Mom Visits

My mom came to Boise to help us pack and load up the moving truck and then drove to Utah with us and stayed for our first few days here.  It was the BIGGEST help having her here.  My mom is a PRO at loading up moving trucks.  I'm convinced we would have had to leave a bunch of things behind if it weren't for her. Her and Thomas managed to get it all squeezed in.
When we got to Utah she stocked our fridge and was a big help in keeping Brooklyn entertained while we unloaded the truck.
We were able to do a couple fun outings while she was here including the Farm Animals at Thanksgiving Pointe and the Hogle Zoo.
At the Farm exhibit they have basically every farm animal you can think of.  Plus you can go on a wagon ride and unlimited pony rides! Brooklyn chose to ride the minature ponies.  Her first time she wanted me to hold onto her as she rode around. The second time I just had to walk alongside her.
One day we were packing and my mom took Brooklyn to the park.  On there way there Brooklyn needed to go to the bathroom so they stopped at a nearby diner.  Of course Brooklyn convinced my mom to get her fries and some lemonade. I've realized that really the biggest help to someone with kids when they are moving is to offer to watch their kids.
 They have this cute little ice cream shop at Thanksgiving Point and kids cones are only .25 I have a feeling we'll be hitting that store up frequently.
 We dropped my mom off at the SLC airport in the afternoon so took advantage of being in Salt Lake and went to the Hogle Zoo.
