Fun Mini Vacation

It was time for the Ercanbrack reunion so we decided to be tourists in Salt Lake for a few days before it. When we got to Little America there were these little plates of goodies... Absolutely Fabulous. Derek and Holly suprised all of us with these very cool treats. Most of us girls headed down to our favorite A-1 nail Spa to get pedicures. It was bliss, being pampered, just sitting there getting a massage and beautiful feet! Next to Rodizeos to celebrate the girls' birthday. It was delicious of course and the girls got a great noisy Brazilian version of Happy Birthday.
The next morning we went to This is the Place Monument it is... WOW! Cam, Mal, and Ty wanted pioneer hats to get in the spirit of thinks

Petting farm, wagon rides, basket weaving, train rides, Brigham Young's summer home though he never lived there just some of his wives, churned butter and horse riding were just a few of the things offered there. When it got to be close to 100 we felt so blessed to be born in this age and headed for our air conditioned cars, shorts and the Children's Museum.

Where we put on a play of the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf. He howled so fiercely. Played in the balls that were a beehive. Built at the construction site, played in the city and farm, rock climbed, got artsy, built inventions, played in the water,visited the helicopter and Hyrums favorite a little place for wee people. He loved this slide and he was determined to get up it after every slide down. It was such a cool place we defiantly will go again!
The next day we hit SEVEN PEAKS for the reunion. I was so busy playing I didn't take many pictures. Derek and Cam went down the yellow slide. They were very brave. Then Bay, Greg and I went down the blue slide. It was breath taking literally. You caught air when you shot out of the tube. Then it ripped a scream from your throat. It was great!
We stayed in Orem at the Hampton then came home on Sunday. Mini Vactions are great, of course I love to just get away and have fun, anywhere!
