Utah Vacation 2012

So we haven't had a real family vacation since Matthew and I went on our Honeymoon 5 years ago. Which I think means that life has been pretty busy. Oh well. At least we finally took the time to head to Utah as a family. It sure was nice to have Matthew go with us. The kids and I have taken a few trips together and left Matthew behind because he had to work. We headed to Utah to go visit my Dad and Cyndi. They had a few fun things planned for us, and I have to say that we had a fun time. We left Friday (26th) after Matthew got done working at the schools. Then Saturday we headed out for our day of fun!

We first headed to breakfast at Magleby's to enjoy some french toast, buttermilk syrup, and strawberries & cream. It is officially my favorite place to eat breakfast. Too bad I have only eaten there twice and will maybe be lucky to eat there once a year :)! Oh well, I will take what I can get.

Then we headed to WITCHFEST!

Proof that we were all there!

 It was a pretty cool event to go to. There was the little village will all these little shops that had clothes, books, toys, etc. The people that worked there dressed up like witches, and people that came even dressed up like witches. Next year Cyndi and I decided that we will have to come down again and dress up like witches. There were also witches placed all around the village. They also told us that in December they do an elves thing around the village. We might have to check it out one of these years :)!

Here are some of the witches:

This one made me laugh!

We sure were having fun!

THE GIRLS!!!!

THE GUYS!!!!

 We were able to head to the Living Planet Aquarium. We all loved it! 

Logan was able to poke his head up and look at the otters!

Ashlee had to too!

The otters were probably the best part of the Aquarium. They were so fun to watch. They were just so playful and active.

Trying to pet the stingrays!

Logan and Ashlee with Grandpa and Grandma!

We stopped to grab a bite to eat and Logan and Ashlee got to have some playtime with Grandma Cyndi.

 We then headed to do a little shopping. It was a long day and the kids had fun, but were pretty exhausted. We made it back to the house and then we stayed awake and played a few games. Then it was time for bed.    The next day we got up and got ready for church, we only stayed for sacrament, because we wanted to stop by and say hi to Aunt Vicki and Uncle Donny. We had a wonderful, short vacation. It is always fun to get away from everyday life and have fun and to visit family. Thanks again Dad and Cyndi for the fun weekend!!!!
