In March we headed out for our 2nd annual trip to Salt Lake City to visit Emily. Ez was in heaven roaming through the airport. The timing of our flight was perfect, in that Ezra would be due for a nap at take off. *The timing also coincided with his last ever nursing session. This was a difficult decision for me to make, but my pregnancy helped pushed me along. At this point I was only nursing in the morning, right when Ezra woke up. I figured that since the morning routine would be so different, this would be a perfect time to wean him. And it was. He didn't even seem phased by it. Not until we got home of course. He had two days of udder (haha) utter sadness, and then he got over it. If anything, I probably missed it more than he did. I cherished those quiet minutes together, just staring at him and treasuring his snuggles.
Ez literally fell asleep as we were taking off and then woke back up just in time to enjoy the sights and the bumpy landing. It was a dream. Em picked us up from the airport and we headed straight to Cafe Rio for a yummy lunch.
After lunch we headed to Liberty Park. Ez loved people watching and testing out all of the swing options. We were all happy to be in the fresh air with our sweet Emmy.
After the park, we paroozed around the mall and checked into our hotel.
We went to In N Out Burgers for dinner. It was the first time T and I had been there. We both agreed that the burgers were pretty good, but not worth all of the hype. Em got sick afterwords- sealing the deal that we won't be going there again. On the way home Ez zonked out. We thought he was down for the night... Unfortunately, the cat nap in the car was all the energy he needed to put on a show for the next hour.
Saturday was spent eating yummy food, park hopping, and meeting Em's boyfriend, Drew. Emily and I escaped while Ez and T napped to get milkshakes and our nails done. The day couldn't have been better.
On Sunday we went to church in the morning and then had a picnic in a park down the street from Em's house. Ez fell in love with Cheetos on this excursion and now randomly chants "Cheeto! cheeto!" when he is excited about something.
After we all took a nap, we walked down to Temple Square. Each time we walked through Temple Square Ezra would say "Je, Je" (Je=Jesus) right when we stepped onto the grounds. He is a very spiritual guy. We all had fun roaming around and just being together.
We treasure our trips to visit Emily and hope that some day she will simply be a car ride away.
