A fall day in SLC

While in Utah, we had such a fun day in Salt Lake City! It's a big tradition of ours to go to Gardner Village every autumn with the girls. A week-day was the only time we could go, so sadly, the younger girls missed out this year. But we grabbed Aunt Nancy, Brooke, and Paisley to come instead!

 3 kids between the two of us- weren't we just in high school?

 Brooke, Mom, me & kids, Staci, Savannah, & Paisley (Nancy is taking the picture) at Archibald's for lunch. Fried avocados....mmmm....fried green tomatoes....ahhhhh.....seriously, the yummiest food.

It was such a beautiful, warm fall day!

 Gramma got all these darling Halloween outfits for the 3 kids

Of course, we always love finding and taking pictures with all of the WITCHES in the village! 

These two always have the funnest time together. So wish we lived closer to sweet Paisley.

 Gramma loves and spoils her grandbabes.

And, I just HAD to throw in this hilarious picture of Savannah. I think I'll look at it whenever I'm having a bad day. 

Halloween babies!

 Mom, you look like a model here! Babe!

What a fun day shopping, taking pictures, and having lunch at Gardner Village! Always a favorite of ours! 

That afternoon, we headed to Gateway to surprise Drake with his first trip to Build-A-Bear. This place is a child's heaven. The cutest concept- build your own stuffed animal. I think I had as much fun watching Drake run around with glee then he did actually doing it. 

Stuffing, bathing, dressing, and naming his new monkey, named "Spidey Monkey Bear"

The sleeping beauties got animals too. (kissing the little heart that goes into their stuffed animal)

Thanks to such a fun grandma! (Drake's smile on the right is the sweetest)

On our way to the car, Drake discovered the beautiful Gateway fountains-

Mid-air!

Oh, to be a kid again...

What a fabulous day in SLC!
