I was lucky enough to have the weekend off so we packed it full of fun things (including the flu)!
I did have to work most of Friday, but when I got home that evening we took the kids down to Fiesta Days and had some fun there. We splurged and let the kids ride their favorite carnival ride....the super slide! This was the one ride my siblings and I got to ride when we went to the fair when I was growing up and the tradition continues. Those rides are ridiculously priced!
They loved it and caught some serious air at the bottom of the slide. Adam went from his bum to his knees. That kind of freaked him out.
We got some snow cones to cool off after walking around for awhile. Now we get to check that off our summer "to do" list.
Showing off their mustaches.
We splurged some more and let the kids try a funnel cake.
Wrestling in the park with Daddy.
Tessa really needs to work on her picture taking skills.
Saturday evening took us to the Richards home where we enjoyed good company and good food. We had a dutch oven dinner and the kids had fun seeing all of the animals. They have new chicks and the kids loved watching them run around. We got to see the pigs get their slop, feed the horses, and watch the cows tease Molly the dog.
On Sunday afternoon Eric was in meeting most of the day, so the kids and I went on a little excursion. Some home builders have built a real life "Up" house. When I saw this on the news a while back I added it to our summer list. They are supposed to fly balloons from the chimney on the weekends, so we were disappointed there were no balloons when we got there. It is still a darling house and the kids loved it! For $400,000 it can be yours. Adam totally wants to buy it!
Next we headed to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple for some pictures. It was a beautiful afternoon!
On our way home we stopped by the grocery store for a quick picture with one of the floats due to appear in tomorrow's Pioneer Day/Fiesta Days parade.
It has been a fun filled weekend (minus the flu bug). I can't wait to have more weekends off with everyone!
