I've been needing to caught up on some things. The pictures are not in a very good order. It is starting from most recent to just before Halloween stuff.
So last weekend I went with my mother to Salt Lake City for a convention and doctors appointment that she had. We had lots of fun. It was really cold that weekend but the girls managed to do some things they really enjoyed.
This is at the very end of the trip right when we got the kids in the car ready for our 5 1/2 hour drive back to Boise.
I wanted to snap a picture of the hotel before we left. It was really pretty there. It is called The Perry Hotel and it was built in 1910. Very old antique beauty. They tried bringing the vintage charm and did a good job I think.
I took this picture on the train as we waited for our stop. It is nice that it is free to go about downtown. The parking garage where we parked was to far from the Gateway Mall where we went. I don't know why I didn't park closer but I just get so flustered in downtown areas with all the one way streets and trying to find where I'm going, I just give up. This was on our way back to the parking garage.
So to take up loads of time that we would have just by ourselves, I took the girls to the Kids Discovery Center. It was great, except for the price. It was $8.50 per child and adult, now come on the adults just stand there. they don't play, they sit and it is still $8.50. It would have cost us 26 something but on a visit to another hotel I found coupons that were $2 off and I got three of those. So it was only $20.
We spent almost 4 hours here. I hung around while Lilly was in heaven, running to the house just her size with all the normal things in kid size. Then there was a smaller kid area that Miah enjoyed, especially the water area where they could make little balls float down. She did get wet. Lilly also loved the kid size grocery store. Set up just like a normal grocery store where they could fill up their carts with play food and have a blast.
Miah took a turn in the Police car, very fitting for daddy.
This was Lilly and Miah in the bottom one waiting for the train. This was right before a snow storm hit. When we got off the train at the Gateway was exactly when it got back. We had to walk with our heads down barely able to see, trying to get to a place to eat before the Discovery center. Miah and Lilly's hands were freezing cold and they were crying having to go through that.
Hanging around the temple.
In the hall way next to our room.
This was our hotel room. It was pretty and roomy for the kids. The beds were very nice with down pillows and posture pedique mattresses. It did not help that Miah took a crayon and wrote scribbles all of the comforter. They made some big messes there.
This was Halloween at Grandma H's. Lilly got into Grandmas jewelry in the top photo. That is her favorite thing.
We always have to get a group pic of the family with the costumes. Jeremy was a scary Mime, Molly was a cat and there little baby was the mouse. I was nothing, Miah was a princess, Lilly a witch, Cameron batman, Thomas was Mario, Lizzy was an angel, and Grandma was a cat.
Daddy helped Miah out alot by holding her while walking to each house. Just too much walking for that little squirt.
This is when we first started the trick or treating. The kids were very enthusiastic.
A random day snapping a picture with my baby girl.
Camerons birthday party turned out well. We played hide and go seek in the dark, Simon says and something else that I cannot remember. Then we has cake and ice cream, which the kids only ate the ice cream even though I worried all day over getting it finished and actually didn't finish it until the kids ate their pizza during the party. I should have left more time for decorating but I had too many things to do during the day.
Look at those crazy boys. They were very funny.
Like I said, I didn't have a lot of time to decorate.
This was the night before Jeff hand to leave for the MTC. He is looking so much older I can't believe it. Cameron will be 8 around the time he gets back. It is weird to think of Cameron being that old.
Another group pic. I look funny, I guess my hair did not look as cute as I thought it did.
This was Miah at the Discovery Center. They has this ball area and she would lift up the door to it and pop a ball inside with air blowing really fast in her face. She is working on the sharing thing.
