Tumbling, Fishing and Being Silly

My little monster mouths. The kids got these from the treasure box after family home evening. It helps them sit quietly through our lessons knowing that there is a reward like this at the end.

Paisley took a sample tumbling class this week as you can see from the videos she had a great time and was overly confident. I just can't justify spending $36 a month for her to jump around to animal songs and learn about colors for one hour each week. The teacher never taught them technique or anything really she would just read stories and say, "Go jump on that" or "roll down this". At least it was free.

After that we went to Day Farms and picked pumpkins. Then a big rain storm came and we had to jump in the car. Nothing funner than pumpkins and rain storms. I love autumn.

I've been making some more yummy meals and they are all featured on my recipe blog http://cookwithlindsey.blogspot.com/

Me and Gabe went fishing with my dad at East Canyon. I have never caught a fish before and have taken myself fishing three times now. My dad didn't think we would catch much because we went later in the day. To everyone's surprise we hooked 18 fish in 4 hours. Seven of our fish got away when we tried to net them. It was about a fish every 10 minutes. Sometimes we'd catch one before we had even cast all the line into the water. It was a great day for fishing and my favorite memory with my dad. We had a pic-nic on the boat and Gabe loved it.

Our Week

Yes, marshmallows can fit in many places. Gabe started tumbling this week. He did so good. He was the only one in the Saturday class so he gets private lessons. His teacher said that he is confident Gabe will move up to the advanced class of 5 and 6 year olds in a few weeks. Gabe is only 4. Paisley starts a tumbling class next week. She has already been practicing.

Today is Opa's 60th birthday and cousin Tanner's birthday. Happy Birthday Opa and Tanner!!!!!!

Family Vacation in Park City

We spent the week at a condo in Park City. This was such a fun vacation that we will always remember. We had a free timeshare that was a gift from my mom last Christmas. Because there was so many problem with our room, they upgraded us to a way nicer resort and room.

The Alpine slide and coaster were so much fun. We scored $90 worth of free rides because a family had purchased tickets and then they had to leave, they kindly walked up to us and gave us their tickets.

We got to watch the ski jumpers practice their tricks at Olympic Park. We hit the outlets during a 50% off sale. All the stores were having the sale and we got a lot and saved a lot. We found so many things we have been looking for, for months within one day.

We explored Main St during a heavy rain storm and were asked by a film crew from BYU to participate in a documentary they were filming about culture and family life. Manuel didn't want to be on film so me and the kids were. You might see my interview on channel 11. How random was that?

We went to Midway and ate at the best Mexican restaurant in Utah, Tarahmarah. We had barbacoa lamb tacos that came with a salad with passion fruit salad dressing. They have an amazing salsa bar with over 20 different salsas, and homemade pastries and spudnut donuts. Also, the best homemade french fries I have ever had. We visited the crater and the Zermatt where we played miniature golf and poor Gabe was stung by a wasp for the 3rd time in the last 2 years. We met up with my sister and her family at the park for a few minutes. We have enjoyed spending time at the pool and hot tub and making yummy meals in our condo and just hanging out. What a fun vacation!!
