A Friday with the Olsen’s

Since I don’t work on Friday’s we occasionally decide to go out and have some fun as a family. Yesterday was one of those days.

When Jake got home from school we jumped in the van and headed to Sandy. This weekend is the Festival of Trees. It is a fundraiser for Primary Children’s Hospital. People donate the trees and then they auction off the trees. The trees they have there are amazing. My favorite trees were the BYU tree and the Utah Jazz tree. Emily liked any trees that looked like something was exploding out of the top of it. You may not be able to see it in the picture.

After the kids got sick of walking around looking at trees we decided we would go have dinner at In-and-Out in Draper. Well, the line was too long. We decided to flip around and go to Wendy’s instead but instead of trying to turn left on State Street I decided to just rap around the back streets. Well, I got myself turned around and we ended up at Del Taco. I prefer Taco Bell.

Once we finally finished dinner we headed to Thanksgiving Point to have some fun at the dinosaur museum. We got there at 7:30 and it closed at 8:00. We hurried through to the boys favorite parts. You can see Matt next to the dinosaur leg. He has a long way to grow.

We finally rolled in at home around 8:50 last night and the kids were tired. They head straight to bed and Matt was nice enough to sleep in until 7:00 this morning. I enjoy having my Friday’s off. I also had a chance to go volunteer in Jake’s class yesterday. I always enjoy doing that.
