Utah trip Part 2

I took way too many pictures while we were there, but here are a few more :)

Rock Canyon Park Frisbee Golfing
The awesome Discovery Park.
Blue Bell Ice Cream!!!!! My FAVORITE (It's a Texan thing) and I don't know why Alyssa has such a goofy smile :)
Bridal Veil Falls


The kids wanted to hike up the mountain along side the waterfall, so we let them go up a little ways. We went up until we saw a snake on a rock...YIKES! IT scared me and Dallin so we went back down :)
We went back to campus to eat at Scoreboard and go to the bookstore. For the kids treat, they got a "Y" donut. It was yummy!
The last night we were there we went to Hee Haw Farms with Aunt Tori and Grandma. The kids had so much farm. There was a little inflatable haunted house that Dallin went through probably 20 times and would punch all the scary things out of the way. Alyssa is normally very scared with Halloween decorations, but she loved it and went through several times.
Alyssa only wanted to look at the animals, but she had fun doing other things like let Aunt Tori hold her.
Dallin and Alyssa rode the train being pulled by a tractor. Alyssa really wanted to go until she got in, and then she started screaming and crying. We still made her go, and she stopped about 1/4 of the way through and loved it.
Dallin sat on all the tractors!
Then we took the hayride around. Alyssa was cold, so she wanted inside my coat:) It was REALLY crowded but fun.
Then we did the corn maze. We decided to let Dallin guide us through without the map. He chose which way we went at all the turns. It ended up taking us an hour to get through. I think Grandma was a little nervous we weren't going to ever get out :) We finally made it to the exit, but with a little help going through the walls :) Dallin thought it was so much fun getting lost in the dark and then getting us to the end.
Then it was time to head back home. We were all sad to leave. We had such a fun time and ate lots of good food. The ride home was a little harder on the kids. The sun was making Dallin mad, and Alyssa cried a lot more because she was done being in the car. We ended up driving just a few miles shy of 3000 in a week. We stopped at a hotel on the way home that had a small waterpark for the kids. They LOVED it. Now we are back home, and getting back into the routine.

Love the pics! Especially the one on the John Deere tractor and the Hee Haw Farms one with all your faces. :) Haven't we stayed at that hotel before? That indoor waterpark looks really familiar...
