The Morris Bunch: Mini Vacay....

Now that my work schedule has picked up, marketing definitely keeps you busy and trying to do what I can at home with the boys is really hard, and Scott working every chance he can get....our quality family time has slowly dwindled away. Knowing that last weekend was my only weekend off until September, Scott and I planned an impromptu family vacation.

Of course we totally did it on a budget! We had the best "camping" trip ever!

Here are the boys ready for our fun road trip...in my family's mini van. (They're letting us borrow it until my car is fixed)

We headed up Farmington Canyon to the fishing pond there...it's one of our favorites. Brax was so excited to explore now that he can walk everywhere!

And Carter loves using his McQueen fishing pole every chance he can...

Once our fishing trip was over, we headed to Texas Roadhouse (with our gift card from Uncle Jimmy) and the boys loved it! Brax was in heaven with all the fries and rolls, while Carter sang to the music...

Part of why this was the best "camping" trip ever, is because we actually stayed in a hotel that night. (I know not really camping, but still so much fun!) It was the cheapest hotel we could find...and man was it a dump! But it did have a great pool that we all (yes Scott included) enjoyed that night!

We played Hot Potato, chased the Zhu Zhu pets around and watched TV. My favorite part of the night was sleeping with my little guy. Braxton is my child that really wants to be in his crib when he's tired, not cuddled or snuggling but alone in his crib. So to actually get to snuggle was a really nice surprise!

The next morning was fun because the boys had their favorite breakfast, pop tarts. (I know that's funny but we never buy them at home) Brax loved walking around everywhere exploring what the hotel had to offer...

After breakfast we headed back up the mountains in Bountiful to shoot some guns. Every girls' dream right?!? It was so much fun though, Carter loves having this special time with Scott and Brax pretended to drive the car while the big boys shot at targets.

For such a quickly planned trip, $50 and no idea what was going to happen, this was our best trip yet! It was so fun to hang out, watch TV channels we don't have at home and be together.

Carter loved being at the hotel...
