This Valentines was quite event full! Colby and I decided to take a mini vaca. and take the boys to Midway and stay at the beautiful Zermatt Resort. It is located across the street from the Homestead which is the only other place we have ever stayed. We defiantly want to go again as a couple. There is so much to do to relax there. But with kids it was fun in a whole different way!
The most exciting part was that Avery got accustomed to the water again. After a near drown ding experience in California last Summer, Ave has not looked at water the same way. When ever a pool is near by or even in talking about going swimming he bursts in teas for 30 minutes repeatedly saying how he "doesn't want to die in the water mama" I feel bad for him and realize how traumatic that situation was for him and the quilt I feel for not being there. We've taken him swimming since but never with any success. This time was perfect it was quite and I was able to give him my full attention and support. He played on the stairs most of the time but near the end wanted to go swim so Colby or I would take him out and explore a little. But once he got uncomfortable and asked to go back , that's what we did I didn't want to push him any. I was pleased with what he was willing to do. Soon it was in and out of the pool vs the hot tub. He was really enjoying it putting his head underwater and blowing bubbles. Soon he was not willing to leave the pool as it was time to go. All the night and next day he was relentless in asking to go swimming again. So we went 2 more times. We had a blast.
The boys enjoyed a treasure Valentines hunt around the hotel in and out, it ended in a bakery getting rewarded with a sucker and cookie.
We went back and played games in the room and blew up balloons to play with. That night as dusk was setting, we went and visited the Ice Castles. It was 13.00 to get us in ants cheaper if you buy the tickets at the local Mexican Restaurant down the road, but we were pressed for time. It was a quick trip as it was quite cold. We had a picture taken and bought it for $10.00. They were beautiful and amazing. A little scary as you walk threw arches. Huge sharp icicles pointing down at you. I was a little scared, good thing the earthquake that happened this week a couple days later was not in Midway and in Lehi instead.
We ate Dinner at Schneider's Fine Dining Restaurant, it is attached to the hotel. The food was delicious, beautiful and filled us up. The boys ate for free which was nice! Our meal ended up costing over $100. but it was all included in our package. They had a Valentines special that I took advantage of that include 1 night stay breakfast at Maggie's and the dinner. Also they threw in a show that was held at their event center. We got our moneys worth for sure!! We highly recommend the Zermatt!
Colby is not a fan of buying jewelry so I was extremal surprised when he gifted me with a diamond necklace at dinner. He's coming around! Its beautiful and very much my style I actually have earrings that match it!
The man I get for my VALENTINE!
