We just went on an amazing family vacation.
Seriously, we had so much fun.
The weird part?
We just went to Utah.
You know, the place we've been living for most of the last four years.
The one that I hate.
Whatever.
It was fun.
Here's some highlights:
(*"some highlights" is actually going to be a bunch of pictures from the state fair and two from Cabella's. Apparently I didn't take as many pictures as I thought with the camera and I'm too retarded to get the ones off of my phone. I'll try and make Ty figure it out later.)
State Fair
We were really bummed that we were going to miss the Utah State Fair this year. We've gone every year since we got married and we love it. When we got to Utah and realized that it was still going we were super excited.
The Dairy Farmer's Association has this little exhibit set up to teach kids about being a farmer. It's super cute. They get to go from building to building doing farm things, then to the market to "sell" their stuff, then to the store to buy something with their profits.
Here's Leo harvesting grain:
The boys walking from one building to the next:
and Jay getting his apple:
We also saw all the animals that were still there.
(Since it was the last day of the fair a lot of them had gone home already.)
The yearly sheep picture:
Jay was fascinated by the sheep:
Here's the boys with an 800+ pound pumpkin:
Jay decided to chill on the table during lunch.
And both boys thought it would be funny if we paid a ridiculous amount of money for them to get a meal and then they only ate the bag of chips. (Approx retail value: $0.50)
And, of course, they passed out before we even got out of the parking lot.
Other Fun Things We Did
*Attended the Military Intelligence Ball
(Without kids.)
It was awesome!
Did I mention we didn't take the kids?
It was really fun.
(Don't worry. Aunt Krystal and Uncle Dan kept them entertained while we were gone.)
And John Schmidt was the entertainment.
If you haven't heard him play you should probably stop reading right now and visit YouTube.
It's worth your time.
*Went to family day at Fort Williams.
They had a parade and a bunch of activities for Governor's Day.
(I'm pretty sure that's not a real thing, but who am I to judge the military for celebrating made-up holidays?)
They had a bounce house that I couldn't tear Leo away from.
He only got off of it long enough to ride the mechanical bull for approximately .33 seconds.
*Went to Krystal and Dan's open house and then watched them open all of their wedding presents.
*Hung out with some old friends.
*Went to Cabella's and saw the huge fish:
And other, assorted dead things:
*And just had a good time hanging out with each other.
We'll have to do it again some time.
