Labor Day Weekend

It was a long fun-filled Labor Day Weekend for us. We left home Thursday night and made it to Fillmore. We got there kind of late, but the kids were able to spend a little time playing with their cousins before it was bedtime for them all.
Friday morning we got up and got ready. Grandma made pancakes so the kids were really happy. They spent a few more minutes with cousins before they had to get on the bus and then we left and traveled on up north.
First stop Thanksgiving point to visit the Museum of Ancient Life and check into our motel.







I think the kids enjoyed it. We went to this museum when Tanner was about 4 and Chloe was about Bryce's age.
After that we ate some lunch and headed to Tanner's first two ball games. His team did alright they lost one and won one. Tanner was kind of having an off day on his hitting though. After the games we went back to the motel and went for a late night swim.
The next morning we got up and headed back to the ball park for his second two games. He was hitting and made a nice catch in left during these two games. The once again won one and lost one. The bad news during the first game he got hit with a pitch in the knee. During the break between the two while we were at lunch he iced it and took some ibuprofen cause it was starting to swell up. Back to the second game we go and guess what he gets beamed in the same spot with a fast pitch that was seriously probably going about 80 mph-well he made it to first and then was out for the rest of the game. Poor Kid was hobbling around pretty badly for the next two days.







After the games we went to the mall for like three hours and did a little shopping. Chloe had saved her money for a trip to build a bear and Tanner had some birthday money that he wanted to spend-he ended up buying some new Air Jordan Shoes. He loves shoes almost as much as he loves socks :)
After our little shopping excursion we loaded up and headed back to Flowell.
We spent all day Sunday and most of Monday just relaxing and hanging out at Landon's parents house in Flowell. We went to church and had Landon's Grandma and brother over for Sunday dinner. We watched a couple of movies, went on a few rides to see the horses, and picked some produce from the garden. The kids had a blast riding the four wheeler around. Saydee and Gavin came down to play for a few hours on Monday before it was time for us to load up and travel back to reality. School and work came early the next morning.
