Luke went with his dad and brother-in-law on a horse pack-trip for the weekend. They had a good time but got drenched from the rain. One really awesome thing he experienced was bugling in some elk who returned the call all night long. So between the pouring rain on their tarp tent and the elk bugling all night... (and his dad's snoring and Chris' sleeping antics) Luke didn't exactly get a good nights rest... but hey. That's what campings all about, right? I don't even think he pulled his camera out... so sorry. No pics or at least none I'm aware of.
Meanwhile........ we girls decided that if they were going to go have fun without us.. We'd have some fun of our own. And oh, baby, we certainly did!
We spent Saturday in Salt Lake at the Hogle Zoo. It was so fun and SOOOOO busy. Apparently the busiest day of the year. It didn't hinder our animal observing too much though. Tianna an Aden had a blast and we saw some pretty amazing animals.
Afterwards we ate downtown at Ramano's Macaroni Grill--- YUM!!! Then headed off to our hotel. (Thanks Laura for getting us the awesome deal) At the hotel we treated ourselves to a spa day ... er.. night. We swam and took advantage of the hot tub then tried to get our wild children asleep. In the midst of that goal we even used face masks. It was hilarious-- Tianna was laying in her bed while I did my mask. She looks at me, giggles and says "Face funny, mom." Yes, yes, it is.
On Sunday we went to my brother, James' ward before heading home.
Monday we did power quilting... I had to borrow quilt stands and frames to do Tianna'a quilt and since we didn't have the whole weekend like I had kind of expected, we had to sew like mad! We did however finish (at 9 pm) and still had to get back to Logan.. which we didn't get home until 2 am. But I owe a HUGE THANK YOU to Grandma Peacock, Belinda, Monica, Courtney, and Luke. And thank you Bert and Chris for helping to wrangle the kids so that we could quilt! As soon as it's bound, I'll post the final outcome.
(Here's a slide show of all our zoo pics. I have both because I'm going to print out our blog pages and I don't know how slide shows will work. so.. if you want to check it out go a head. Some pictures will be repeats.)
