Paul and I planned to go to Utah for labor Day weekend, Paul's preceptor told him he had the weekend off so we thought we were good to go. But then some stuff came up at work and Paul was not sure were would be able to, so I stopped packing and began sulking around. I was pretty bummed because I was really looking foward to the cooler weather, seeing family and going to Swiss Days. At about 4:30 on Friday afternoon Paul called me and told me we could go, so I frantically started packing and trying to get us ready to leave in an hour. We left around 6 pm and made it to Midway Utah at about 1:30 am, not bad time at all. Leila slept most of the way and when we pulled in she woke up and didn't want to go back to sleep, luckily my mom layed down with her so we could get some sleep.
On Saturday morning I got up and ran, it was so nice to be in cool weather with gorgeous scenery but it was so hard to run at such a high altitude. Plus my parents house is at the top of a hill that is about 1 mile long so at the end of every run I had to run up that hill. Later that morning Paul's mom came up to Midway and we all went to Swiss Days. We enjoyed yummy food (Swiss ham and cheese sandwhiches), entertainment and fun booths to look at. Later that night we ordered pizza and just hung out with my family.
My mom dropped us off at swiss days but we decided to walk home for some exercise, Leila was so exhausted that she fell asleep on her daddy's shoulders
My parents have been working on putting the yard in their new house so they had rented a little back hoe. My kids loved it and thought it was so fun to play in.
Enjoying the evening outside!

On Sunday we decided to go for a drive and headed up Snake Creek Canyon. We played in the creek and just enjoyed being outside, it was fun to see all the leaves beginning to change.
After we left the creek we stopped by the playground and pond. I was busy helping Leila get her shoes on and get out of the car and when I walked over to the grass this is how I found Paul and Greydon. Paul said he just crawled up on him and laid down, even after I took the picture Greydon stayed there for probably another 5 minutes.
Leila was in heaven being able to play on a playground, it has been months since we have been to the park (way too hot).

Sunday evening Paul and I were able to sit out on the back porch and just enjoy the evening and cool weather. It was wonderful to put on sweats and wrap a blanket around us.
On Monday we headed down to the valley to hang out with some of our friends. We met for lunch at Draper park. It was a beautiful day and so much fun seeing our friends. We miss you guys like crazy and miss hanging out like every weekend. I didn't get a whole group shot but did get one with the guys and some of the kids.
Spencer, June, Colin, Paul, Seth and Zoey
Leila playing with Mia. I'm always surprised that these kids will go forever without seeing each other but always remember each other and just pick up playing where they left off.
Greydon loved crawling/walking around the playground and was making new little friends left and right
We had such a great trip, sometimes I enjoy the really quick trips better because I feel like I get more done and see more people then when I have several weeks.

I didn't know you were in Midway the same weekend as us!! I wonder if we passed each other at Swiss Days and didn't even notice. haha Those ham and swiss sandwiches were way good, huh. Lots of butter on the bread. :)
I'm glad you guys had fun! Hopefully we'll see you soon.
