Tuesday Outing Day

When I was young, we always had an outing day during the summer on Tuesdays and this summer my brother, sister and I decided to continue the tradition. My mom is working now so she couldn't join us but we had a lot of fun each Tuesday!

The first Tuesday we visited the This is the Place Heritage Park. I had not been there since I was a little girl and was amazed at how much there is to do! We had fun branding leather, pony rides, train rides, making candles, panning for gold, touring homes and eating lunch.


The next Tuesday I took my kids to see The Tooth Fairy at the dollar summer movies and then joined my brother and sister for some bowling at Fat Cats.



The 3rd Tuesday we went to Gardner Village and just walked around for a while and had lunch at Archibald's restaurant, yum!

The 4th Tuesday ended up being on a Thursday since we were having lunch with my family so we had lunch and then went to Nickle Mania and we all had a great time!

The 5th Tuesday I got a babysitter for my kids and the 3 of us went swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic Center. It was fun but very crowded with a million little kids!


The 6th Tuesday Raphael was in town so we went to Park City. We hit the outlet malls first, then did lunch at Arby's and headed over to do the Alpine Slide. After sliding down and having 2 girls stopped in front of me multiple times (that was fun!) we walked around main street and got ice cream. Fun day!



The 7th Tuesday Raphael was still in town so my brother Rusty joined Timmy, Raphael and me at Boondocks. My favorite part was the bumper boats where we thoroughly soaked each other. Timmy didn't want to get wet so he watched and I'm glad he did, he wouldn't have liked it. Liz couldn't make it because of piano teaching conflicts.

The 8th Tuesday Liz got to pick because she didn't get to go the week before so we went to Tracy Aviary. It was fun to see all of the birds and Rusty and Liz had done a groupon deal which allowed them to feed the birds too which they said was awesome!

The 9th and final Tuesday was unfortunately the biggest dud of all! Rusty picked because it was his last week before moving to college so we decided to go to Thanksgiving Point for $2 Tuesdays. We drove down there and on the way Liz starting feeling ill so we had to get off and go straight to a gas station for her to use the restroom. She didn't feel like walking around, I had morning sickness and didn't really feel like going anywhere and Rusty had just found out his laptop was ready to be picked up at Walmart so we all decided to just go home!
We went to my Mom's house and watched Mary Poppins and ate chips and salsa, what a way to end!

Overall, I thought it was fun to continue our childhood tradition and we'll see if it happens next year!
