Midway

Over the weekend, we went on a mini-Vacation to Midway - with our neighbors Troy, Andrea and their two boys Braxton and Tanner.

On Friday we went to the Homestead to swim in the Crater - it was a blast! The water was 90 degrees, and 65 feet deep. The Crater circulates its water every 3 days - It was very relaxing - Nick keeps trying to tell me that it was my spa treatment for the month - forget it Nick! Our video camera is currently holding our pictures hostage - so here are some views off line -




We also rode on the Heber Creeper! Braxton is obsessed with trains! The ride was beautiful! We were able to sit in an open-air car! The weather was perfect! It was so fun to see all of the changing colors!






On Saturday we drove to Park City to ride the Alpine Slide - unfortunately for us - they closed the slide down because of rain and lightning. We were a little upset - because there had been a slight drizzle, and no lightning - Despite our multiple phone calls, from different cell phones and callers - imploring them to open the slide - they would not. Braxton even suggested they make a cover for the slide to keep it from getting wet!

We headed down the canyon, and decided to settle for bowling. It was Braxton's first time bowling - however, he is quite the expert on the Wii - and he currently holds the record on our Wii at 192!





We stopped for some Cheesecake Factory - our all time favorite!! Paige's brother Mike and his wife Summer came to join us!
As usual - the food was DIVINE!

The Stock Show

HONESTLY - ANIMALS STINK! REAL BAD!!

Today was Paige's first experience at a livestock show. She got to see a pig and a lamb for the first time - and - BRACE YOURSELVES - she tried a LAMB-BURGER - right as she bit into it - a lamb went baaa - She nearly vomited! However, she was able to control her vomit urges - but- she burst into tears!

Despite the dust, screaming children, and enormous amounts of poop - we were very proud of our niece Shakell, and our nephew Kaden - for showing their lambs! They did a great job!

We also got to see the Budweiser Clydesdales! They were GINORMOUS!! We got to see one get a pedicure - and new shoes!





Paige is already counting down the days until she can participate in another stock show!
