Fall Family Outing

This past weekend we spent the entire day on Saturday out at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. We started off the day at their display gardens. It was the perfect time of year to go. We saw maybe 10 other people the entire morning, the roses were still in full bloom (they love warm sunny days and cool nights), and the trees were all in full color. The girls had a great time feeding Koi in the lake, smelling roses, racing to the top of the "lookout hill", playing princess in the Italian garden, and exploring the secret garden. There was so much room to roam that we definitely strayed off the path to kick up some leaves.

After lunch, we headed over to "Farm Country" for some animal petting. The girls were completely captivated by the goats who would lick and nibble the corn right out of their hands. They were interested in the peacocks and the rabbits, but nothing could top the pony ride. Two times each just wasn't enough. After looking at all the animals, we decided to head over to the Fall festival in the field next door. Cornbelly's had a huge hay stack with slides, a giant "air pillow", cow train, and pig races. It was a great time. Steph and I even ventured into the Creature, but it was a bit too scary for the girls inside (loud noises) even in the daylight. Didn't even try the corn maze -- too big for a stroller.

After a great day, we had to finish up with a McDonald's run. We were all pretty tired and the girls were asleep before we got home.

To finish up the night, we caught the highlights of the BYU vs San Diego State game on TV. Awesome! 4-2! Go Cougars!!
