Labor Day Weekend

It's been more than a month since we were able to head up to SLC and see my cousins and the zoo!  We were so excited to take off Thursday night and drive up to Oma and Apa's house.

Friday we, of course, started our day of with a trip to the zoo to enjoy the animals.  We just love it there.  And then Mommy took us to explore the new shopping center, City Creek.  It was overwhelming and Mommy felt ridiculously underdressed in shorts and flip flops (where were her heels and designer jeans?!! The horror) but it was amazing and such a pretty place and we enjoyed the play place that everyone has been raving about.

Saturday we took the time to jaunt up to Midway for Swiss Days!  Of course, we were supposed to jaunt up there crazy early at 5 am so Daddy could run a 10k but thunder and lightening and cold rain caused us to stay snug in our beds until 9 or so!  Wished Daddy could have run, but glad we still went later.  It was nice to see Double Grandma and Grandpa while watching the parade.  And of course we added to our iron Halloween decorations...they were just too perfect to pass up.  Afterward we hung out with Aunt Lisa and Adalee and played in the yard.  We didn't want to leave!

Once again, we ended up going to church with the Preslars (it's embarrassing when the RS knows your mom and they don't even sing Hello to you in Primary anymore!)  And we once again got talked into staying an extra night.  Well worth it though even if Cara had intestinal difficulties because of the antibiotic she had been on!

She wouldn't pause to take a picture....


Swiss Days started out rainier and colder than two years ago!


Siena did this awesome ride that simulated a hot air ballon ride...


She loved of course!
