Fun Day!

No pictures today because I forgot the camera at home. Oh well. The girls and I went up to the Discovery Gateway. I haven't been then with them since last Spring before we left for Michigan. They went a few weeks ago with cousin Lauren. We had a great time. We played house, rode the horse, filled up the car with gas and even attended a fun art class where they made collages. Then we went to lunch. Gretta was so excited to show me this "magical" place that has lots of food choices to pick from, so that everyone can have what they want an all eat together. I think Lauren took them to the food court last time they were there and now Gretta is hooked! Of course she wanted Panda Express. No surprise there and Eliza wanted french fries. Once again no surprise.
On the way home we stopped to WinCo to get some chocolate coins and fortune cookies for our upcoming Chinese New Year Party! I don't think the girls had ever seen the big bins of candy before, and they were pretty excited. We also go some candy for our Valentine's Party.
WinCo was OUT of Fortune Cookies. They told me they are back ordered. I guess everyone else in Utah must be having  Chinese New Year Party too. Oh well. I can get them when I order the take-out for the party.
Then Gretta had art class which she loved. While she was at art. Eliza and I took Eric the camera. He waited in line yesterday to get a wrist band to get into tonight's BYU Basketball game vs San Diego State. Then even with the wristband he had to show up at 4pm and get in line to wait for the 8pm game! Go Cougars!!!

Since we were home along tonight we had a low key dinner followed by some dancing in the family room to Disney music, and then stories and bed. It was so much fun to spend so much time with them today. I let Gretta skip preschool. Right now we are so busy I feel that I don't get to spend enough time with them, so it was fun to just have a whole girls day together. They are at such fun ages. It is also fun to see then play so well together.


***Update!!! Eric made it into the game and is on the 4th row! At half time the Cougars are behind by 1. Go Cougars!!!!
