Christmas in September

For Christmas mom and dad got us all a vacation away from home.  This weekend was the weekend we could all be together so it was time to celebrate.  On Friday we went to the hotel in Salt Lake.  We arrived soon after mom and dad and then went to dinner at CostaVida.  Soon Johns family arrived and we all went down to swim in the pool.  Of course both girls loved it!  Back up to the rooms for showers and then I put Avey to bed (mom babysat in our room) and we went and played a game of Monopoly Deal.  Jessica and Sherstins families arrived soon after.

In the morning we ate breakfast and headed to the Hale Center Theater.  Julias sister Kimmie and her husband watched Avey and Wesley and the rest of the kids were old enough to go.  We saw the play Tarzan.  It was amazing!!  That was my favorite part of the day!

Next we drove to Chuckie Cheese and had pizza and played games.  Mom stayed with the little kids there and we all headed next door for some lazer tag.  Another highlight of the trip.  It was so much fun!  The first game we played I took second place out of everyone being beat only by Bart!  I was pretty proud of that.  Unfortunately that meant I had a target on my back and the second game I scored pretty bad.

Last we went to Cowabungabay for some swimming.  It was a little chilly and overcast, but it was still a lot of fun.  I like that it is a very family friendly place.  We ate dinner at Chuck-o-rama and the vacation was over.  It was such a fun trip!  We love having Christmas in September.
