A crazy busy (but fun) weekend!

It was UEA in Utah (a two break schools get for the teachers to go to the Utah Education Association's two day workshops in Salt Lake) or as most people call it, fall break and my brother Joe and his family decided to go camping at the Box Elder camp ground which is about two miles from our house. 

They arrived on Thursday night and we went over and hung out with them while they got everything set up.  On Friday we began the day with pancakes at the campsite (we slept at home, it was much too cold to sleep in a tent) and then headed to Logan to the American Heritage Farm's harvest festival.  Uncle Quent didn't go to Logan with us as he wasn't feeling so great and he didn't want to make his sore throat worse by spending the day outside.

The harvest festival was full of activities, we went to the corn maze, pony rides, a hay maze, road the train, made corn husk dolls, made corn cob darts, visited the sheep, slide down the larger than life slide, went through the heritage buildings and had applesauce chocolate chip cookies, visited the wood shop and visited the pumpkin patch, it was a busy busy day!  Friday night was capped off with Joe's famous chicken and potatoes in the dutch oven and smores by the fire.

Saturday I made scones and sausage for breakfast and then we did our own thing Saturday afternoon.  My parents came up to watch the Utah football game Saturday night and the kids loved playing out back at our house. 

Sunday morning Joe and Joy packed up and headed home and Quent and I took a much needed break.  Below are a few pictures of the weekend.
