Here's just most of the random pictures - mostly involving condo time. Or driving. We switched Lottie's seat around for this drive, hoping it would make it easier for her. It was good that she could see the TV but she also didn't fall asleep as easy. She finally did get some shut eye about an hour before we got there.
Oh, this girl was HAPPY to be outside. She tried to escape the door EVERY time and didn't ever want to come back in. This was our first walk while we waited for Brooke and crew to make it.
All the kids played outside for a couple hours while Brooke and I went and got the groceries for the week. We had yummy spaghetti and a tasty meat sauce and I took annoying dinner pictures.
The kids were DYING to swim so after dinner we made our way over. And Lottie looked TOO cute in her little swimsuit, so I took a lot of pictures. And she is growing out of baby-ness and so I'm trying to steal all the pictures I can of her!
Harvey found this game on Amazon awhile ago - "Don't step in it". I saw it before we left and it was $10. I thought it would be fun to have a few indoor options of things to do. It was a big hit!
Saturday after our hike, Lottie took a nap and Brooke and Jake took the kids to the Thunder Junction park while Tanner golfed. I joined them after she woke up. The park was a flipping ZOO! Sooo many people. The kids still seemed to have fun and we wandered through a little garden after and it was fun.
Then home and more swimming and bed time shenanigans!
The next day was St. Patrick's Day. Luckily they went to sleep pretty quick AFTER they finally slowed down. So we hid some dollar bills around (I knocked over a metal thing into the fireplace and it was SOOO loud - no one even stirred). They were wiped out. So in the morning Harvey came looking to see if the leprechaun hid a pot. He walked by the kitchen table a few times before he realized it was just sitting out in the wide open :) It had some green drinks and fruit by the foot and some candy's and matching socks for everyone.
And a killer poem written by the leprechaun. Haha.
So then everyone went on the hunt for their five dollar bills.
I really wanted a pic of everyone together wearing their socks and these little goofy hats I bought. But pretty soon after the hunt, etc, it was time to get ready for church. We just went to sacrament meeting and then came home and went to Gunlock Falls.
Dinner was corned beef and cabbage and it was YUMMY! All the kids did pretty good eating it too!
Then we did some bingo and coloring :) I think we swam after Gunlock too, actually.
The TV and DVD player don't really work that great so we improvised - trying to calm them down for a maybe earlier bedtime. It didn't really work :)
The next day we did Snow Canyon. Brooke and Jake left after that. We hung out at the condo. Played some games. Ate dinner. The kids finished off dad's ice cream. We scootered and biked and walked around while Lottie slept and the weather was perfection.
The next morning we went to the children's museum. And then made the trek home. Oh man it was SUCH a fun little trip. MUCH needed sunshine and exercise and playing and outdoors and all good things. The kids played great together. I LOVED being there with Brooke. It was just so so fun.
