At the "Hill"

After we left Antelope Island, we went and got some yummy 5-Buck Pizza, which our kids thought was the best thing ever... we were the only people there, and they gave us free cheese bread. Then we headed into Layton to find our hotel. Our kids LOVE staying in hotels. I'm not sure if it's because it's just somewhere besides home, or if it's the fact that they get to swim in the hotel pool, or that we get to eat the great continental breakfast in the mornong, or what... but they love it. We ended up with an upgraded room, because somehow they had overbooked. Fine with us!

After breakfast, we grabbed all our bags and headed up to the Hill Air Force Base Museum. We had been there before, but it had been several years. Our kids were super excited (especially the boys). It's a fun FREE museum.

I love all the big planes outside when you first get there. Our boys were in heaven checking everything out.

I saw the flags, and had to get a little "sunflare."

Inside, they have a room where there are a whole bunch of uniforms. I love it! They keep it nice and dark to protect them... I love seeing the old WWI and WWII uniforms. They are my favorite.

Then inside the larger part of the museum, there are a bunch of old planes, and fun things to read about the history of aviation. Pretty interesting stuff.

The kiddos...

Since the last time we went, they have opened a fun room for "kids." There were plenty of adults trying out the simulators and the other stuff, too. Eryn strapped in and gave it a try.

Hayden chose this particular uniform to wear the entire time he was in there. He was flying planes, pushing buttons, and having a great time.

One small step for B...

Bryson tried on other uniforms as well. He was definitely a cute little fighter pilot.

Kaitlyn had fun, too. Not only were there "flight simulators" and things like that, but some fun little science-type activities. She loved the bike wheel activity (and I even tried that one. Pretty cool).

We had a great time on our little mini-vacation.

And of course, a vacation wouldn't be the same without someone getting sick. We had one throw up on the way home. Good thing we were only about an hour away from home when it happend. Poor kiddo!
