COLLECTIVE SOUL CONCERT

We love the band Collective Soul! They played in Wendover this last weekend and we saw this as a night out with out kids!! We went with Quinn's brother Troy & his wife Erin. It was a great concert & we had a lot of fun. Thanks to G-pa & G-ma Beardall for watching the kids for us. The last picture is a picture of our suite at the Peppermill. The picture does not do it justice... it was as big as my house! The bathroom was the size of my bedroom & bathroom put together. Thanks to Quinn's friend Rich for getting it for us, he spends a little time down there so they comped it for him but he was heading home so he told us we could use it!! So thanks Rich! Erin and I got to enjoy the room more than me and Quinn because the boys went down to gamble so we stayed in the room & girl talked!

Our cool room!

ZOO

My friend Laurie & I decided to enjoy the last days of summer so we took the kids to the Zoo. They had so much fun! Peyton loved the animals so much & would get so excited if she would see one until I put her up close to one that she thought was real. Hence the picture below... she just started bawling! It was kind of funny!

Caleb on the spraying elephant. I thought it would be colder up there so I dressed him in long sleeves and pants & it was not at all so he was sooo HOT that he stood in front of this elephant to get wet & cool off. Sorry buddy!!

Here is Peyton with her best friend the Tiger!

Hailey & Caleb at the giraffes! I am still kind of new to this blogging thing & I do not know how to flip the picture! So sorry

Peyton & Caleb on the train!

LABOR DAY FUN

On Labor Day we decided to go up to Rockport with our friends Evert & Keri & go fishing. The kids loved it so much but by this time (3:00 P.M.) little Peyton had not had a nap for the day so we decided to drive up the Mirror Lake Highway to get her a nap. While we were driving we found this fun little campground that we could roast marshmellows & it had ATV trails to ride on. We all went on hikes, rode 4-wheelers & roasted marshmellows. As we started to make dinner an absolute downpour of rain came so we camped out in the 4-wheeler trailer for about an hour but we still had so much fun,(a little cold) but the kids loved it. We have the most amazing mountains in Utah! We were sitting around the fire & the park ranger showed up & told us last week they spotted a bear in the EXACT spot we were at(YIKES)so he told us to not have any food out & taught us how to scare the bear away if he did return. Needless to say that was my sign to get out of there so we packed up & headed home.
