Pictures from our Vacation

We even spent some time with our friends, Teigan loved it Walking around Temple Square was beautiful! We saw the Joseph Smith movie and then ate at The Garden Restaurant on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building. We also had a short tour of the conference center which is HUGE!

Thanksgiving Point was so much fun! The kids dug for fossils and played in the water-sand area. They built different kinds of dinosaurs and Corbin even tried to catch a real fish! (not part of the exhibit!) We also watched the 3D movie (it was ok)

Firework Show!

Fourth of July Parade!

After swimming at Seven Peaks we had a BBQ at a near by park.

We had a blast at Seven Peaks!

Pool Drama!

Pool Drama!

We had one surprise when we got home from vacation. And it was a big surprise! The pool that we got a month ago, somehow the seam came apart and drained the whole pool! I don't know how long it had been sitting there, almost empty, but there was algae and some other things floating or trying to live in there, it was pretty gross! Nate and Corbin patched up the pool and we started filled up the pool again! 10 hours later it was almost full! and then the seam started to separate. It only separated a little, so there were only two streams of water leaking out, when Corbin had the great idea to try and plug it up with his hands! Oh dear! The whole seam separated and there went all the water! I think it emptied in 15 minutes and our whole back yard was a lake! It was kind of sad but I think it was more funny! If it didn't happen then, it would have happened sooner or later.

Vacation Planning

I have one word of advice if anybody is planning a vacation. Make sure that you have some down days! Days where you don't do anything but RELAX! Especially if you have kids. We just got back from our 10 day vacation and let me tell you it was definitely a different kind of vacationing compared to 3 years ago! With two kids, a husband, your immediate family, and then extended family, and trying to please all of them, WOW! thats all I got to say about that. I do have to say it was good to see everyone, especially since we only see each other every two years. We also made it in time for my cousins wedding and reception, which wasnt the original plan, so that was exciting. All in all it was a good vacation! : ) (other than the driving, driving, driving, and going, going, going.)
