Fall break was supposed to be spent with my Dad in Heber, but unfortunately that did not happen. My Dad came down with a UTI a few days before that. He ended up being delirious and mad at me. I was told I could never go to his house again. So that pretty much ruined our fall break plans. It was very sad, and I cried. Last year we were supposed to go to St. George, but we had to cancel because we had to pay for car repairs. We ended up going to Heber, and I was grateful for the time I got to spend with my mom and dad. This year we were supposed to go to Heber, and that was ruined, and what a crazy turn of events! General Conference weekend was so nice with my Dad. I was looking forward to another weekend with him.
We started off fall break morning talking to James on his P-day. I will post the picture in a different post. We went to Boondocks for some fun with our GetOutPass. We enjoyed go-karts and mini golf.
One of these times, I will be able to take the girls on a getaway to St. George or somewhere fun for fall break while the boys hunt. Until then, we decided to take some pictures along the mini golf course to make it look like we had actually gone somewhere fun and cool. Here we are in a cave.
Then we went to this cool garden.
After we visited this cool waterfall.
Then we stumbled across a cool cave.

We had a good time together.
The boys went hunting on Friday. The girls and I had a day at home and they hung out with friends. Saturday morning Lynnlee was scheduled to take the ACT at Alta High School. I dropped her off since she hadn't driven there before. With test nerves, I thought it would be easier if I drove her. The problem is that she forgot her license in my car and I had her phone. She tried calling me but my phone blocks unknowns callers. It was a sad, sad morning. She didn't know to text me instead. By the time she text me, she had missed the test and it took Sienna and I a while to get to her and pick her up. Ugh, I can still feel the pit in my stomach that I had that morning when I found out she didn't get to take it. So many could of, should of, and would of. Thankfully we had plans for after so we could get our minds off of it and move on. We parked at City Creek Mall. We walked around Temple Square and in the new visitors centers. Everything was so nice and so beautiful!
Then we walked around City Creek Mall. We had lunch at the food court.
We stopped at Garden Park Ward because I wanted to walk around the grounds and show the girls. They remember it a little, but it's been a while, so it was fun to see it again. It is still well maintained and beautiful. We finished the day going to Outlets at Traverse Mountain. The girls each picked out some sweaters for fall and winter.
That night we watched a movie and hung out.
Sunday we went to our ward and then to Grandma Lowry's for dinner. The boys took a break from hunting and were there so we met up.
Monday we had lunch at Costco and then scootered from our house, to North Lake Park, rode the trail to the new marina and then back home. It was a 5 1/2 mile ride. It was so fun!
Sienna opted to rollerblade. We stopped at the swing for a break on our way home. The weather was perfect because it was overcast. If it had been sunny, it would have felt too hot.
We made the most out of fall break. Next year I will be out of school and have a real job (hopefully). It would be really awesome if I could take my girls to San Diego or at least St. George.
