Labor Day Weekend 2010

This year for Labor Day we were quite busy. Me and my friend Rachel left from Rock Springs on Friday morning to head off to Swiss days in Midway, Utah for some shopping. We spent lots of money and we found some great ideas for some crafts for the up coming holidays. Afterward we went to my sister Stacee's house. After socializing we went to dinner to Texas Roadhouse where Rachel and I out ate the guys by at least 8 ounces and we both ordered 16 oz prime rib steaks. After some good food we headed to the park to let the kids get all of their wiggles out. The following day we did some small shopping around Lehi and SLC and headed to go to Jason's sled pull in Ogden. On our way we passed Hill Air Force Museum and we decided to stop and let the kids explore. It was fun. Dayton and Max loved all of the helicopters, Planes and Jets. We arrived in Ogden around 4:30 for the pulls. It was long and hot. After waiting 3 hours, Jason finally pulled. There were 5 in his class and Jason pulled 2nd place. It was good competition for us. He did great and he didn't have a break down which means State fair here we come! After the pulls Rachel drove home and I was left to drive home Jason's Truck and Jason drive home the motor home that has been parked at my dads house. Since I am very uneducated at a manual my wonderful sisters joined in on the ride home to help me out. A half hour into the drive I had enough and I was ready to hand the steering wheel over to Megan and Megan drove for the rest of the drive home. We arrived back home around 1:30 AM. Jason ended up sleeping on the side of the road in the motor home and woke up in the morning at 9 to finish his journey. Once he was back and showered we left the house to go to Jason's dad's camp site at Flaming Gorge for a little BBQ and some Stott family time. The food was good. Dayton loved throwing rocks in the lake. We have officially raised the water elevation where we were sitting. Lee came and picked up my sisters and they went home leaving just me and my family. We left around 7:30 and came home to get a red box and we sat down to watch a movie as a family together. On Monday we were mostly lazy all day. We went to the show Nanny McPhee Returns and came home and ate dinner after. It was a long eventful weekend and it summed up our summer that is soon coming to an end.
