Weekend Fun

(This is also going to be a long post that is full of pictures!!!) Friday night after Mike got off work we headed up to Aurora to stay with my parents before heading up Saturday morning for the zoo with Chase, Nancy, and Hagen. If you want to know more about the history on that you can look at Nancy's blog she kinda summed it up.... ) We had a fun time at the zoo but not as fun as the kids. Here are some pics of the zoo adventure.

This is Mike pulling Brooke back up a hill so they could go down again..... The following is a picture of them going down the hill (Mike admits he's not a day over 3 at heart....lol)







Brooke thought it would be fun to pull her dad around in the wagon. It was quite interesting trying to go down a little hill. A lot of people had a good smile just watching!





I can't tell whether he looks like he's laughing or crying in the picture, but he really was laughing!

After the zoo we went shopping a bit at the Gateway Mall and to dinner at the Myan! As Nancy said Brooke was a little weary when were walking to our table. We explained that it's like a jungle and she seemed good with that thought it was kinda cool until the "thunder" started. (She hates thunder... but for some reason it was worse that night). She liked watching the divers until it came to the part where there was a guy with a gobling mask on and she flipped. She had to sit on my lap and only peek through her fingers. I had a hard time putting her in her seat after he left. She was beyond ready to leave by the time our food got there. But she did have fun! Then afterwards we went back to the hotel ready to go swimming only to find it was outdoors and they had shut it down for the season. However we did get some hot tub time in!!! The kids had fun climing in and out and playing a little. Here are some pics of that.







Then Sunday we went shopping at Cabelas and Provo Mall before heading back towards home. Needless to say Brooke was completely warn out and fell asleep at 7:45 and slept the whole night (didn't even wake up at her usual spot in the road before getting home)It was quite a peaceful trip home!!!!

Thank you to Nancy and Chase for driving us (even though you tried to kill us Chase we forgive you... j/k) And thank you for going with and putting up with us ( I know we can be a handful!! lol) We had lots of fun and it was definately nice to get away!
