Fall Break

Fall break was a "staycation" this year and it was a blast! The kids had Thursday and Friday off from school and Powell was actually home for both days....miracles have not ceased! We didn't want to spend a lot of money so we looked for things that were cheap. We drove up north on Thursday and stopped at Olive Garden because we had a gift card there. We haven't taken our whole family out to eat in a "sit down" restaurant for a long time so the kids really enjoyed it. All of them loved their food (which was nice). Next we went to the Hill Air Force Base Air Museum. It was free and it was amazing!!! There were a lot more planes than we ever imagined. Everyone had a good time. We promised Brin that we would take her to a jumping place on her birthday and it never happened so we looked for one in Salt Lake. We went to Airborne. Afterwards the kids were starving again and we found out that kids eat free on Thursdays at IHOP so we stopped there.We ate out twice in one day....hurray!! We drove home with some very tired kiddos. Friday was a rainy day so we just stayed home. Saturday we invited the Henkes to ride the Heber Valley Railroad. Peggy got 7 free tickets at Relay for Life. Wahooooooo! It's expensive to ride so we were glad for the free tickets. We did the ride all the way to Vivian Park. We packed a lunch and ate it while the train turned around. They've added a few things to the 3 hour train ride to make it more interesting. We went home and the kids played some more with the Henke kids.

Can't believe I have a daughter who looks so old!

This boy loved the soup!

Mckenna threw a tantrum when we didn't dish her up any salad. She has to be like everyone else.

Notice the empty plates

Example of the Wright Brother's plane

We took our small camera so a lot of our jumping pictures turned out blurry.

Love that her feet are in the air

Sunk herself in the foam pit

Rubbing her belly....she was so tired without her nap

Might be time for some deodorant for this guy

IHOP....Hunter is having a momemt.....it was the discussion over who was having a kids meal and who wasn't!

Brinley was amazed at all the different kinds of syrup and put all of them on her pancakes. Notice the syrups lined up in the background.

Ready to ride the train

My old English teacher Bruce Jensen was a pretty good actor

Singing cowgirl was actually really good.
