Labor Day weekend fun

This post is a little late, but oh well. For Labor Day we went out to Salt Lake with Kit's family. We stayed at the Little America. I haven't stayed there since I was a kid, but Kit's aunt always gets rooms there for cheap on priceline, so we gave it a try. On Saturday we all went to Cowabunga Bay. It was fun, but it was so cold, so we didn't do a lot of the waterslides. After that we went to Boondocks.

Kit and I like to play miniature golf, so we did both of the courses there. I didn't do so hot. That night we ate at the Little America.

The next morning we got up and all of the kids swam. After that we went to Rodizio Grill. At first none of us wanted to go there because we thought it would be alot of money, but Kit's aunt said that lunch there is the same as any where else, so we took her word for it. Kit had never been there. He really liked all the different meats. We gorged ourselves and then had dessert. It was so good. And then the ticket came. For Kit and I to eat is was almost $70. We couldn't believe it. We have never spent that much money on a meal. To be honest, I don't care how good the food is, I don't think it is worth $30 a plate. We found out that on Sundays they serve the dinner menu all day long, so it was dinner price instead of lunch price. I guess now we'll know. We went to the Zoo after that. It was a lot of fun. We got to see a lot of babies, the giraffe, snow leopards, and tiger. The Elephant came out like two days later. We were sad we didn't get to see her. We watched her on tv a few days later and she was so cute.

While we were there, Kit took care of his cousin the entire time. He thinks Kit is the most entertaining person in the world. I had two of kits cousins attached to me the whole time too.

After the Zoo, Kit and I left to come home. We had to pick Koda up from my sisters. She watched her for us because she has a backyard that is all fenced off. Koda ran and played all weekend. When we got there, I picked her up and she fell asleep in my arms. That never happens. She was beat.

The next day we were going to go golfing with my sister Heather and her family, but there was a golf tournament. We went four-wheeling at Yellowstone instead. It was fun. I got to see a lot of things I hadn't seen before.

The Halloween Tree was really weird and kinda creepy. I don't know who would take all of that stuff clear up there to decorate a tree. The tree itself is weird and stands out, but then people go put like a headstone and pumkins and coffins and all this weird stuff on it. You can't see all the stuff very good in the pictures, but if you are ever up that way, take a gander at it.

We were on the trail that leads to the look out over Moon Lake. We got to about the end and there was a fork in the road. None of us had been up there before, so we took the wrong trail. It was Brett and Heather's idea to go that way. We got to the main road and waited for them for a long time. We didn't know where they had went. When they finally got there, we found out they had turned around and went to the lookout. I was so mad because that was what I really wanted to see! Oh well, maybe another time. I was trying to compete with Baily for the dirtiest rider award, but I don't think I was even close!

Overall, it was a very fun and exciting weekend. We usually don't do much, so anything different is always fun.

Koda

We got Koda when she was just 6 weeks old. She was so tiny and I was so worried she would be sad for her mom, but she did so good the first night we had her. She didn't even cry! She's grown so much in size since then.















I just took her in for her first hair cut today. I don't have any pictures yet, but when I do I will post them. I tried to get some befores, but she wouldn't stop moving and my camera died.

She's about 15 months old now and she is sure a pest. I can't walk any where without her grabbing on to my pants with her teeth. A few weeks ago she learned how to jump on the couches, so we would go to the love sac for some peace. Well this week she learned how to jump on there too, so we have no where to go. We love her, though, and like to show her off, so here are some picture.

Life

So, I'm new to this blogging thing and it took me two days to figure out how to put a background on here. Ok, not two whole days. I started yesterday, couldn't figure it out, took a break, tried again today and it clicked! Maybe in a week or two I'll figure out how to put some pictures on here!
I started looking at blogs because Kandice told me it was kind of fun. I figure my life won't be too interesting to read about because I don't have kids or anything to talk about, but it will give me something to do.
Here's what going on with us... We just bought a house two months ago. We're working on getting the yard in. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. We had tons of rocks that we had to get out, then we had to haul in topsoil. We're working on getting it level now. We hope to get a sprinkler system put in by the end of summer. I'm trying to decide what to do with all of the space. Here are some of our options: a volleyball/badmitton spot, a basketball court, and a dog run. We are definately putting in a garden, a spot for a swing set some day, a big shop, some mounds, and a large patio for barbecues.
We just finished up softball for the summer and I've never been so happy. We were driving to Vernal at least twice a week. Usually we had two cars and got home about 11. I get up at 5:30 for work, so it hasn't been too much fun. Kit is sad that it is over, but I will find something else to keep him busy.
I'm hoping that we find something exciting to do so I can write about it on here. We'll see how it goes.
