Pure luck!

I dropped Brandon off at work thinking that it would be 5 longs days until he would be home again with us. But to my surprise he called me about 1/2 hour after I dropped him off and told me that he was going to Denver for the night and they he was TDY'ed (sent somewhere to sit in a hotel "on call") to SLC for the next two days. HECK YES! That means the kids and I get to go stay at the hotel with him and get a mini vacation out of it! we stayed here... and it was AMAZING! Brandon had to just be within 2 hours of the airport incase he got called so we decided to do some fun things as a family while we waited. Fortunately he never got called the whole 2 days that we were there and we had a great time!


On Saturday the girls went to a friends birthday at Boondocks and had tons of fun! They wanted to take Brandon back to check it out. So we went and the first thing the girls wanted to do was the water bumper boats. And then we played and played for 2 1/2 hours. I didn't take my camera or phone in so I didn't get any pictures. I'm a little sad about it...

We ate dinner at the Mayan. It was yummy and the divers were awesome! Averie loved watching them but Kaylie was scared. I think because it's dark in there and they were diving from so high up.



We could see the State Capital from our Hotel window and the kids kept asking about it so Brandon took us on a drive up the hill to show the girls. When we got up there we decided to get out and "tour" around. It was such a nice beautiful day to do this. Across from the capital we found this trail that went down the side of the mountain so we walked down it and it lead to this beautiful park that was closed off to traffic but people were exercising, walking dogs, having picnics and so much more. It had a river running through it and some old statues.


Lunch at Hires BIG H! We love this fast food restaurant and there is not one around here so we had to go while we were in SLC!
