Homestead Resort Vacaetion!

Just got back from our overnight stay at the Homestead Resort in Midway, UT. It was really fun and relaxing to get away. It was also exhausting!! You now how it is with kids and their routines. They loved it though and were super excited to go on vacation. We started the trip at Bridal Veil Falls. Just a short stop to take some pictures and read the history. Then it was off to Heber City for the surprise Train Ride. The kids didn't know about this until we were in the parking lot. They loved the surprise. Austin just kept going on and on about the trains and was fascinated with them all. They both were excited to get on and get moving and really enjoyed the scenery out the window. We only did the 90 minute ride so half way up we were in the back and the other half we were in the front. Austin didn't like being in the front because the train was so LOUD!! He got scared and kept telling me to make it stop and he wanted off. After the train we got dinner and headed to the beautiful Homestead Resort where we stayed in the barn!! It was a very nice room that we had destroyed in an hour HAHA the joys of staying with children. We watched a movie and then settled down for bed, which was eventful!! We've never stayed in the same room with both kids. Madison slept with daddy, which she says won't happen again cause he was too annoying and she was too wiggly!! At four in the morning she sits straight up in bed and says, "daddy, will you stop making that annoying sound!" (talking about his snoring of course!) Austin was up about every 2-3 hours, crying. Just was all different to him! The next morning was breakfast, swimming at their indoor pool and mineral bath, a short trip to the Zermatt Resort to feed the goats, and little shopping, and a swim in the Crater. Its a crater thats filled with water, 65 ft deep!, that divers suba in and swimmers swim around in the natural springs. It was alittle scary at first, but very relaxing. Austin didn't like it a first, but I got him in the water and he relaxed. It was different and really neat. So glad we did it. After that is was a yummy lunch at Grannys and home!! The kids did good and we had so fun trying something different!
