Kind of last minute, I decided to take the kids and run away to College Station to be with Aunt Sarah who will soon leave for BYU and to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa. We'd been waiting for a time for dad to join us but school starts next week and the opportunity wasn't going to present itself so we just went. Here are some of the highlights:
The kids dressed up. They always do, I think Lindsey wore this princess dress more than any of her other clothing. At this particular moment, A Dragon (Kaitlyn) was chasing a Princess (Lindsey) who was protected by a Knight (Sam).
And we swam--a lot! 3 separate times in 2 days. It was so nice to be able to put Matthew down for a nap and let the other 3 keep swimming! It was fun for Sarah and Grandma to see how much they all had progressed in their swimming. They even surprised me by jumping off the decorative rocks into the deep end--even Sam who just started swimming this summer was all into it!
Lindsey enjoyed swimming too, even though she wasn't all into the jumping stuff. She's a cutie and will have those floaties off by next summer for sure!
We enjoyed a Family Home Evening lesson about some of our favorite "water" stories from the scriptures, and Sam wowed me with his sponge like ability to remember details from scripture stories he's only heard once--geesh he's bright! And the boys enjoyed wrestling with Grandpa:
It's just so nice to go and visit and get away, we always enjoy our time there. Thank you grandma, grandpa and Sar--we had a great time!
