Fall Break started on a Wednesday. In fact, the very Wednesday that we received our package in the mail. (Great way to start the fun). We decided we needed to do some fun things for the break. It's not easy to think of fun things to do when:
1.) You aren't familiar with the area
and 2.) You don't yet have any friends.
So, we had to improvise. Here is a lot of pictures of the things we accomplished during the 6 day break:
We did some art. We used recycle goods to make bats!
Once the bats were made, instead of hanging them up from the trees outside as planned... we played indoor soccer with them. I'm thinking that was even more fun.
We explored the canyon. Look at those colors! I love seeing the autumn leaves!
We walked to the only store in town and bought ice cream!
We played at the park... a lot!
On Saturday, we went up "north" to do our supplies shopping. We decided to make it a fun day, so we left early and stopped at Thanksgiving Point to check out a museum that my awesome cousin, Liz, told me about. "The Museum of Natural Curiosity". Thanks to our passes to the Science Center (which we won't be visiting any time soon) we were able to get into the Museum for free. It was really neat. Here are a few pictures.
Brandon was brave and took 3 young kids into a pitch black tunnel. They didn't like it too much... but they did it. And I watched from outside.
In case you were wondering... this is how much the ENTIRE Smithson family weighs. We all got on together.
Sunday was our first opportunity to visit church. Until then, it had been conferences and more conferences. It was nice to sit in regular meetings. The children still haven't had a regular Sunday, as they have been practicing for the primary program, but at least they got to meet some more kids!
It was a fun Fall Break!
