We had a wonderful vacation in Ogden. (Who knew Ogden was such fun?) We left Friday morning and stopped in Logan for lunch and our annual trip to Gossners for school lunch milks... and then we took the kids to The Treehouse Museum. This is undoubtedly one of the coolest museums for children... dress up and play 'heroes', act out story books in the children's amphitheater, pretend to be the President of the United States in the Oval Office, play life-size chess... there was so much to enjoy there (and who knew Aunt Michaelene was on the Board of Directors there?) For dinner, we drove up to the mouth of Ogden Canyon and ate at The Timbermine. I highly recommend this one-of-a-kind steakhouse. Delish food, excellent service, and unique ambiance. Saturday was the Packer Family Reunion at Aunt Michaelene's house in Pleasant View. The kids swam in her pool ALL. DAY. LONG. (Emma has green hair to prove it.) Uncle Alan had the food catered and it was plentiful and delicious! (Hawaiian -style, complete with guava cake and homemade ice cream!)
Finally, we ended with Sunday afternoon in Farmington (ahem, forget that the Mister got pulled over in Kaysville for speeding. Luckily, Officer Gillespi was a God-fearing man. We got off with a warning...) My brother and his family live there and blessed their new baby Ethan. Afterwards, we had a delightful luncheon at his in-laws home in Centerville.
Pack in the memories, folks... school starts in T minus 20 days...

20 days is much too soon!! Was that pool in your aunt's backyard? The landscaping is absolutely beautiful!! Glad you had such a good time. Missed you on Sunday!
Thanks, Kristine! Yes, that's her backyard -- Uncle Leonard is a retired landscape architect (he did Thanksgiving Point at Point-of-the Mtn in Utah County) among other prestigious things, I'm told.
We need to make the trip to that museum. So glad you had such a good time. We were happy to see you even if it was only for a couple of hours!
I LOVE the Treehouse museum. We have only been there once. I am envious of the pool party. The next time you are in the area and have a few extra hours, lets get together and have lunch!
