The day after Kohen's birthday is my Dad's birthday so we got to go have dinner with him and make some homemade ice cream too! His best friend, Clint, came up from Aurora and we all celebrated his 61st birthday together.
The next day I got to go hang out with my cousins at McKenna's house. Natasha and her 5 kids are visiting Utah right now and it's been 5 years since they last came so it was fun to be able to see all of them!
Even stopped for some Zeppes while we were up there.
I made it back home in time for Book Club that night at Kelsey's house. We had read a book called The Language of Flowers and Kelsey is incredible and had a whole bunch of different flowers at her house for each of us to make a bouquet to take home with us! It was such a fun night.
The next day the kids decided they were going to live outside from now on. They spent most of the day playing in the backyard and then asked to sleep out there too. The last 2 summers they've tried sleeping on the tramp they haven't made it through the night. This year they slept UNDER the tramp and stayed out there all night! I don't know how good of an idea it really was though because they were eaten alive by bugs!
We also got to go see Camden perform as Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka for a summer theater class he took. It was super cute.
Kasen got to go on his Grammy date to Fat Cats and to a fun primary activity with a waterslide so he's packed in lots of fun before school starts on Wednesday!
Kyle gave each of the kids a Back to School Father's blessing and since Kasen is 8 now he got to come with us to the Saratoga Springs Temple dedication. He was super bored, but maybe he'll look back one day, remember it and be glad he got to go. Who knows! Heidi watched the other kids for us and it was the first time we've ever left Kolt.
We went on one last hike before school starts. Heidi and Kelsey came with us and we ate donuts at Donut Falls! It was only 1.5 miles out and back, but we had to use a rope to climb down a few big rocks and all the kids ended up getting their shoes all wet, but it was worth it! 10 kids and Tai was the only girl. lol
Poor Kohen woke up one morning with super red, swollen eyes. We took him to the doctor and they guessed it was a histamine allergy thing and told us to give him Zyrtec. It cleared up after a few days, but we have no idea what caused it.
Eww... That was a close one!
One of the days I was getting so ready to send the kids back to school! They had had friends over, there was paint and playdoh, crumbs, cards and crying all over the house and then they told me how bored they were!! Please tell me what more you need to be entertained.
Personally, I think we had a fantastic summer together! Made some core memories for sure.
