Spring Break in Utah! Kenedy teaching, Escape Room and Jazz Game

Thursday morning Kefford, Avynlea, Rylee and I left for Utah. We drove in separate cars, Kefford and Rylee in the Farms mustang and Avynlea and I in the Traverse. Matt expressed interest in buying the mustang so Kefford agreed to drive it down for him. On our way through Salt Lake City we stopped off at Kenedy's school to see her and to see her as a teacher. It was a half day for the kids and we got there as they were eating lunch. After lunch they got their coats and went outside, Kefford had fun interacting with some of her students as they were getting themselves ready to go out. 
Kefford wanted a picture taken of him at the little sink in the bathroom in Kenedy's classroom. He was trying to look like a giant at the little sink
After the kids got their backpacks ready to go home Kenedy gathered them together and read them a story. She is such a cute teacher and it was so fun to see this side of her.
Later that night we went with the Robertsons and Kenedy and Tyler to an Escape Room. I have never done an escape room and was pretty excited to try it out. Isabelle works at this one so we got a discount and a little bit of extra help from her. She and the actress in the room with us did a good job playing a part, giving us clues, and guiding us in the right direction without taking away from the experience or making it seem like we didn't do it on our own. It was a Harry Potter themed Escape room and we had to make a decision to help the Minister of Magic or join with the Death Eaters. I found it a little overwhelming in the beginning of the hour, there were a lot of us in the room and everyone was talking and doing different things and it was a lot. I found myself just standing there for a couple of minutes not knowing what to do and feeling like a dum dum. I finally jumped in and started helping and doing puzzles, it was really chaotic without any organization so I spent a lot of the time trying to help but not really knowing what was going on. Once we competed all of the puzzles we had the choice to help the Ministry of Magic and destroy the time turner Voldemort wanted or to join the Death Eaters, kill the actress and procure the time turner for Voldemort. We were pretty divided on what we should do, I went back and forth a couple times, but in the end we decided to do the right thing and destroy the time turner. It was a lot of fun and I would like to do another escape room, hopefully feeling a little more confidant in what I am supposed to be doing.
On Friday Tyler took Avynlea and Rylee out to lunch and then they met up with Kenedy at the mall. While they were there they randomly ran into Danny Ricks. Danny is in town to go to the Jazz game with Keffird and Renn but how fun that the girls got to see one of their favorite humans and visit with him for a little bit. 
Later that evening Kefford went to the Utah Jazz game with Danny Ricks and Renn Lamm, it was fun for these three to get back together and hang out. They are good friends who do not get to see each other as much and it was fun for them to hang out and catch up.
