Friday, Ashton and Emry went to do baptisms with Blake and Leah. I watched Bowen and Cadence. Bow and Calum played video games and were in heaven together!! Cadence played barbies with Armin, which he kinda secretly liked!!
Monday night after Jared was home from work we took the gang out boating at Little Bow. They had a blast! We went to a beach where Bow and Cadence could play since Bow wasn't a fan of going on the tube! Ashton and Calum had a riot tubing together! Ashton got some good air and landed it upright even!! It was spectacular!! The sky that night was stunning and so calm, not a breath of wind! We headed in after the sun went down. Myrna's car had locked on her before she was able to get her keys out. We knew this before going on the boat and decided to just have fun anyway and deal with it later!! On our way home we all piled in our truck, and found out it is really very roomy!! We got the other set of keys for Myrna's car and the next morning I drove her back to the park to pick up her car!
Tuesday, Myrna and I took the kids to Lethbridge to meet up with Rachel and her crew to go to the Henderson water park! Again, everyone had a great time riding the slides, climbing the climbing wall and just swimming! It was a very hot day which made being at the pool a great way to spend it!
Wednesday, Emry and I had hair appointments in the morning and then later that afternoon we took all the kids down to the beach at Little Bow! Ashton and Bowen brought little blow up rafts and Armin had a blast with those!! Calum played in the sand and Cadence sunbathed with Emry in the shade and then we were all treated to an ice cream cone by Grandma!!
Thursday, Myrna had to work at the temple so I had the kids for the afternoon and evening! Calum, Cadence and I headed into Lethbridge to get parts for Jared so he could fix the wheel bearings on the boat. Ashton, Emry, Bowen and Armin stayed home and played video games and built things with Lego! That evening Emry and Ashton went to a youth BBQ at the Bishop's house while I took the other kids out for pizza and to the park to play! At 8:30pm the Recreation Board was showing one final outdoor movie for the summer, they were playing the latest Pirates of the Caribbean. Jared met us up there for the show and stayed with the older kids while I took Armin and Cadence home to go to bed! They all said the movie was great, even Calum who gets scared quite easily!! He did however fall asleep for the last hour of the movie. Jared said he was laying on his back, Ashton was using his tummy as a pillow and after the show when they all stood up to leave there was Calum still laying on the ground out cold!!
Friday, Myrna and I took the kids into Lethbridge where we met up with Rachel and her kids again to watch Captain Underpants at the Movie Mill! On our way there though I blew a tire on the van! So I pulled over into the ditch and we waited until Myrna got our message and came back with her crew in her car!! We split the kids up into different cars so it wouldn't be such a loud ride!!! I also called Jared and asked ever so sweetly if he would come and fix my tire while we took the kids to the movie, we still had enough time to make it, even with a blown tire!! So we all piled into Myrna's car. Jared was able to fix it while we were at the show, which was actually a good movie! Even Cadence sat through it!! Bowen had read the books and loved every minute of the show!! Emry was gone with Lily and Grandpa Glen for girls club so we only had the two little girls and five boys!! We took up a whole row in the theatre!! After the movie we headed to McDonald's for supper, we also met Jared there!!
Saturday, the dreaded last day :( everyone had been having so much fun. Just minor spats would happen but nothing serious! We decided it was a day we needed to spend at the lake, one last hurrah! The only problem was so did everyone else!!! The lake was very busy with lots of boats!! Making the water very choppy, but great for tubing!! We were able to find a nice enough beach where Cadence, Myrna, Char and I stayed. We watched while Bowen and Blake swam out into the lake and Ashton and Calum went past on the tubes. It was a fun afternoon and even though it took us until almost dark to get the boat out of the water, everyone had the same thought at the same time to leave!! It was so worth it!!
It was great spending the week with cousins! And even though both Myrna and I were worn out by the end we had lots of fun. Making memories with cousins is by far the best memories to make!!
The kids had such a great time and ask almost every day when they can visit again. I can't thank you and Jared enough for all your help that week taking care of my kids. I didn't worry once, I knew they were in great hands!! Lalainia
