Family Weekend

Over Labor Day weekend we had a great family weekend! We started the weekend off with a trip to Focus on the Family so the boys could play. Nolan loved the play area and climbed everything in the room all by himself - he is a little monkey when it comes to climbing! Tyler was excited to go down the big slide, and Carter was once again sad that he couldn't go. He has been feeling left out a lot lately I think (not getting to go to Kindergarten, etc) so we told him he would get to pick out something for Sunday. When we got back from Focus, the big boys and I went to a pottery store where they each got to pick out a piece and paint it. Tyler picked a plane and Carter picked a robot. They both had a great time with it and did great jobs painting.
On Sunday  morning we went to the balloon festival. We had never gone in the morning and the boys seemed to enjoy watching them lift off. After that we had a nice breakfast put. That afternoon, we took a family hike. We told Carter he could pick where we would hike. He wanted to go to Yellowstone, so we compromised on a park closer to Yellowstone - Fox Run. The boys all had a great job on the hike and then walking around the lake. They were tired on the way back but they both finished strong, running to the car at the end, Nolan seemed to enjoy riding in the backpack with Justin and Olivia slept in the front pack on me the entire walk.  We mostly spent the day at home on Monday, enjoying the extra day together. It was a great weekend!
