Such a busy week! Joey reported to Camp Raymond on Sunday, Mackenzie is headed to girls camp, Zach is going to comic-con for a few days at the end of the week, which leaves Ashley and Travis here on their own. Oh, well. They are adults. They will figure it out!
With Joey and Kenzie busy for the week, I thought about it and decided I wanted to do something too! Britt and I played around with the idea of going to Salt Lake and doing Lagoon and what better time to go than the same week the little ones are busy! If Joey continues to go to Raymond I think this might become a tradition.
We bought our tickets and we left the same day Mackenzie headed up to camp! ME being the most responsible person in the world forgot my drivers license!!! They finally let me board with my insurance card! (Yeah, I called Travis as soon as I could and he promised he would send my Drivers License to Jeff's house ASAP!)
We flew into Provo and then took the FrontRunner into Bountiful where Jeff and his little family picked us up! They are so cute! They talked and talked the whole night. They didn't know our names but they called us friends. 'My friend this, her did that'. So cute!!! I can't wait to be a Grandma!!!
Their front room window looks up to the Bountiful temple! It is so beautiful!!! And the girls had a lot to say about it! They went on and on about how Moroni got hurt and had a hole in his back. A few weeks ago lightening struck the Moroni statue on the Bountiful temple and it needed to be replaced. The Meridian temple was not ready for theirs yet so Bountiful got it. and the girls were so excited that Moroni was better! If life were only that easy!!!
The next morning we woke up and Jeff called me into his office (He works at home). He was so cute, concern all over his face. Apparently I did not plan very well after all and it turns out that Lagoon opens the next day! I talked with Britt and we decided to play in Salt Lake for the day instead.
WE went to Temple Square, Joseph Smith memorial, the conference center, and then to the mall for shopping and lunch. Jeff picked us up early and we headed back to his house, stopping to get a kiddie pool first. We set it up and the girls and I played in the water while Britt had a nap. It was so nice catching up with Jeff. I really miss not having him closer!!! And he is so cute with his girls! They had the best time showing off, trying so hard to not to get wet in the pool, and enjoying having someone new capturing their attention. And honestly, I loved it too! Did I mention I cannot wait to be a Grandma?
Lagoon was the next day and I had a great time with Britt! The lines were short enough that even though we only had four hours to play, we still accomplished all we wanted to. We even caught the FrontRunner back into Provo. Funny, I had never seen Salt Lake that way before. It was very cool! (I barely got my drivers license in time!)
And, to top the whole night of, we ended our trip with a four hour delay!!! We did not get home until probably 1 am. Luckily Mackenzie wouldn't be home until the next afternoon.
And I did get a glimpse of Travis before he headed up to Flagstaff that morning to get Joey! It was a great little trip and I am so in love with those two girls!!!! My parents are headed up next week to see them and I hear they have a big surprise, I kind of have an idea but I will keep that to myself for now!!!
Britt's favorite ride!
Special thanks to my awesome sister who took these wonderful pictures!!!
She loved adventure day the most and but really she loved everything about it. She loved her leaders and said they were a lot of fun! One was Marie Montgomery, the 1st counselor in Stake Primary to my second. Wonderful lady!!!
