 And we topped off my weekend with perhaps my new favorite "Close to home" hangout spot. We grabbed Subway lunches for a picnic and headed to Glen Park in Highland to catch some rays and swim! There's a natural fed Spring pond right behind Lone Peak High school that is just the perfect temperature and great size! There were kids kayaking (or other small boats and things like stand up paddle boards) They have lots of nice trails and paths around the area (pretty sure it connects to the Murdock Canal biking trail), 3-4 docks for standing and fishing off of, and there's a great little swimming area. Dogs are even allowed (but must stay on leashed.. i think they're pretty strict about this) Water feels great! All in all its a pretty nice stop for being close to my house. I can't wait to take the boys for a run around the pond and then hop in to cool off!

 And the 3rd day/ second stop was especially SPECIAL as it was Belize AND my mom's birthday! The last  time she cruised to Belize they couldn't get off the ship due to bad weather so now she got her chance for adventure and You Better Belize it was an amazing time! First we had to get up super early to ferry in from the ship. There's our cruise ship floating way out at sea still!  And then we were in for an hour and a half bus ride each way through the city and then the jungle to reach the play ground of Chukka where we were going to Zipline and Cave Tube! We were sooo stoked! The city of Belize was.. well a little scary. I was glad to be on a tour bus but our bus guides were super enthusiastic about teaching us the culture and history of Belize. Oh! And how to talk like we're from the Caribbean. It helped make the bus ride not feel quite so long..  Once we got into the jungle, we got to take a school bus, may 1/2 mile over some sketchy roads to the ...
