Our Vacation

Well, we had a nice little vacation over the Thanksgiving weekend. Faron has been working so much and life has been so busy lately that we decided to throw tradition to the wind this year and take off on our own. We drove about 4 hours away to Springfield, for no reason really, it was just a place to get away to. We had no plans and didn't really want a whole bunch of activities. We just wanted to relax, which we did. We hung out in our hotel, swam and even watched some TV (gasp). We spent a little time writing down some of our goals and plans, talking through some desires and such, but mostly we just rested.

We did go on a couple of fun little activities, so I am posting pictures of those for your viewing pleasure.

These pictures are of the girls on their pony ride. We went to one restaurant twice because it was fun and the kids really liked it. It was Lambert's (the girls liked it right away because the have recently seen that old cartoon called Lambert the Sheepish Lion) and it is famous for being the "home of the throwed rolls". Every couple minutes a guy comes out yelling "hot rolls, hot rolls" and if you want one you just raise your hand and he throws one at you. They all thought it was great.

Anyway, everybody thinks it is great because we had to wait over an hour both times we went (once it was 3 in the afternoon, and it was still an hour and twenty minute wait!). In the parking lot next door to Lambert's these wise people had set up pony rides, so we rode.
