickel City with everyone again. Alyssa LOVED the carousel. She probably rode it 20 times. Thank goodness it was just 3 nickels. Dallin liked playing all the games. Uncle Greg hit the jackpot 2 times in a row. With everyone's tickets we got up to 3700 tickets.
