Weekend getaway

My brother Brad recently returned from his mission and our family wasted no time on planning a little getaway with everyone. This last weekend we headed to Logan and Bear Lake for some play. It's pretty sad but this was the kids first stay at a hotel and they actually surprised us and did pretty well. They drove us crazy but they did sleep. We drive us thursday afternoon and met everyone at Maddox for dinner. Yummy!! We can't drive through Brigham City without a stop at Maddox.
Friday morning woke up and headed to Bear Lake. We had reserved waive runners for the day and they did not disappoint. It was a bit chilly that day (we were lucky if it hit 65) but we didn't let the cool weather dampen our day. We were just happy we didn't get rained on. We actually found that it was a bit warmer to hang out in the water than it was to hang out on the beach. After playing in the water all day we of course had to stop and get a raspberry shake. Oh and were they good!! That night we all went to dinner as a family. Anyone else feel that vacations are usually planned around where and what you are going to eat? I swear all we did was eat.

Saturday we woke up to rain, which kind of put a damper on our canyon plans. Instead we headed to the pepperidge farms outlet and then to some fun center for arcade games, laser tag and a game of bowling. Of course that was followed by lunch out and a pizza place. I think we all rolled out of there. By this time we were beat and it was past the kids nap time. We decided to call it good and headed home. It was a fun and tiring weekend.

Boston thought the lockers at the bowling alley were fun entertainment. He could actually crawl in and turn around and almost get the door closed.

Cute. What a fun trip. We really haven't gone anywhere and I am feeling the bug to jet somewhere. The only problem is money tree is bare. Dang it.
