Great Weekend #4

This may be our last consecutive great weekend. I know, hard to imagine, but really, there are no fun family things planned for this weekend. Unless you count USU's homecoming football game. . . and I don't. Or the boys merit badge pow wow. . . which I won't. So I'd better make this last one sound really good. The fun started on Wednesday night with the LHS football game in Ogden for Mike and the boys. Jessica went to the Bundy's to hang out and tend Emma and sleep over, while Ann picked me up for a movie, then to spend the night in Liberty with her along with Mike and the boys after the game was over. The boys enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, and even lured me in for a bit. We watched in amazement the discovery health show of the "treeman" with arms and legs that look like tree limbs but are actually warts. Yes, it's real! Thursday we spent the beautiful fall day in SLC- first going to the Hogle Zoo- a place I've never wanted to go. I'm not a fan of zoo's- and therefore have NEVER taken my kids to one. I was accused this summer by someone who shall remain nameless that that is child abuse, so I decided not to abuse my three youngest children, so we went! We had to do something outside since it was so nice, and we did have a fun time. We made a quick stop at "This is the place" since it's right across the street, then we had lunch at Rumbi Grill. We next went to the Bodyworlds exhibit which was very interesting and informative. We stopped at the Gateway for a bit before heading to Ogden to enjoy a delicious meal with the Bundys. A tiring, but fun day.

Saturday we spent quite a bit of time doing yard and house work, then took the boys to see the awesome movie "The Express." We highly recommend. Kylee, Brody, Jessica and Cale came over after than for a cookout of fresh trout (from a neighbor) and hot dogs, and a rousing game of scum. The kids spent a lot of time with their recently purchased new toys. Jessica bought a laptop which she's loved, Cam just bought himself an IPOD touch, and Jake got a new Wii game. We love spending time together as a family.
