"STAYCATION"

This year for UEA we decided to have a "staycation". You know, when you are on vacation in your own city (or close enough). We stayed in Park City at the Canyons resort. JUST BEAUTIFUL! Then we had our trip packed with activities close by. The first night we went to a pumpkin patch but it was closed. So we went for a drive and found an even better one. We have always picked our pumpkins from the vine so that was important to us. This place was like Thanksgiving Point's Cornbelly's. We went on a hayride, then we cheered on the red pig in a pig race, and slid down an enormous slide. Great fun! What a fun way to start our endeavor.

SO EXCITED!!

On our way to the pumpkin patch.

(We had an awesome

tractor driver.)

We found the perfect pumpkins

Mine was the smallest one. I seem to be the only

one that remembers that I end up carving all of them!

Wait. . . maybe they do realize that!?

It looks like Ty is standing up. That's because he

practically is. The slide was incredibly steep!

SATURDAY. . .GAME DAY

We first went to the Utah game on Saturday that weekend. It was perfect weather. I was so worried we were going to have to pack the kids with all their winter garb. It was awesome, Utah won, the kids had a good time, our game neighbors were awesome as always, and again the weather was great.

Because we were on vacation we had to eat out. So we went to Red Lobster.

Note the fishy faces :)

Finally, that night we went to the Real soccer game in their new stadium. If you haven't been it's a "must try". There's not a bad seat in the house.

I'm thinking that we will try this "Staycation" thing again.

VERY FUN!!
