Monday my cold was hanging around so we decided to hang out at home for a day and try and recouperate so we didn't slime my family. I feel like one or all of us are always sick when we visit! It was pretty wonderful to see how happy the girls were to pull out sand toys and just be outside enjoying the warm weather we have been aching for! Emmy had a inner urge to jump off of something, as she put it which spurred hours of creating flying contracptions. I am sooo super grateful these girls are old enough to execute the crafts they want to make with little help from me.
We drove to Utah Tuesday morning and got there in time for Lizzy's 3rd birthday celebration at my parents house! Rozzie and Asher had some sweet baby bonding moments. Rozzie was especially fascinated with Asher's beautiful, soft curls. My Dad and Nick rigged up a zipline next door at his rental property. I love what daredevils all of these kids are!
Wednesday
I have relly been loving going to step classes for the past few years at the Apple Athletic Club and we have probably one of the best instructors anyone could ever ask for, Stacey! She really is a ray of sunshine...especially at theose 6am classes where for awhile I waas just asking myseelf why was I even there! Haha! So this last December I decided I wanted to try and see how other innstructors compared and if I really had just built our gym and instructors up in my head. So I did some research and tried to find some gyms close to my parents housee in Lehi. I found they had step clases at Vasa in American Fork and at the Lehi Legacy Center. The one at Vasa wa so different in the ffact that the instrctor didn't really call out the moves and expected everyone to memorize the routine that I guesss they would repeat in classes for the next few weeks, At the Apple, Stacey always calls out the moves for the entire class and changes it weekly. So today I got to try a new instructor at the Legacy Center and she did a routine where you use your "neighbors" step. I loved it, I definately like my regular classes better but I was dripping sweat and burned a ton of calories according to my Myzone heart reate monitor so it was a pretty great workout. I had such a runners high feeling after class I decided to run 3 miles to finish things off. I went shopping wwith Katie at the raverse Mtn Outlets and out to lunch at Slapfish. I would reccomend anything with lobsters there! Delish!! I took the girls to Trafalga in Lehi lateteer in the afternoon and I was sooooo grateful that the rockclimbling wall was torn to pieces and the indoor minuature golf was closed because then we didn't have to stay that long (I was hitting a wall and just wanted to take a nap after my big workout and even bigger lunch!) We went to Katie's house and hung out until it was time to collapsse into our beds. It was a good day in my book!
