Before the boys had their spring break, Ed told them to plan what they wanted to do for their big adventure - he was going to take time off work to play with them (which was fabulous since I haven't been able to do much of anything with them lately and won't be able to for quite a while). The boys came up with a HUGE list of things they wanted to do. I thought Ed was going to have them pick one or two of the things to do but instead he told them to come up with a schedule and they would do it! The boys were so excited! We came up with a schedule - which actually was going to take 2 days. They were going to have their big adventure on Thursday and Friday but there was so much snow that week (the weather was horrible - in one day we got 10-12 inches of snow at our house and Snowbird got over 40 inches in just a couple of days) that Ed had to go skiing/snowboarding on Friday with one of his friends. So the big adventure was on Thursday and then Saturday afternoon (after Ed rode his bike 55 miles as a warm up for his 100 mile race).
Day 1 - IHOP, Kangaroo Zoo, Chuck E. Cheese's, Bowling, and Monsters vs. Aliens (the movie)
Day 2 - Boondocks (which is like 4 places in one)
What a GREAT dad! The boys will never forget their BIG Spring Break Adventure!

Wow, taking all of that on by himself is amazing. I am totally nominating him for Dad of the year. I am assuming that he took lots of pictures for your scrapbooks too, since I am hoping tha you weren't following them around but at home resting.
Oh yes, I was resting at home. I did not follow them around. Ed was very good at taking pictures for me!
Wow, what a fun two days! Now Ed's set a precedence for every Spring Break to follow :)
I'm sure that was nice for you to get to stay home and rest a bit as well, I don't know how you're even still coping being prego--I get so uncomfortable with just one--can't even begin to imagine what two would do! Hang in there!
I am exhausted just reading about this day!!! I'm sure the boys will never forget it.
WOW!! What a day! I just might have to encourage one of those days for Steve and his girls for a daddy daughter outing. That is one packed day... I bet they all slept well that night too! My kids always crash after time at one of those places, can't imagine all 3!
