Weekend Getaway!

It seems like this is one of the most crazy and busiest times of the year for us, especially Adam at work. I guess Labor Day weekend is considered the last nice weather break/vacation time before Mr. Winter rolls in. Adam and I had been discussing what to do with our three day weekend. We decided a trip to Logan would be a fun place to go. Friday while all the kids were in school I packed bags and loaded them in the car. We hadn't said anything to the girls about going anywhere because I wanted it to be a surprise! After Adam came home from work, we loaded in the car and headed out. As you can imagine they all asked multiple times where we were going. We told them that we were going to enjoy a nice long drive together and maybe find something fun to do. ;)  Kourtney and Kaitlyn are not quite fond of just driving around. Kourtney said if she would have known that we were just going to drive around then she would have rather just stayed home. :) After a while, Kourtney peaked over the back seat and saw the luggage. She had a huge grin as she asked  why we had bags in the car . :) All the girls started giggling because NOW they knew there was a purpose for the long car ride! We stayed at the Crystal Inn in Logan. The girls enjoyed the pool as well as everyone else there. :) The next morning Adam took off for the Logan Temple, and I went to the pool with the girls. The day before on our way to Logan I realized I had forgotten my recommend and remembered my brother and sister-in-law were driving to Tremonton the next morning. They saved me! My sister-in-law went to the house and they brought it with them! I owe them BIG! After Adam returned, it was my turn to attend the temple. Adam and the girls walked around the temple grounds while I was inside. It was such a beautiful day! It was a popular day for sealings, as the girls were able to see several girls in beautiful wedding gowns. To my surprise, I saw a car back into another car which totally cave the back end in. It was awesome to see both parties get out of their cars and shake hands. It was the most calm accident I have ever witnessed. ;) We headed back home and on our way, stopped at the Bountiful Temple. Adam and I took turns staying with the girls while the other one went inside. I loved walking around the temple grounds and talking with the girls. We sat on the grass in the shade and watched three beautiful brides take pictures with their husbands. I absolutely love the feeling I get when I am in the temple and am grateful that the feeling can be felt outside as well. We commented how peaceful and calm we felt sitting on the grass admiring the beauty that surrounded us! Fun weekend, spent with those I love!
