So on Sunday night we drove to Pocatello to visit Vanessa and to go to Lava on Monday. We had the best time playing, talking and eating banana pudding. On Monday we drove to the pool and set up camp. Vanessa brought her big shade which was essential because there wasn't much shade and all the kids turned into water babies. Weeks of swim lessons have really paid off. The biggest surprise were these two great water slides that looked very intimidating but landed in a trough of water. We wondered if the kids would go for it. They LOVED them. The rest of the day Vanessa and I traded swimming for water slide chaperoning. Grandma Christy was wonderful to help with Paige and Meg. We couldn't get her to water slide either because she didn't want to temp fate with her toe. There was a sign of caution for pregnant women--Vanessa told me to suck in. No one said anything. We all forgot our cameras so we don't have any proof of our brave kids going down water slides and doing bobs in the water but we had a wonderful time. And it's officially the family reunion next year--we can't wait.
The kids have had a summer that dreams are made out of. Parades, swimming and Lagoon; all in one day! James had some free passes to Lagoon but we had to go on the same day our kids were marching in the Days of '47 Youth parade. So after marching 6 long blocks in 90 degree weather we headed to Farmington. It was hot but we went to Lagoon-a-beach about half way through the day and cooled off. I was best friends with the lazy river. Addie love the Lady Bop drop and Benji liked Bulgy the Whale. Paige rode the merry go round and the train and of course her stroller. James bounced back with them on the 24th of July for more rides but I was ready to sit around and talk and eat so I headed up to the cabin with Paige. The Kamas fitness center has a great water slide too. Tom said to lay down and only let your heels and shoulder blades touch and you'll go really fast. Being pregnant I went fast anyway. It was so much fun and thanks Kim for the wonderful food you made. And thanks Heather for food Paige would eat. She has been so particular about what she'll eat or not--I'm always looking for something.
James and I just celebrated our 9th anniversary. A few days after my wedding ring broke. The casing that holds the diamond popped off the band. We celebrated by eating a whole pound of See's truffles and going out to dinner at Ruth's diner-- up Immigration Canyon. I'm so lucky to have him as a husband. This pregnacy has been so hot and he has listened and been so patient with all my commentary (complaining) about the weather, ligaments, and other maternity woes.
