Brigham City

Hema is back in school full time. He started in January at Utah State University working towards his Administrative Endorsement. To say he has been busy would be a total understatement. Between work, school and church - he has been crazy! But the upside is he is really loving his classes, learning a lot and will be done by next May! This summer he is doing classes at the USU extension in Brigham City. Each of the sessions runs 2 weeks and he is taking classes for 3 sessions. His first 2 week session ended on Friday and we decided to take advantage of 2 days off and celebrate!! We packed the car on Thursday night and got up with Hema and headed up to Brigham City at 6:30 am. We got there just in time to drop Hema off for his final at 8 and then the kids and I headed over to the McDonalds where they played in the play center for about 3 hours. At 11 we picked up dad and were ready to party!!! Our first stop was the Brigham City Museum. They had a small area with all kinds of tools and household items from the pioneer times that the kids could try out. They kids loved it and thought it was really fun for about 10 minutes. They also had a display of old photos of homes and building taken in the pioneer times with current pictures of the houses or buildings next to them. I thought it was really interesting, but everyone else was ready to do something "fun." 

We headed over to the KOA there in Brigham City where we had reserved a camping spot. It was our first time ever camping at a KOA. It has a decent pool and was nice and grassy with lots of big trees. The kids were so excited to camp and play in the water. We set up out tent and headed to the pool. The water was a little chilly, but it didn't slow down our water babies! 

After swimming we ate dinner and headed over to a big park to play and do a little fishing. The kids were exhausted and ready for bed by 7! The campground was so quiet and we all slept great. 

Saturday we got up, cleaned up and headed over towards home. Our first stop was Smith and Edwards. What a store full of everything. I swear I've seen an old picture of Smith Edwards and Hawkins. Do any of my Hawkins relatives remember seeing that picture? I believe that my Grandfather was at one time in business with them. He might have served in the military with them?

We also stopped at the Hill Aerospace Museum. We all loved it! There are so many planes there and the kids thought they were amazing. The kids were sporting there 99 cent Smith and Edwards glasses in all the museum pictures. Such goof balls!

We had a great weekend and loved spending every single minute with our sweet Hema! He is the absolute best dad ever!! We miss him while he is so busy at school, but are so grateful that he is willing to work so hard for our family.
