Fun week!! · posted Oct 16, 07:23 PM
We had a busy and fun week! On Wednesday we drove up to Idaho Falls for the AF Annual training meeting. We stayed in a nice all suite hotel with a big pool and hot tub for us to play in. We just hung around the hotel on Thursday while Jeremiah was ‘working’ and then we had the dinner that night. So we got all dressed up and dropped the boys off at the babysitters room. It was a bit boring sitting through about 100 awards and badges being handed out but it was a very nice dinner and was fun to get dressed up.
We carved out a pumpkin almost 2 weeks ago…it’s an alien and his ship!
Swimming at the hotel and playing in the cabinets and drawers in the room.
All dressed up and ready to go…Davin was super excited to go play with other kids and be with a ‘baby watcher’ as he calls them!
After the annual was over we drove up to Bear World, just about 20 minutes north of where we were staying. It was ridiculously expensive but Davin said he wanted this to be his reward for doing so well on his sticker chart. Plus who wants to drive 3 hours back home after a 3 year old has seen a small carnival! It was worth it and the boys had a lot of fun. There was a petting zoo and baby cubs to look at. In the petting zoo they had deer that were tame enough to kiss them, Brendin even tried it! They had a pot bellied pig, ducks, peacocks, chickens, and possibly the largest turkey in the world. We took a curator tour and drove arond feeding the HUGE bears.
We drove to a tiny town called Lava Falls and went in their hot springs. It was a really cute little town and the hot springs were HOT! Plus we spotted the first merry go round in a long time. Davin was pretty excited since he knows what one is but we have never found on in Salt Lake.
The boys were helping me make a pillow for Sarah and Ed’s baby shower.
We found a farm in the city! Wheeler Historic Farm is not too far from our house and we saw they were having a Scarecrow party. You pay $5 and the kids get to go on a wagon ride, hunt down a pumpkin in a real pumpkin patch, paint the pumpkin, make a candy spider craft, and all we had to bring was clothes and they supplied everything else to make a scarecrow. We had a lot of fun and spent a few hours they. They also have horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, cows and other animals to look at. Their is a huge park area and they have so much land with trails on it we are going to go walking there before it gets too cold.
