Labor Day Weekend

We had a great Labor Day weekend! Saturday morning we put the kids in the car at 5:30 a.m. and headed to Midway for Swiss Days. April and I ran the 10k and our kiddos ran the children's races. We ran into a family friend who lives in Midway and offered to let Mike and kids watch the race from their property. I would be in heaven if this was my property!About 5 1/2 miles into the race we came across the cutest cheering crowd and had to cross the street and give five to all our fans. So fun!The kids had a great time in their race and were super excited about the whole event. Mike was a gem! He had our four kids and Marcus during our race and was super daddy pushing two strollers and getting five kids to the start of the children's races while April, Glenn and I were finishing the 10k. Somehow it all worked out!April and I had a great run, it was truly beautiful running in the hills of Midway.
In honor of our Swiss heritage, we stuck around for the parade and then had authentic Knatwurst sandwiches for lunch and then headed home. It was a great family outing!
After Swiss Days, Mike and I left the kids with our trusted Shelby and enjoyed watching the Cougars beat Washington in our opening game of the season! We love being in the Lavell Edwards Stadium and cheering for our cougs!Bridal Veil Falls is one of our favorite places in Provo Canyon. We headed up Monday, but we weren't the only ones with this idea! We had a great time walking up the trail, playing in the water, and eating our picnic lunch! Mike wants to climb the waterfall so badly, but every time we go, we have kids with us! He climbed part of the fall and I can tell he's like a little kid itching to go all the way up. We'll have to go for a date sometime before we love Provo. On the way back down, Mike and the boys would walk ahead and hide and then jump out and surprise me. They had so much fun doing this all the way down! Such funny kiddos. It was a great weekend and now we're back to real life.
