Well a couple weekends ago Jason and I decided that we needed a little break from our busy lives. We decided that we might as well take advantage of his 4 day weekend and leave town. We also decided due to the likelihood of traveling during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons that we wouldn't travel too far. So we ended up taking the kids to the Brookfield Zoo (about 45mins away) and then to a Hotel (1 1/2hrs away). We decided to spend the night up north so Jason could do some much needed work in the Chicago Temple. Also we rented a room with a suite, which was perfect for Tristen to run around in and explore...which she did. All in all our weekend was great. Tristen had a great time at the zoo and loved seeing all the animals she reads about in her books. After we told Tristen that we were going to the zoo I asked her what animals would we see at the zoo, Tristen's response, cows...not so much. Also Blake was as good as gold, which is normal, so we had a beautiful day with great weather and the kids were perfect. After the zoo we left for the hotel and spent an hour or so at the pool, which we had all to ourselves. Mommy enjoyed her time in the hot tub...which I haven't been able to do for a while since I was prego. Also we went Halloween shopping for the kids costumes that weekend, it was so much fun and I can't wait to take their pictures (I'll save them for another blog entry). Well here are a few pics of our trip. I must admit with 2 kids it is a bit tricky trying to take as many pics. Oh well, you get the point that we had a fun and relaxing weekend.
Blake and Tristen waiting patiently while mom and dad finished packing...thank heavens for televisions.

Tristen was a big fan of the elephants, we had to make a couple trips back to see them again.
