Yesterday we went up to Layton to dye eggs with Noah, Sam, and Jami at Aunt Laura's house. I forgot to bring an extra shirt that I wouldn't mind getting messy, so we just let Gwen wear an old apron instead. Gwen loves her cousin Noah.

Jonathan and I bought season passes so we'll be back for sure. I love that they even have a little cave exploring area and lots of places to sit and watch Gwen bug the older kids instead of me for once. The very best part of the day was when Gwen grabbed my
