We made our way down to Logan very late (after 11 thanks to YM / YW) on Wednesday the 23rd. Casey was up early the next morning to go work with the guys while we played around Grandma's house. I got to visit Nana that evening. Peter got to open his birthday gifts. He got Lego's from Grandma and Grandpa. Aunt Katherine gave him a fun dragon puzzle, and the book Grumpy Monkey. Katherine was so sweet and gifted me a primary music book!
Friday we took the kids four wheeling down at the shop. Andy and Campbell came as well and we got see them for the rest of the day! We ate some pizza, then the kids played night games. We had a movie night that night with Pinacoloada's and watched "Your's, mine, and ours."
Saturday we joined Billie and her kids at Jump Zone. Alice and Maggie had fun bouncing all over the kiddie area, while the big kids did all of the other areas (dodge ball, foam pit, big trampolines, rock wall).
After church on Sunday we joined Billie and her kids on the trail walk by the Logan golf course. The kids spent the first while in the stream skipping rocks and enjoying themselves. We walked along the path a while, and found a geo cash on our way back to the car. Alice and Maggie were so cute and held hands and had little conversations together the whole time! That evening we ate Sunday dinner with David, Anica and crew. The kids built "log houses" out of pretzels and the kids played no bears are out tonight. I joined my Dad for a visit to Nana.
Peter and I took lunch up to the guys on Monday. Peter was able to spend the afternoon at with Anica and the boys playing Lego's and such to his hearts content.
Tuesday afternoon we joined Anica and the boys for an afternoon of water play. The kids had so much fun together. Anica pulled out water balloons and the kids had fun playing with them, bouncing them on the trampoline, and carrying them around like "babies" : D.
Wednesday Casey hurt his finger at work (another nail gun episode). Luckily it wasn't to bad. We had an easy going day at my parents. David, Anica, and their kids came down for dinner and play time. The kids had a Lego competition. Such a cute idea. Peter built a boat, Kendal a heart, and Alice built a "diving board?".
Thursday we went back to Jump Zone. This time Emma was back so Kendal had more fun ; ). The kids jumped around played away. David and Anica were so very sweet and had the kids over to play that evening. Casey and I ate some "Sweeto Burrito" and talked a while at a church park. We had a quick mallow roast at Davids to end the evening.
Friday we did a short trip to the shop so the kids could ride the four wheelers around. I thought it'd be fun to give Kendal and Peter their first "driving lesson" they drove in an oval next to the shop and both kids were nervous, but enjoyed it. That afternoon we joined Billie's family, David / Anica, and co. at the pool to swim. The kids had a good afternoon together! It was a hot day, and the pool was overflowing with people, but the kids had to much fun to notice! I went to visit Nana that evening, it was nice getting some time to chat and hear her stories.
After church on Sunday Casey and I got to go in and have a visit with Nana. We had a family dinner that evening while the kids played around outside.
Monday morning we headed out to Hyrum for anther parade. We joined Billie and her family, and were happy to have Sally and her family there as well for the fun! The kids gathered more candy and had a good time together! After lunch we joined David's crew and went to a mini golf place in Logan. All of the kids had fun putting around and "wining" at each hole. Kendal, Casey, Mom, and I got holes in one! We ended the evening with another nice family dinner!
Tuesday morning we cleaned up. I got in one last visit with Nana, and we headed out after lunch. No joke, as soon as we were home the kids were off playing with friends. Tuesday evening Peter had Acitvity Day's. His group got to shoot off Paper rockets.
The kids all went to the dentist on Wednesday for cleanings. All three came back clean and no cavities. Kendal went to basketball open gym that afternoon and then got to go to Kasota to swim and play with her young women's group. Peter was happy to be back with friends and swam at the Dansie's.
Thursday Casey and I were able to go to the Temple!! It's been so long and it was a treat to be able to get a nice date with Casey to such a special place.
Friday Casey had his dentist and eye appointments. The kids have been happy to be back playing with friends this past week. Casey took Peter and Kendal over to play with cousins while Alice napped, and I sported a headache and tried to nap.
Saturday Morning I went to a baptism for a little gal in our ward to represent the primary presidency. Casey took the kids over to Good Neighbor Days. The kids got to watch the community parade and then play around at the city park. They had water slides and bounce houses for the kids. I joined after the baptism and we got to walk around the vendors and music. We grabbed a free lunch and enjoyed the music for a bit. That evening we let the kids stay up and watch Loki then we sat on the balcony and watched fireworks. It was a good show and we're spoiled with the view we've got.
Today Kendal and Casey taught the lessons for their classes. Kendal also sang in sacrament meeting with the ward young women. Peter gave a talk in primary (Alice wanted to as well, and is disappointed she didn't get to ; ). After church we came out to Raft River to have a family dinner. It's become a monthly tradition and it's been nice to get together so often. Not going to lie it's busy, but the kids love it!
