On our way to Vegas

This morning the kids worked REALLY hard and we got our paper route done really quickly, packed up the van and headed to Vegas. We were all super happy to see Cleod and it's always fun to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house.



We have arrived. SO HOT!

Swimming

Thursday-Saturday Summary...

• We played at the park once, even though it was SO HOT! Sometimes you just have to get outside and run around.
• We went swimming Thursday and Friday afternoons. It was about 110 degrees out but we put tons of sunscreen on and everyone but Ryan made it without getting burnt. Ryan ended up getting close to Heat Exhaustion on Friday and took a 4 hour nap!
• Deni and the kids came swimming with us on Friday. The kids get along really well!
• Grandma and Grandpa helped Ryan pass off some Bear requirements. Grandma helped him make a paper hand and she bought his a robot which Grandpa helped him make.
• Grandma had bought Cleod a pirate ship model and with Ryan's scout stuff, Grant was feeling a little left out. He didn't complain but he was digging around Grandma's house trying to find something to do. Grandma was able to sit down with him on Friday while I took the other kids out and together Grant and Grandma make a little leather container for a compass. He was beyond proud of himself.
• The kids and I (minus Grant) went to DI and found tons of shirts for the boys as well as some awesome toys. We also went and got some yumminess from Nothing Bundt Cake.
• We rented the old Pete's Dragon...because Grandma told them they couldn't see the new one without watching the old one. Haha. We don't have plans to watch the new one just yet, but it got the kids excited to watch the old movie.



Helping with peach pie filling

• Saturday morning we went to Grandma and Grandpa's ward party. Pioneer Day is tomorrow so they had some pioneer games for the kids and there was a pie contest. Grandma made a yummy peach pie. Grandpa also made yummy sour dough pancakes too!
• After the ward party, the kids and I headed to St. George. We met Dad at Costco and went shopping for Rowley Reunion. I probably got 2/3 of the groceries purchased. Lots of work but I'm super excited. (And we're happy to see Daddy!)
• We went straight to the Warby's to celebrate Kianna's birthday which was Friday. We had a great visit with Brett and Deruchette and the kids, as always, had a great time together.
