Mini Stay-cation

We went on a mini family stay-cation last week. Bryan took Thursday and Friday off work so that we could do some fun stuff with the kids before school started.

On Thursday we took the kids to Lagoon. They had been begging all summer to go. We didn't tell them where we were going ahead of time, so they were all pleasantly surprised when we pulled into the parking lot. They all had a really good time riding the rides. Kate spent most of the time in the stroller, but was still really good the whole day. On Friday we went to Seven Peaks Water Park. I love this park. When we lived down in Provo we would get season passes so that we could go often. It's small enough that I feel OK letting Anna and Ellie go off together to ride the slides, but big enough to not get bored. Tyler loved the slides too, but had to go with a parent. We even took Kate down some of the tube slides. It was a clear, sunny, hot day- perfect for the pool. That night we stayed down at Bryan's parents house in Springville. It was nice not having to drive all they way home.On Saturday Bryan and his Dad took the 3 older kids on a hike to Round Peak in Springville. It was super hot outside and they all came back tired and sweaty. I think it was a longer hike than what they were expecting. I stayed at the house the Kate. The arrow in the picture is pointing to where they hiked to.Overall we had a really fun time together. It's always good to get away as a family every once in a while.
