Our last event over UEA was to take the kids to Thanksgiving Point and go to the Halloween Festival called Cornbellys. We did the corn maze first and got lost (of course). When the kids were tired of walking around I took us to the end in about 60 seconds by cutting through the corn. Hey, we made it out right?
(Here is a picture of the allusive Miss Kendra and her crew of misfits!)
(Here is a picture of a tall hot guy that we met at the corn maze. The kids took a liking to him, so we kept him! And we let him buy us dinner.)
Afterward we walked around, smelled stinky pigs, shot pumpkins out of a cannon, took a ride on a tractor train, rode some mini petal bikes, walked through a haunted blow up monster and jumped on a huge moon bounce. By the time we were done with all of that it was dark and the kids were cold so we crossed the street and went to dinner at JCW's. Yummy. It was a great family night and everyone had a good time. It is nice that the older they get the easier it is for all of us to do something together and have a good time without fighting.
Then we took them to see Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3-D for our family party. It was great. Most of the kids do not remember seeing them because they were too little. We are all excited for the third installment to come out! For her gift she chose to get her ears pierced. FINALLY!! (Jess do you remember when we tried to take her?) She has gotten up in the piercing chair 3 times and chickened out 3 times! I was so proud of her when she did not even cry! 
After the swim we went back to the cabin, got our stuff, checked out and then headed to Heber. We went to the park, went shopping, and had lunch before our second surprise activity of the day. Lewis took us to ride the Heber Valley Railroad. 
We have lived here for about 8 years and we have never done it. The kids had a great time! It was just short enough not to get bored and long enough not to want more.
