Our little "Stay-cation"...

I am really late in posting this, but David took the first week of November off from work so we could do a little "stay-cation". (We didn't plan very well, because we were making lots of plans for what we were going to do that week, and we didn't even think that the girls would still have school! DUH!) With the baby on the way and Christmas and birthdays, we didn't have the funds to go on a vacation. We decided that there were tons of things right here in Utah that we have never done before, and David is super busy with work and school, so we never see him. We took Alyssa out of school on Thursday and Friday to have some fun. She was actually mad at us because she LOVES school! On Thursday we went down to Utah County for our first day of fun. We started with lunch at Thanksgiving Point and then we headed over to the Dinosaur Museum. While we were there, we watched the 3-D movie (which was lame) and walked around forever! I didn't realize how big it would be. The girls loved it though, and they had a lot of fun.






After the museum, we (David) decided we needed to see Cabela's. My feet were killing me, so I wasn't too excited, but then I remembered that they have yummy fudge! The girls like checking out all of the "stuffed" animals (they thought we would see toys). We also got to see them feed the fish. It is actually a cool place, I found a rocking camp chair where I sat until David was done looking around. We ended up having dinner there. We were very worn out after our long day.
On Friday, we spent our day at the Gateway. We went to the Clark Planetarium and checked out all the cool exhibits. We learned lots of cool things about the planets.
We were all hungry by then, so we had lunch at Costa Vida. The final event of the day was to go see High School Musical 3. Alyssa and Abbey have been dying to see it. Abbey fell asleep and missed most of it, but I was okay with that because she is usually very loud at movies and it is hard to keep her quiet. Alyssa really liked it though. We had a great time hanging out together! Most of the time it is just me and the girls because David is so busy, but it was great to have him with us for a fun weekend. I actually have him to thank because he planned most of the weekend. Thanks Dave!
