Fall Break 2015

Jeremy challenged the boys to train and beat one of his office teams in the triathlon that we participated in this summer.  The boys trained and our family team ended up beating one of the office teams.  The prize was a nice get away in the mountains of Midway during fall break.  We had a great time together as a family making memories.  The first thing we did was go on a Razor ride through the fall filled mountains.

 Kayden and Josh rode in with Jeremy and I in one Razor while McKay (who is a licensed driver) followed us in another Razor.

 The mountains were full of color and beauty!

 This was one of my favorite views!

My boys having a great time--even when mom makes them stop for a picture.

We rode through many mountain streams.  McKay and Jaxon decided to go as fast as they could through one stream:

I love the look on their face after they come through the water!  A little shock and ah!

 Kayden got a turn to ride in the front. He thought it was pretty fun and wished he could have ridden there longer.

 Josh liked the front too when it was his turn.

 After an afternoon of Razor riding, we went back to our hotel for some swimming.  Then we went to dinner and got shakes in town.  We stayed up late playing games and eating treats having a great time.

The next day we got some breakfast/brunch at The Blue Boar Inn which was very tasty.  We then drove our car to Cascade Springs and walked along the falls.  It was beautiful.  Pictures below courtesy of Josh:

 The best family ever--including the photographer!

After we walked around the springs, we drove through the canyon to a movie theater where we watched Goosebumps.  We enjoyed the movie!  We met up with Uncle Paul's family at Grandma's house and tailgated at the BYU game.  (Now you know why we were all decked out in BYU shirts at Cascade Springs.)  We enjoyed visiting and playing catch with the football before the game.  We had a great time together at the game with each other.  We got home late and was able to sleep in the next day.  What a quick, enjoyable, fun trip!
