Heber Creeper and Gateway Discovery

Heber Valley Railroad
We went on a very cold Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Jenson and cousin Daniel.  It was so fun for the kids.  Mckelle said "That was fun, Mommy" as we were getting into the car to go home.  The best part about the whole thing was the pretend hold up they had...I will explain later.
So, the day before we went, I mentioned to Jace that there might be a robbery on the train and he replied (as he usually does) with full faith that "Dad will take care of it"!  This little guy thinks the world of his Dad...he is always making sure I know that Dad can fix anything and can do anything! (it does get a little annoying sometimes, but it is kinda cute, too).
So when it really happened, Jace was so scared and really thought it was real.  It was priceless to see him interact with the situation.  He eventually realized that is was just play and his Dad didn't really need to take care of the situation.
Overall, it was fun...but I wouldn't spend the money to go again...unless my kids had never been on a train ride before.


Gateway Discovery
My kids LOVE this place and have a blast everytime they go.  This time we went with our best friends and spent about 5 hours there.  By the end my kids were EXHAUSTED...but, I think I was more than them!  Here are some of the highlights...

The BALL area
 Brylee and her cuteness!

The CONSTRUCTION Zone

The WATER area

GASSING UP & doing a little SHOPPING at the grocery store

Taking a BREAK & having a SNACK

checking out the HELICOPTER

building with the MAGNETIC SHAPES
 The blocks were at the end of the day and can't you tell how tired these girls look...Mckelle is definitely dazing!

A FEW OTHER CUTE PHOTOS

A little disclaimer...the boys (Tate and Jace) were so busy that I could barely get them to hold still for the few photos I got.  It wasn't because I like Brylee and Mckelle better...but aren't they sure cute!

Sorry so many photos...didn't realize how many I took...but here is one more of my favorite girl...even sporting her OU hat her auntie sent to her!
