Grandma and Papa's

The first week in August Brent was able to take a couple days off work and we visited Grandma and Papa Weight in Heber City. The girls had so much fun just playing outside and running around with the cousins. It was so pleasant to be outside on the grass and on the swing set (and not burning ourselves or melting any body part on the swings). Brent actually helped mow a lawn (his dad's) for the first time since leaving Michigan. (and he enjoyed the riding mower). He also enjoyed letting all the cousins mercilessly hose him down in a water fight. (He started it by getting a little crazy with the slip and slide action.)

The annual boat trip was sidelined a little because of some serious barf action. Poor Cami barfed something like 11 times and pooped several times in the period of about six hours. She was such a trooper for such a vial bug and the good part was it didn't last long and we didn't get it (although pretty much everyone else in the house did). After she had been barf/poop free for a few hours she still really wanted to go for a boat ride and Taryn had been wearing her suit all morning. I figured a 20 minute boat ride would not dehydrate her a lot more than she all ready was. We headed out and Cami rode in the boat and Taryn on the tube (thanks to Michele and Steph for riding with her). Taryn had such a blast that it was totally worth the $10 entrance fee for 20 minutes of fun. Her face was priceless. She has such a big sparkly infectious smile. Next year maybe Cami will be up to riding it.

The other highlights were going to Thanksgiving Point (of course we couldn't go to Grandmas house without the girls BEGGING to go), visiting our good friends the Francoms, visiting the open house to the new temple, and going bowling.

Taryn on her Thanksgiving Point pony ride. She held on by herself the whole time despite me being a little nervous that she would totally bite it.


Cami on her pony ride. She was really excited and had a TON of fun. She purposely chose the second biggest horse (her Natalie wanted the bigger one) and she was not at all scared. Way to go cow girl Cami!

Taryn, Cami, Natalie, and Jake in the jail at the petting farm...next time the sign says don't feed the animals I bet they won't!

Then again, they busted out so maybe they will...

Cami LOVES bowling...She got a great score with the ramp assist and bumpers...Two spares and a strike. No wonder she loves it!
