Bryce was not able to take any time off for Spring Break and we didn't have lots of money to spend, so we stayed around here and had a blast just spending time together as a family. First we went over to Power Line Park to play on the playground, eat lunch, and let the boys ride their bikes on the skate park.
Cooper and Clayton enjoyed playing in the sand and riding on the pretend dinosaurs. The playground excitement wore off quickly when they saw the skate park and dirt bike course. At first, Cooper was very hesitant to go on the little dirt hills. In fact, he creeped over the smallest hill and almost tipped over. As soon as he gained a little confidence, he couldn't be stopped and he went all over the course. I was really proud of him. It was fun to watch the excitement in his eyes as he went up and down the hills.
The boys also enjoyed going up and down the ramps. They were a little steep, but as soon as they got the feel of things, they went up and down them. They also had a fun time running up and down them and Clayton liked to slide down the ramps. Since we discovered this place, I am sure we will be back multiple times in the future!
We also went to the Clearfield Aquatics Center. It was perfect because it ended up being a mother child swim day, so we had two hours of children 8 and under. It wasn't loud or chaotic and there were not a lot of people there. Cooper, of course, enjoyed swimming in the little whirlpool with his goggles. Clayton enjoyed his little water slide over and over again. It was fun to just sit and watch them play and enjoy the water.
One of the days, we went to the Ogden Nature Center. The weather was perfect for the nature center. You do a lot of walking there and most everything is outdoors. We started off by walking through the bird houses and the boys pointed out some of their favorites.
We also went by the bird cages where the boys got to see some Eagles and Hawks and other interesting birds. They had a huge eagles nest laying on the ground and the boys climbed in to take a pictures. They also wanted to climb some of the trees. We walked out to some of the lookouts.
The trails were beautiful with the fallen leaves on the ground and the trails were enclosed by tree branches. They boys raced up and down the trails. They found walking sticks and little dens where we could get in and hide.
Cooper climbed down into a Bear den. Clayton didn't want to get dirty so he passed on that idea. The boys were able to look out the binoculars and see two or three deer in the distance. They also enjoyed looking at a spider, a snake, and some other birds. It was a really fun activity and it got us up and moving. The cost is very cheap so it was a cost friendly activity for the family!
