Bedrock land

So, we were on our way to the airport museum in Valle Arizona when we came upon this. We thought we would go into the gift shop and see what they had. Come to find out there is a huge bedrock land right behind this building. So we had to go in.

First we went to the goatosaurus. It had real goats.


Funny pictures.

This slide was awesome.

It was us and another family. We had the whole land to ourselves!

Each house had real furniture in it and food that they ate a long time ago.

Barney and Betty's house.

The school bus.

The school house.

Clay and Taylin learned a lot!

Taylin getting operated on at the hospital. Ouch.

Oh-oh. They got in trouble and had to go to jail.
Boo-hoo.I'm going to break through these bars.

Sorry about the wind sound. This gives a picture of the magnitude of this place. They say in the summer there is train ride also. It was fun enough without the train ride.

The Polar Express

Sunday we didn't have anything planned until that night for the Polar Express. We did the town of Bedrock and then came back to the hotel for a rest. OK I zonked out! I woke up and looked out the hotel window to this! I couldn't believe it. It had snowed for the Polar Express. It was so perfect.

The view out my window.

Grand Canyon fake deer farm. It was cool all lit up.


Clay wanting to get a picture of his breath. I know, I know, to you Utah people you get to see it everyday but we here in Vegas rarely get to see it. It's always fun.

Cheers! Hot chocolate for everyone. After playing in the snow and not having the proper snow attire they were pretty drenched. We took off Taylin's shoes and socks and tried to warm them up on the trip.

This was our Chef and her Elf. They gave us hot chocolate and cookies.

Cheese.

We are puckered out!

Taylin telling the elf that she wants another dog for Christmas. Oh brother.

Outside the train depot.

The bells that drove momma crazy! It was fun and the kids loved it.

Pink Jeep tour

Almost the end of our trip. Can you tell by the forced smiles? This is in Sedona, right before our jeep tour.
Taylin wanted a picture by the pansies.

Our driver was very informative and fun.
The pink jeep.

This is how they rode pretty much the whole time. It was cold!!

Brrrr!

We took a trip to Diamondback gulch and the Ancient ruins. Not sure if I would do the diamond back gulch again it was bumpy!!! Clay would do it in a second. Maybe Travis can take him next time. ha-ha

This is the hike to the ruins. Not too bad.

Pictures of the ruins.

Halloween 2008

This year Halloween was different. We started celebrating a week prior with our ward party then the Thursday before Halloween they had a school party because there was no school on Friday. Then on Halloween they went trick or treating with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen to their ward and around their neighborhood. It was a long Halloween.

Clay was a scary heavy metal rockstar.

Taylin was a masquerade princess.

I tell ya, you put on the heavy metal wig and it brings the rockstar out of ya. Here's Grandpa Joe reliving the 80's.

Travis breaking free. Watch out!
(He'll probably get mad but serves him right for not updating the blog himself, ha-ha).

Tagged

I swear I would never reply if I was tagged but I guess since it was Aunt Marilyn I will.
1. I am bored out of my mind with the kids at school. Should I fire the cleaning lady? No way, that's why I work!
2. I love Dr Pepper, if I don't get my Dr Pepper within 30 minutes of starting work, watch out. I don't care if you're bleeding from your eyes you will get no sympathy (maybe a little, but not much).
3. I hate being asked if the recession has hit our family and I love that I can answer "no" and state that with our type of careers we have job security, especially Travis.
4. I do not like College Algebra and think that subject should only be taught if you are getting your masters in Mathematics. I love that my dad can help me when I am failing and help me get a 96% on the final to boost my grade up to a B, yay!!!
5. I hate thinking up 7 facts that people don't know about me, now where's the secrets and mystery.
6. I do not like cooking from scratch but I like the results after I do it. I would much rather go to Costco and get those prepared meals and call that from scratch then to do it myself.
7. I hate that we can't call a Halloween party at school a Halloween party and a Christmas party a Christmas party we have to call it a Winter party. What gives, I think if you don't want to participate you should stay home that day?

Utah deer hunt

Future hunters of America.

Clay and Grandpa's deer.


Brett and the deer.
Fun after the deer was got.

These fish were pretty big.

Clay can reel the fish in but don't ask him to touch them.
