Cousin Week

Christy and her family have been here all week and we've had a blast doing so many fun things with cousins. The girls have been in heaven going from activity to activity, although my house has been very neglected this week it's been so fun.  Whenever Christy is up here I usually have to work so this was my first time really being able to do all the fun things with everyone and I was soo happy I didn't have to work this year.

We went to the Monte L Bean museum which has been renovated and is so fun.  My girls loved looking at all the animals and probably don't realize they aren't alive but maybe their favorite part was the little slide/play area which is tiny but they love.  We ate at the Cougareat for lunch...memories.  I hadn't been there in sooo long.

One evening we went up the canyon for dinner and smores.  The girls loved throwing rocks into the river and they even survived going potty in a 'camping bathroom' of which I barely survived having to take them.

We went to the new Curiosity Museum at Thanksgiving Point which I think Jaron had more fun then anyone there.  Kidding, everyone had a great time but Jaron was in love with this water table and threw a fit when I took him out.  Then the little crawling areas they had he was in love climbing all over and even learned how to go up the steps and down a little slide.

I might have lost the girls once for about 3 minutes when they ran off to climb up a jungle thing with their cousins and I didn't see them leave.  I was panicked at the thought they were freaking out and couldn't find me but of course when I looked up and saw them up here they were smiling and waving and didn't know I had just run upstairs to the front desk wondering if anyone had 'turned them in'

We also went to Classic Skate water park.  The girls love the little pool and slides and it's so nice to always have a cousin there to catch you as you come down.

I even made it to a movie with my sisters to see The Fault in our Stars one night.  Loved it and luckily I only got a little teary, not the messy cry that I thought I would be.

Only once this week did Siena wake up and when I told her we were going to play with cousins did she say 'no cousins today mom, just family'  ha ha, she was more then excited to see the cousins anyways.

Tomorrow is one last family dinner before the Brian's head back home and boy is next week going to seem boring after the fun week we've had.
