Weekend getaways

This summer we were lucky enough to have a couple weekend getaways, we first went to Leavenworth with Carl's cousins Enoch and Amanda. The guys wanted to go somewhere and golf so that was the placed we all agreed on. We stayed in a great condo for 2 nights, the boys got to go golfing and Amanda and I got to have a massage which ended up to be the best message I think that I have ever had, It was so amazing. While the boys where out golfing Amanda and I thought that we would go look around town since there are so many cute shops there, we quickly realized though that it would be next to impossible to do with two little helpers. Tory and Malachi wanted to touch everything. Later we did get to go back in to town just us girls and go to a wonderful chocolate shop. There chocolates are homemade by the wife of the gentleman working in the shop, they where so yummy.





Just outside of Leavenworth there is a petting zoo that we stopped at everyone had so much fun feeding the animals, especially Carl.






Some peacocks strutting their stuff








Little buddies


Malachi was exstatic about the tracker, he had the sound effects going and everything.


The hen house



While in Leavenworth we also went to their fish hatchery




This is back at the little petting zoo, they had a little cow train that they would pull you around the farm in. There was no way us pregnant ladies where fitting in the cows with the kids to so the Dads rode instead. It was quite a sight to see Enoch get out of the cow.








On another weekend we went as a family to Silverwood and Silver Mountain Ski Resort I guess it was a Silver weekend. Here Tory is on the train there.








This is the gondola that takes you to the mountain, there were some great views while going up and coming back down. At some point you go right over peoples houses.





After the Gondola ride we went to the water park are the resort, it is so wonderful. Perfect for families. Tory had a great time as did Carl and I.
