For Christmas the girls each got a trip gift that included items for the destination and a description of what we would be doing. We finally got to get Hallie's scheduled to go geode hunting. We left after work on Friday and got to the hotel in Orem at a good time so we had some time for dinner and some swimming.
The next morning the girls could hardly wait to get to the geodes. It took longer than we expected and we were sure we were lost a couple times before we finally got in the right place. Lucky for us we stop a passing by car to ask for directions and they helped us figure it out. I was uncomfortable with being an hour out of cell service and us being alone but all went well and when we finally found the geode beds I was more than relieved.
Matt was a natural and luckily for us he actually found some. Because it had taken us longer to get there it was really hot so we were all feeling a little in a hurry to find our geodes and get back in the a/c car.
Hallie was so excited and the trip didn't disappoint although next time Matt and I agreed that buying geodes would certainly be easier but not nearly as much of an adventure. On the way out we found a map that more closer specified where the geode could be found and they were much deeper in the grounds so we were lucky we actually found some.
After we found our geodes and other cool rocks we headed for Puppy Barn in West Jordan. Before we got there we realized we were starving and grabbed dinner at Red Robin. It was yummy. The girls were anxious to get to the puppies. It was set up different than I expected and it was so busy. That didn't stop the girls from loving on all of the puppies.
I think at some point in the near future we will add a puppy to our lives. It was a fun but exhausting weekend. I love and cherish the family time we get and love how we are with just us.
