For the past few fall breaks we have left town and enjoyed San Diego but this year we decided to stay in town. I took a few days off work and we had a great week.
On Monday we went bowling. Lauren had been requesting that we go bowling so fall break was a perfect time. Lauren's cousins, Elaine and Grant joined us for the fun. Lauren thought it was ok. She told be that she got a bit tired.
Tuesday was spent at her aunt and uncle's house while I worked. Wednesday she went to the first day of cheer camp. One of the local high schools holds a cheer camp for a few days during fall break. The high school cheer line teach them a few cheers and a dance. Then on Friday night they perform with the high school cheer line during the football game. Lauren just loved the cheer camp and thought preforming at the game was so much fun. Lauren had a great time at the football game.
On Thursday Lauren had cheer camp, a birthday party and then we went to a local pottery place to paint pottery. We had a really fun time painting and enjoying each other. I am excited to see how our pieces turned out.
Friday Lauren had her last day of cheer camp and then we went to visit my work. Lauren loves to come to my work and say hi to everyone. We then went to a movie. After the movie we came home to get ready for the football game.
Fall break 2011 is now over it was a fun week. It is always fun to go away for the week but this week was different and fun.

Tonight we went to the pumpkin patch with Brian, Diane, Sammie and Jacob. It was a great night and the kids had a wonderful time doing all the activities. We didn't get to do everything but we did enough that by the end of the night we were ready to go home. Lauren had a great time walking with Jacob through the haystack maze. She was so good with him. She told me that as her favorite part of the night.

Lauren attended a rock climbing birthday party this weekend. She had a great time. She surprised me by making it to the top of the wall a few times. Last time she tried rock climbing she only made it a few feet off the ground. She did a great job and made me so proud when I saw her over come her fear and just keep climbing.
