Fun Wales Weekend!

We ventured south to the Wales house this weekend to celebrate Pioneer Day with some family. We were a little nervous about traveling with a newborn but she did great (except for the second night when she didn't sleep too great and kept everyone up! - sorry!)


The first night we were there we got to eat smores. The kids loved it! Doug's parents bought these huge marshmallows called "Giant Roasters" or something like that. I think you can get them at Macey's. They were awesome and huge! Lilly's marshmallow totally exploded all over so she ditched the chocolate and graham and went straight for handfulls of melted marshmallow.
You can see the bag of marshmallows on the left next to the camera. Look how big they are compared to the camera (and how big they are compared to the graham cracker!) They seriously were awesome!
Friday the kids got to use grandpa's metal detector to see what fun things they could find in the yard. They're used to be an old tool shed on this part of the property and there definitely were treasures to be found! This was not even close to half of what they found. They had a blast!

Cute Doug and Lilly. We definitely enjoyed some nice daddy time while we were down there!
I got this skirt for Lilly right before we went down. She loved it and pretty much wore it the whole time we were there. Mable enjoyed plenty of grandma time. There was also a little bit of this - which was nice for mom and dad!
Friday night we drove up Maple Canyon. It's such an awesome canyon. The rock formations are incredible! Supposedly it's ranked in the top 10 places to rock climb in the world. It's pretty famous and really is spectacular.
We hiked around a little which was great for the kids. They had a great time.
Here's a random picture for the post. Lilly loves to play with the file folder games. Especially before bed. It makes such a giant mess and it's a pain for me to clean and reorganize all of them but she seriously loves them. She came up one morning looking like this. Apparently she had a great time with one of the letter matching games the night before.
