Girls Outing in Heber

The second week of August was a Frandsen Boy's Outing to the Uintah's so the girl's in the family had an outing of their own.  Unfortunately, Luke was not able to go with the boys. He had used up his time off at work and couldn't get another week off.... but being the nice wife that I am, I still went and played.
We met up on Monday and went to Heber.  We stayed in a hotel, swam, and carted our large gaggle of girls around (11 grand daughters under 11 years old.)  Plus my Mom, my Aunt Laurel, my sister Jana, and my sister-in-laws, Tori and Joy. We missed Val, but her family from Italy was visiting so she stayed home.

On Tuesday we took a fun train ride on the Heber Creeper.  The ride was really cool.... a bit long for some of the smaller kids, but they all did so well considering it was a 3 hour ride! There was even an outlaw who came through the train car demanding money.... the kids LOVED that! They were so cute with their hands sticking up in the air, not sure if he was playing or really holding them up at gunpoint. The scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the old train was really neat. We really enjoyed it!

Later that day we stopped at a park in Heber and let the girls' get their wiggles out before the ride back.  That night I stayed with my sister and her girls at my Aunt Laurel's house.... which is not in Soldier Hollow (the pics are from the train ride)

It was so fun spending time with the girls and just having a little get-away.  Thanks Wombat (mom) for such a wonderful, memorable, trip!
