During the deer hunt Brett's grandma Nelson takes all the girls & boys that are not old enough to go with dad hunting to Salt Lake for the weekend.  This has been a fun tradition for me.  I started going when Brett was on his mission and now I get to take my own kids.  The past two years have been really fun because Andrew has been with Brett. So it has been a pretty relaxing weekend for me and Madi.  For the next three years Hayden will have to tag along but it will be OK:)  I was closer to 30 weeks Pregnant and didn't really want to get in a swim suit so I just sat on the side of the pool and watched Madi and all of her cousins and second cousins play.  The rooms Brett's grandma gets are big enough we can all fit in and we order pizza and craft all night:0  This year we made wooden Christmas trees, Thanksgiving vinyl to put on plates, and the kids made candy corn decorations.  It was really fun.  In the past we have made watches, necklaces, pillows, fun stuff like that.   The next morning Brett's Grandma and mom gave all the little and big girls some money to spend shopping and off we went:)  We have a great family and I am sure this will always be a tradition.
