Fall Activities

We've done a few family activities of late, trying to get out and enjoy the fall weather.

Some friends of ours went on the Heber Creeper (Heber Valley Railroad) and we jumped on board and tried it too.

The idea behind it was fun... the kids were super excited about seeing and riding on a real train!

The excitement lasted about 30 minutes. It was fun to watch the landscape go by out the window, and Ty spotted 4 deer running closeby.

About halfway through the trip it got dark, everyone got hungry and tired, and everyone had to go potty simultaneously. That combined with staying seated in cramped quarters made for an interesting trip, but it was worth the memories!

Over fall break we stayed home and enjoyed a real break from the rat race of life. By Monday I thought the kids needed a fun outing, so we went to Gardener Village and enjoyed the Witch Hunt.

We found all of them and turned our papers in at the end for a discounted cookie. $1.45 round trip... now that's my kind of fun outing!

Our favorite fall tradition is BOO-ing! Our kids brought it up the 1st of October and wouldn't let us forget! So for family night we baked up some treats, donned our black gear, and BOO-ed some friends. The kids think it is so fun to run around in the dark, and at the last house they got their fair share of running! The neighbors came out to find the culprit and a chase ensued! Now we know who not to try next time... Or at least that we need a better get-away plan! ;)

Happy face, silly face...Good times.
