Utah trip

Instead of doing laundry and putting away our tons of luggage I will write about our wonderful trip to Utah. We had so much fun but missed Dave by the end of the week. It was the most perfect flight on the way out there. It wasn't a full flight and we had the nicest flight attendants that actually took my kids and walked them around the plane for a little bit which saved my sanity. We also had a whole row to ourself which was nice. On the way back it was another story. I didn't get on the plane early enough so we got the last seat where there were actually 2 seats next to eachother and it happened to be next to an older man, he was very nice and helpful but it would have been better if we had the whole row to ourselves. Of course halfway through the flight Ben was stinky and we had to change him. So I took him to the back where the flight attendants were and changed him there on the little jumpseat that the flight attendants sit on. I changed him then lifted him up and Siena had her fingers there when the seat came up slamming her fingers in the seat.She screamed for 30 minutes while a nice flight attendant held Ben. It was awful and we still had 2 hours left. We never really recovered from that and had a wigly crying wining rest of the flight. Thank you, thank you holly for the dvd player that helped. We did so much in Utah. Siena was really excited that we could see so many temples. We saw the almost finished Draper temple and we went to temple square. We went to music and the spoken word to see my dad sing in the choir and then president Monson came out after they sang. It was cool. I was so close to him and it was cool to see my dad sing live. We went to a halloween party where we could trick o treat and Siena fell asleep in the car ride there so she missed the whole event. She woke up when we put her back in the car when we were done. We were so off our schedules and were always so busy. Ben had a good time trick o treating. A lot of people thought he was Robin Hood which I guess is easy to mistake him for. If Siena was awake and trick o treating with him they would have been able to tell he was Peter Pan. They are so cute together in their costumes. We went to Thanksgiving point and did the Dinosaur musuem which Siena was scared of. I don't know why. We went to barnyard boo also at Thanksgiving point. That was lots of fun. There was a little petting zoo, pony rides and a haunted hayride where the headless horseman came up and rode right next to you. She wasn't scared of that. Surprisingly I saw my mtc roomate there, that was really fun to see her little family too. We braved the HUGE crowd to go to Boo at the zoo. It was the most perfect fall day ever to go to the zoo. I think my kids were the only ones not dressed up. They would not put on their costumes. I got yelled at by a little 4 yr old because I thought he was a tiger when he was a lion. WOW. I guess I don't know my animals well enough. We saw lots of animals and got some candy. They need to be a little more organized about it all. We got to hang out with my brother that day which was really fun. My sister Jennie and her 3 boys came to play a lot and they loved hanging out in grandmas basement and on her swingset and my sister Amy came and stayed with us while we were there. It was fun to see my newest nephew and my little sister Amy cute and pregnant. The cousins got along wonderfully and we miss you guys. We played all day and shopped a lot which was exactly what we wanted to do.
