Logan (the good and the moldy end of July visit)

We came Sunday evening to start out our visit to Logan. Monday Casey went off to work with the boys. I took the kids out to see Nana for a bit. We also got to see Peggy and Nathan who were visiting. It was good to see them. Peggy was sweet and gave Kendal one of her bracelets. Nathan entertained the kids and made them cup helicopters. Grandpa used his genius to push the kids around that afternoon.

Tuesday was Pioneer day! Kendal and Peter got to start their day out riding four wheelers at the shop. We went to the Logan city parade this year. It was hot, but the kids didn't mind. After the parade we went over to the kids area of willow park. The kids got to do the craft center that I helped with during the summers I worked for parks and rec programs. They made snakes, and popsicle holders. The kids also got tattoos and colored pictures. Finally they got to run after candy from the candy cannon.

 

Later that day we went out to David and Anica's. The kids played on a water slide and in the sand. We had a yummy dinner and Alice probably ate her weight in watermelon.

Wednesday we got to have Elliot over to play for a while and went out to chick fill a together for lunch. We watched The greatest Showman that afternoon while Alice napped. 
Thursday we took lunch out to the boys. The kids got to ride in the backhoe and Peter stayed a bit  to work (aka hit rocks and ride the backhoe). Us girls  went to Nana's. Unfortunately she was out do we did some cleaning. 
Later that afternoon we headed to Preston. We met up with David and Anica to do rides at the fair grounds. The kids got to ride the teacups, a couple of coasters, cars, a giant slide, the carousel, and flying dragons! Peter was over the moon having fun, Kendal enjoyed everything, and surprisingly Alice had fun and even waved to people most of the train ride. After the carnival we went to watch the parade. The kids got loads of Candy and uncle David helped get the rest. For dinner we stopped at Big J's in Richmond. 






Friday we took another try and went to see Nana. We stayed to play a few hours. The kids played away their time and we got and great quality time with Nana!


Unfortunately Friday afternoon and most of Saturday were spent dealing with mimo issues in the basement. I felt awful for the mess, but grateful it's been caught and is being dealt with. Life - not always easy or smooth, but we can do hard things. It will be fixed, and all  will be ok. (I promise!)

While Alice napped Saturday i took the Kendal and Peter to the splash pad for fun. They hit it off with other kids and ran around paying together and having a grand time.

We're grateful for pout visits to Logan. We're spoiled by Auntie K, Grandma, Grandpa, and Nana.  Always good times and sweet memories made. (The good and the moldy ; )
