At the beginning of July Grandpa, Auntie Kirsten, and cousins came to visit! We had so much fun with them and were able to do lots of fun things. I sadly didn't document the visit very well, but did get some good pictures. The girls just loved having all the attention and watching their older cousins. We totally messed with the girls' normal nap/bedtime routine and they both had little colds, but they did wonderfully and we were all able to enjoy everything. We wish we could see them all more often, but we are so grateful that they came to visit and spend time here in Utah!
Preston and Uncle Leigh had tons of fun playing video games and computer games.
One morning, we braved the hot weather, and hiked the Y! Yes, there were 6 kids and 4 adults. Yes, we took a stroller. Yes, we made it to the top. But, it was NOT easy! We all took turns pushing the stroller, which had Kendal and either Tessa or Eva in it the entire time. Lyla got the backpack, which was nice and sweaty. We got lots of comments--basically saying that we were crazy, but in nicer words like brave and impressed. The picture above was from the hike, and the one below is from when we were in Guatemala. I think I need to get my bangs back...and that tan...and lose that baby weight.
Kirsten and I. Again, the picture above was from the hike. And the one below was from Guatemala. When we were taking this picture up the Y I immediately thought of this picture from Guatemala (almost 3 years ago). Kirsten still looks just as fabulous!
Back to the hike, it was gruesome. The kids were real troopers--we had some tough times, but when we got to the top it was like they hadn't just hiked 1.2 miles up a mountain. They were full of energy again. The adults, not so much.
Kendal was there, I swear. She fell asleep in the stroller on the way up so didn't get out at the top. After the hike we went for a well deserved Costa Vida lunch.
Kirsten and I were able to take the kids up to a cemetery in SLC where Leigh's Nana and Grandpa (the girls' Great Nana & Great Grandpa) are buried.
We also made it up to Temple Square!
We also went to Seven Peaks, the pool at the hotel, helped Tio Ian and Aunt Emily move in to their new home here, met baby Rubye, ate lots of yummy food, and enjoyed playing.
