It was just three weeks ago, but felt like three months ago, that Nate was sent to Idaho to fight a forest fire. It was a long two weeks without him, we missed him like crazy and hated him being gone! But while he was away we stayed very (very) busy! We headed to Tooele to hang out with Mimi and Papa which turned out to be a great adventure! We went to museums, the library, parks, water slides, and much more! It wasn't all playtime and fun however...the kids really worked hard on school work, practicing the piano, and projects! During these two weeks without Nate the kids and I took video clips of the fun things we did. Then we made them into a movie (click the link at the bottom of the screen to watch the movie on youtube!) Here are just a few pictures I took but the movie captures most of the adventure!
On pioneer day we walked across the street and went to the Pioneer museum.
My kids got a kick out of the outhouse...
...especially when they opened the door to find someone sitting on the pot!
The boys checking out the gigantic 'Mormon Crkckets'! Nasty!
We took a tour of some pioneer houses.
One day we went to the Children's Museum at the Gateway.
The kids loved putting on dress up clothes and performing on stage!
We went to Liberty Park one day and fed the ducks, went to Tracy Aviary, had a picnic and played with our cousins!
I must say we survived our time away from Nate and grateful he would work so hard for his family! We are thankful for Mimi and Papa for taking such good care of us while he was away!!
