Labor Day Weekend!!

Labor Day weekend was GREAT!!! My family had planned a vacation but it didn't work out. I decided since I have already requested the time off that my little family was going to do something!

I left work early Friday and headed to park city with Russell. We left Dallas home with my mom, so Russell and I could have some time alone. On the way there Russell saved us from a 4 car pile up!! We were cruising along in the middle lane and the left lane started to slow down and then all of a sudden we heard screeching tires and cars were diverting every which way!! Russ jerked the car over off to the median and got us the heck out of there. He was so calm like it was no big deal while I was freaking out!!! Not five minutes later we heard them report it on the radio! We finally get to the hotel, get checked in and head to dinner. We went to Ruby Tuesdays which was tasty!! We spent the rest of our night just watching movies and hanging out in the hot tub. The next morning is when the fun started for me, we headed to the outlets! We all know how much Russell LOVES shopping!! We got tons of AMAZING deals, and we still brought money home! The rest of Saturday afternoon we spent at home.

Saturday night we got invited to go up to White River to camp with Nick & Felicia. We always LOVE camping, and got ready in record time!! Dallas LOVES camping because he can get as dirty as he wants! We spent the night hanging out by the camp fire. The next morning we ate breakfast and headed down the canyon. Dallas was not to happy about heading home or being in the car for another 3 hours, but he did great!

Monday we started the day by picking corn to freeze. We didn't get as much as we wanted but I think there is PLENTY!! After picking the corn we came home to get ready for the Zoo, I have been wanting to take Dallas for a long time now, and there never seemed to be a good day, so I planned Monday since most everyone had the day off! Dallas LOVED it!! He would cry when we would put him in the wagon to go to another animal. He would yell, "Whats that??" and proceed to talk to them. I think his favorites were the penguins and the giraffes on account of he spent the longest talking to them. He loved the merry-go-round and the train. We had a lot of fun and I will be for sure taking him again. Here are a few pictures from the zoo!!
