Midway

I am soo proud of myself, I figured out the slide show thingy all by myself!!! So as you can see from the my FAB slide show we had a pretty down to earth / no-frills getaway. It was great!!

We went to the smallest bowling alley we have ever seen (in Heber)! The place was so old that the lanes weren't exactly level and the balls had gouges out of them. So much for our highly competitive intense game of bowling, sheesh!!

The kids (and that includes Brad) LOVED the Murphy bed that was in our condo. They took turns folding each other into the wall and laughing!! I am telling you, you have to be pretty desperate to find this all as funny as they seemed to! :)

We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner at the Inn on the Creek. It was great to dine with Heather & Joe (and girlies), and Andrea & Ryck (and girlies). It was soooo nice to just go eat and not worry about shopping, cooking, or cleaning. We wont do this every year, but for sure will add it to the rotation. After dinner Myles took Grace and Jane up to the Santa sleigh for a few pictures. Grace loved it, while Jane wasn't as keen on the whole idea. I am sure the management wanted to come out and tell us to take a hike. But seeing as we just paid a kidney and liver for dinner, they were smart enough to let us have our fun with the sleigh!!

The condo we stayed in was very cozy. The kids loved the craters, ping pong, pool, hot tub..... Brad and I loved that they had their own room! :)

One night while on the way to the pool we saw a deer walking through the parking lot. So Brad snagged the camera and took off like he worked for National Geographic! We finally followed after him in the car. He had followed the deer to the golf course at the Homestead and there were over a dozen deer on the green just chillin'. It was too cool! It was just getting dark, so the pictures didn't turn out too hot, but it was awesome to see.

Friday night Andrew, Kelly, and Eric came up to play games and go swimming. It was great to hang out with them for a while. So thanks for making the drive guys!!
