Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was so much fun!
Saturday was Swiss Days in Heber and Dee hasn't ever been and I went once when I was little.
And from what my Mom said it was the day after and they were still cleaning stuff up.
Anyways, last year a few of my sisters went and I thought maybe Mandee would want to go again.
Long story short, I guess they were planning on about 6,000 people there just for the parade!
So all the booths would have been packed!
She said it was like Quilt-a-Bear outside.
Maybe we'll go next year.
I didn't want to go fight crowds.

Instead, we went to Get Air with Mandee, Carter and Reese

It was a BLAST!!
Get Air is a warehouse full of tramps.

One area was for Dodgeball, one for Basketball, foam pits, Little Air (for kids under 46")
Before we got there, Dee was saying that he would probably only jump for 5 minutes then be done.
Right....
After watching them in the pits, I wanted to go jump!




I think we spent most of the hour at the foam pits.
They were so much fun to watch!
Reese was doing soo good with her backhand springs! 
Carter liked to Superman into the pits.
I would recommend very light clothes when you go.
Dee had no idea what he was getting into and was covered in sweat after the hour.
It really looked like he got out of the shower with the sweat all over his face.
It was a good workout though ;)
That night we went over to my parents house because I wanted to make some yummy cookie/brownie thingys but needed my Mom's help.
My first batch didn't turn out at all and I ended up throwing all of it away.
I was a little frustrated.
But I didn't give up.
This is such an easy recipe:
One box of brownie mix
cookie dough
Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
In a cupcake tin, with the liners(don't forget these! it makes things a lot easier)
Put about 1/4 cookie dough in the bottom of the liners
add a Mini Reese's in the middle of the cookie dough
pour brownie mix on the top until the liner is about 3/4 full.
(If the brownie mix is runny, add more flower to make it thicker.
If you don't, the brownie will collapse on itself and make it harder to get the deliciousness out of the liner)
Bake at 350 for 18 - 25 minutes
Let cool and enjoy!
It is a lot of chocolate so if you like milk, crab a big cup.
If you don't like milk, like me, put ice cream on top.
They are delicious!





I also helped my Mom finish canning beans.
She had a ton and was nice and canned them for Dee and I.
Yummy garden beans when we move into our house! :)


Monday we went to Hooper Days (Tomato Days)
It's like any other type of "Days".
They had games for the kids,
booths for the adults (and kids to bug there parents to buy them little things),
farmers market (what else can you expect in Hooper?)
and a rodeo.
The rodeo didn't start until 6 (we went around 2) and didn't want to stay until then.
Plus the heat was really getting to me.
So we decided to go home and spent the rest of the evening relaxing in bed watching Netflix.
Seriously one of the best days I have ever had with the hubby!
I hope you had a great Labor Day!
Happy Tuesday!! 
(I'd so rather say that then Monday! ;))
