Daddy Daughter Nite

On "Black Friday" my 2 sisters and I  braved the morning and went shopping at 4 am in Vernal. We don't really go to get the "big ticket" items we just like to go and see how crazy everyone else get. I know that is early to get up and watch other people, but it sure is funny. I also like the time I get to spend with them. We shop and have breakfast together WITH OUT the kids.

 Then that nite my dad took his 3 daughters and 2 daughters in law to Vernal to shop for my mom, and to dinner at Wendy's. He usually would take only one to go shop, but this year we were all there and thought it would be fun to take us all. We told him he could go at 4:00am with us, he didn't think that was such a good idea.

 The next day, Jason, Justin and my brother in law Tracy got up at 5:30 am to go goose hunting. (Now thats crazy)
Then later that day we went up to the mountains to get our Christmas tree. There was so much snow up there it was over my knees. My brother Sam found out that the 4 wheel drive does not work in his truck. Fortuntally Tracy had some tire chains.

 A passer by stopped and offered to help pull him up the hill. There were so many people up there it was crazy. By the time we got where we wanted to be we all just said " hurry and pick one so we can get out of here" So I didn't a pic of the tree we worked to hard to get.

OUR SOARING EAGLES
At the school where our kids go they have what they call "soaring eagles" Thats an award they get for doing well that trimester, in all subjects. Then they do a activity for the soaring eagles, Justins got to go ice skating, Audree and Shane watched a movie and had a party. If they are a soaring eagle all 3 trimester then they are called a "Sky Dancer" and have a big activity at the end of the year.They have gone to the movie theater before other times they went to Price to the Wave Pool. The school has lots of fun things to get the kids excited about learning and reading.
