In my last post I said we'd be trying to head out to Salt Lake, and we did. But we did not go to Liberty Park because there were a whole lot of people there and not much going on. So, since we were in Salt Lake we went over to the Gateway Mall. We had to go to the Apple store for Jason to look at the iPad because he wants one. Then we took the kids to the Discovery Children's Museum. They had a blast.

Jayden playing with the water toys.

Stacey climbed the rock wall. Neither of the boys wanted anything to do with that.

Kail found the vacuum in the little house and started to vacuum. He even made his own noises. It was really cute. He makes his own noises at home with the real vacuums too.

They had so much fun. We were there so long that Jason and I got bored. We had to finally drag the kids out because we didn't want to be in there anymore. It was crazy, but they had fun and that's all that mattered.

On a different note, my grandpa is in the hospital. He went in for a doctor appointment on Thursday where they found fluid in his lungs and his ECG was unusual. So they sent him over to a different part of the hospital his doctor is in after they drained the fluid out of one of his lungs. There was a complication when they did the draining that caused a small tear in his lung which caused that lung to collapse. During the move from his doctor's office to the other part of the hospital his doctor sent him to, grandpa was in so much pain from the collapses lung and his back that he fainted. Grandpa also has a problem with his back that makes it so he cannot sit up straight.

I did not go see him until last night. He was awake from Thursday to Saturday, but he was in a lot of pain. Saturday night he was having problems and they had to put him on a respirator. He is mildly sedated and restrained so that he does not attempt to pull the many tubes he's connected to out. It was a sad sight, especially when he used to be so vibrant and active. We are praying that he does better.
