On Friday Jake ditched work to come and play.  I remembered when we use to do that once a month. This was the first time of ditching work to come and play in months and month I think.  We planned to go to Snowbird's customer appreciation festival.  The entrance fee was just canned goods for the  local pantry.  So we raided to food storage and gave them lost of our gluten filled foods we are not suppose to eat anymore anyways and got free tram passes at Snowbird.

Now the adventure of the day was fun.  It was fun to be all together.  We packed a great picnic lunch. But the tram left much to be desired.  We have ridden the tram other places and hiked around the ski trails and loved it.  But we rode this tram- with 40 strangers then got off at the top to lots of constructions.  We tried to hike, but there was not really anywhere great to hike.  So we ate some of our lunch getting wind whipped on the dirt and rocks and then rode the tram back.  Our magical fall hike was an illusion.  We went down to the bottom to participate in the kids activities and bounce houses... but all there was was one blow up slide :(  ha!  Well that is okay, Gelato makes everything better.  So we got some gelato and ate it.  And lucky us there was a great bird that kept sneaking our crumbs so we did get to see some wild life after all, he was so quick that picture is all we got.

Then I added a picture of Bethany cuddling her "mousey"  It is actually an ugly spooky rat that is part of the Halloween decorations. But since we put it out she finds it carrys it around, sleeps with it, cuddles it, pets it, calls it "my mousey" and loves it to pieces.  And I think this is hilarious.  And I can't wait until she is older and I can tease her about how much she use to love this ugly rat that was suppose to be a spooky Halloween decoration.  But for now I love, that she sees the good in everything and believes that even ugly rats make best friends.
Also ironic because minutes after this picture was taken there was a cartoon bee drawn in a curious george cartoon on the television and she erupted in tears from fright of the bee and hid under a blanket :)
