Labor Day
We didn't have any big plans for Labor Day, but since Blake didn't have to work we wanted to do something. So we took the kids and their bikes over to Wetlands park and went for a ride.
It was great for Ben since he gets a little scared riding his bike around our house with all the hills. And since it was a cloudy day it was much cooler, which made it a great day to be outside!

Hiking
This weekend we went hiking. It was something we tried to do the weekend before school started. We got halfway up the mountain and the car started smoking, never a good sign. So we decided we better play it safe and turned around. We took it in to get fixed and I was without a car the first week of school (good thing we live so close).
It turned out to be a great day for hiking, it was overcast and so not very hot. In fact, at Mt. Charleston it was cooler than inside my house.
We hiked the Mary Jane Falls trail so we could see the waterfall. It's not a big waterfall, but still very cool.
Even Devri seemed to enjoy herself. Lucky her, she got to sleep all the way down the trail.
Can't wait til our next adventure!

First day of school!
Here are Kierstyn and Bentley after the first day of school. They were most excited about getting to wear their new shoes, but I think they were excited anyway.
Kierstyn really likes her new teacher and has a few friends in her class, so far she thinks all the work is easy. Boy, it would be nice if it stayed that way.
Ben, doesn't know anyone in his class this year so he will get to meet new friends. He told me his teacher was "medium" which means she is nice sometimes and mean sometimes. Sounds perfect to me.
End of Summer
Okay, summer just went by way to fast. We had so many activities we didn't get to and mostly because I just ran out of energy. With the high temperatures and school shopping, I didn't want to take on much more. But we did finish up swimming lessons, hit the children's museum and the Bass Pro Shop, finished up our library reading program (Hooray!!!) and completed all our back to school shopping.
We made Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles and they were yummy!! This is going on the bucket list for next summer.
And we played in the backyard. Devri loved the swimming pool. While Kierstyn and Ben loved the slip n slide and the sprinkler. They made themselves a Wipe Out course and had alot of fun doing it. Next year we'll do this in Idaho with a bigger back yard!
Farewell to summer, too bad the summer temperature hasn't gone away yet.

Passing through
On our way home from Idaho, we stopped and did a few things in Salt Lake. First we went to the Discovery Gateway Museum. I found out that if you have a pass to the Childrens Museum in Las Vegas, it also gets you into the Discovery Gateway. We had never been there and thought we would check it out. It was well worth it!
This was Kierstyn and Bentley pretending to be helicopter pilots. Now Kierstyn keeps asking me when we can go on a real helicopter ride.
Even Devri, had a great time, at least until she got tired. They had a toddler area that she thought was great.
Kierstyn trying on the bird costume. They really liked dressing up and playing on the stage.
Another fun area was the construction zone, where you can build or destroy.
And their favorite, the grocery store. I don't know why but they love to go pretend grocery shopping and have one of them be the checker. This was our last stop, and they would have stayed alot longer if Devri wasn't so tired.
We also went to the Hogle Zoo. My kids love the zoo and this was our first opportunity to go to a zoo this year.
They were featuring Zoorassic Park and had dinosaurs located throughout the zoo. They loved this one because is would squirt water at them.
Almost brave enough to touch a dinosaur, but not really!
They love the playground at the zoo. We saved this for last because it is by the train which they wanted to ride right before leaving.
We had a great time on our way home!!
