The Circus!!!


We traveled up to Salt Lake this weekend to take the kids to the Ringling Bros. Circus. Jarrin has been dying to go to the circus ever since his kindergarten circus. We went up Friday and went out to dinner. We got up Saturday morning and had breakfast and did some shopping. We went to the Gateway and shopped around. They had a really fun Halloween store that we spent a lot of time in. Jarrin was just a little bit scared of all the freaky decorations they had. He is not a huge fan of scary stuff. The circus was at the Energy Solutions Arena, so we just walked over after shopping. A half hour before the show starts you can go down on the performance floor and see the animals and clowns close up. Jarrin really enjoyed it, and even the older two did too. They had been complaining for having to go! Jarrin's favorite acts were the cannon and the people who walked upside down on the ceiling. He kept asking me, "How are they doing that?".

We thought we might enroll him!

As long as Austin has popcorn he's happy!

Labor Day






On Sunday we took a drive out to the Sand Dunes to start looking for good camping spots for the hunt. Jarrin had to get out and play in the sand of course!






Monday we took a drive up Johnson Canyon into Cannonville. It was a beautiful drive except for when the kids were annoying each other in the backseat. We stopped at the Tropic Ditch Trail on the way back. It takes you up to a small waterfall and a mossy cave. Jarrin said the trail was not that "challenging." When we were done hiking we stopped at the Bryce Pines to eat.






It was a steep hike up to this cut out in the rock.
