Stay-cation

Brad was out of school for UEA break. We had originally planned to go camping for the weekended. We have been so busy and crazy that we decided to forgo the packing up and have a stay-cation. First on the list was Hill Aerospace Museum.



I wish we could have captured Brad's reaction on video when we pulled up and he saw the airplanes. It was so funny. He was blown away by the BIG airplanes. I have never been there and I have to admit I was a bit taken back as well. After the initial reaction Brad ran from airplane to airplane taking it all in. It was the fastest museum trip I have ever had.




Brad loved the airplanes with paintings on the side. Maybe in a few years he will be more impressed with the engines than the paint.


On Friday we invited our friends the Heaps to go fishing with us. We lived next door to them when we lived in the duplex. Brad was so excited to see Landon. They used to play for hours in our old back yard.

We packed a lunch and drove to Tony's Grove. It was so beautiful quiet and peaceful...until we arrived with a carload of kids....and a dog. We didn't catch anything because we were so chaotic but we had a TON of fun.



















On the way home we drove through Logan Canyon to try to scope out some good camping spots for next year. I didn't realize there was so much land off the main canyon road. We hit the jackpot. There were tons of great places to camp.

We stopped by Old Ephraim's grave. Ephriam is an almost 10 foot bear that was hunted for years in Logan.



Brad got a kick out of it but Claire was a bit freaked out that someone killed that poor bear. She is a girl inside and out.

The rest of the weekend we spent working in the yard and playing catch up. It was the perfect stay-cation.
