We only have a few more weeks until school starts so we are trying to fit in as much fun as we can before we are back on a schedule.

• I went to go find this really cool park I heard about in Cedar Hills on Tuesday but my directions obviously weren't very good and I couldn't find it and the kids were pretty disappointed so we stopped by Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point on the way home. We hadn't been there in a while so the kids enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I could tell Bodee started a fever while we were there and wasn't feeling very well. Sad, because he usually LOVES animals and didn't enjoy it as much as he normally would have.
• We got to the farm just in time for the cow milking. Both Addy and Brynn got to milk the cow. Very cool!

• The kids had a late-over with their cousins Ellie and Sage on Thursday night. The girls were SO EXCITED for their cousins to come over and waited all day for them to arrive. 
• Back in May I bought a Chuck E. Cheese deal which expired this month. I thought this would be the perfect night to use it with the cousins with us, so we all went over to Chuck E. Cheese to play. Of course the kids had a wonderful time. Bodee really liked to put the money in machines...and then walk away:) 

• Once we finished up at Chuck E. Cheese we stopped by the park on the way home and then made ice cream sundaes! 

• Friday evening we babysat some of the neighbor kids (and we'll swap later this month:) Here are all the kids watching a movie with Aliya and Brad! (Brynn loves Aliya and considers her as her best friend!) 

• Saturday morning we volunteered to clean the church. It was a great service opportunity for our children and of course we're happy to take our turn. The girls helped clean the windows, doors, bathrooms, and vacuum.
• After cleaning the church the kids chose to go the the outdoor Lehi pool. The outdoor pool is only open for one more month so we were happy to take them. This time Brynn not only jumped off both diving boards but then swam by herself to the side of the pool. Go Brynn! She even did a flip off the low dive too!
• Saturday night we were invited to Trent and Whitney's pool at their clubhouse. It was quite the swimming day:) The kids loved playing with their cousins Jane and Grant and we even stayed to eat ice cream after we swam. Let's just say the kids were VERY tired by Saturday night. That's okay...that meant we all had a Sunday afternoon nap:)
