Busy Week

This year for fall break we decided to stay home and do a fun activity every day. Luckily the kids are young enough they don't need a big vacation to call it a successful school break.

MONDAY

We went to the annual pumpkin pick/weenie roast Greg's family hosts. It really is one of our favorite holiday events. The weather was beautiful, food was good and the kiddos had a ball.

Not a very flattering picture of the three of us, but oh well.

Happy momma, darling baby and beautiful sunset.

4 wheelin with uncle Greg.
TUESDAY
Nat was set apart for her mission. It was a beautiful blessing. Nat's mom was in Hawaii so I got to go with Brett to drop her off at the MTC. It was a beautiful day and we were able to get some great pictures. Then we pulled up to the curb, unloaded her luggage and off she went. She will do such a great job in Hong Kong. Go Seester Russell!!!

THURSDAY
We went with Jayne and her kids to Trafalga for the day. Laser tag was a hit, bumper boats---not so much. The kids had such a fun time together.

Happy faces.

Sad faces and wet clothes. The kids were ganged up on by 4 teenage boys on the bumper boats. Jayne was yelling like crazy, but they kept pinning the kids under the waterfalls. Pretty cool to pick on kids less than half your age--eh? When Spencer was recounting the story to Chad he couldn't remember that the kids who picked on them were called "teenagers", so he told him, "these humans kept squirting us and not letting us out of the water."

FRIDAY

We met Daddy for lunch and then went rock climbing. The boys have improved SO much since the last time I saw them climb. Abby was great to just watch. They are turning into little climbers-that's for sure.

SATURDAY

We intended to get up and off to the zoo first thing, but Abby decided to take a 2 1/2 hour nap. Of course. It was all good though. The kids were so great in the car and they loved the animals and especially the playground. It was just wonderful to be out in PERFECT weather with my little family.
