First Big Outing!

In the middle of April, I ventured to Salt Lake with the two kids and just me. It was the first time I had taken them both out for an outing longer than a little shopping trip so I was a little nervous about managing two kids. Especially since I was still recovering (but I was doing much better) and I had to do it sometime!

I went because I was able to get some formula from someone for a good price (her baby didn't like that kind, I guess) and because people at Nate's work wanted to see the baby. So we first got the formula, then went to Nate's work. There was some definite oohing and ahhing since she's just beautiful, then we went out to lunch with Nate to Carl's Jr. I happened to see an old high school friend there (Dan Adams), so we did some quick catching up.

After lunch, we dropped Nate off at work, and I took the kids to the Clark Planetarium. Logan has been there before, but he was probably just a year and half so I'm sure he didn't remember it. He really had a blast this time and especially loved looking at Newton's Daydream (the ball contraption). He also loved this thermal camera thing that showed red for warm parts and blue for cold parts. You could put one hand on a cold thing it would show blue and one hand on the warm thing and it would show red. We played with that for quite awhile and touched different body parts to make them warm or cold.

For the most part, everything went fine except for a time when Logan wanted to go down the stairs and was on his way down them, and I had Kylie in the stroller so I couldn't go down them and I didn't want to leave her by herself but I also didn't want Logan to be downstairs by himself. I finally convinced him to come back up so we could use the elevator. But I was a bit nervous for a minute that I would have to run down to get him and leave Kylie upstairs for a minute.

But my first outing was a success!
