OUR FAMILY VACATION.....PART ONE!!! :0

The first weekend in August we took a family trip!! It has been over 4 years since we have done something all together as a family. With the kids getting older and more involved, it is too hard to get everyone together. We decided to take the kids to Utah for the weekend, well it was 4 days, but 4 FUN FILLED days!!! Ha!! :)




We loaded up Thursday morning....can you tell?!! Can you see how full and packed to the ceiling my car is? We even have one of those cargo carriers on top that is full too!! Ha!! :) Part of our trip included taking th kids school shopping. After the car was loaded I was starting to wonder where we were going to put all the PACKAGES!!







O
I love it when the kids fall asleep in the car!!


When we were planning our trip I was talking to a friend telling them what we were doing and she told me she seen this commercial for the Sweet's Candy Factory and that they were giving tours. I wasn't exactly sure that the kids would love it, but I thought it would be cool, so I scheduled one!! So on Thursday, we stopped in Salt Lake and had a tour. We met Bryan's brother and his family there. It was so neat to see how they made all the different treats. And there was lots of sampleing of the different candies they make!! As you can see from our picture, they make you wear these hair covers. And if you have facial hair, they make you cover that too!!!


The kids had a GREAT time!! They thought it was pretty neat to see how everything was made, and watch the machines working!! Thanks Steph, for telling me about this!!

Then of course, after the tour, we had to get some treats to go!!!






That night we went and stayed in Provo at Jason and Katies!!







That night we just ordered pizza and watched a movie!! It's always nice to be able to just sit and relax after a busy day and lots of driving!!
