Party Weekend

 We packed a lot in last weekend. Friday night I took Chloe and Ainsley to the David Archuleta concert on campus. We had seats on the third row and then I got a ticket up in the bleachers, so the girls could be in the closer seats. However, when we arrived, my friend Janel was on the front row and they had extra seats, so I sat there with her. Eventually, the girls complained that they were too short and couldn't see over the people in front of them, so we traded and let them sit on the front row. They loved it. He gave a great concert and he's got such a good voice. We got Blizzards on the way home. 

 The next morning, after Kory and I had helped clean the church, we piled into the car and headed to Utah. We listened to some Greatest Showman tunes and basically sang and ate sunflower seeds.

Our first stop was the Surf-n-Swim in Layton, which is an indoor wave pool. We had so much fun playing in the waves for a couple of hours.

After eating at In n' Out, we checked into our hotel in Farmington and the kids wanted to go swim some more, so they swam for another hour or so.

After that, we visited my brother David's family in Layton and joined them for some cake and ice cream to celebrate Quinton's birthday. I forgot to take pictures! When we got back to the hotel, the girls wanted to go shopping. Kory went with the girls and I stayed with Caleb, who was complaining of an earache. After dosing him up with all the drugs we had handy, he tried a warm washcloth on his hear and was ingenious enough to tie it in place with his tie so he wouldn't have to hold it there. Kory also gave him a blessing and by morning he was feeling better. Later, Kory got some takeout from Zupas and we ate in our room.

 The kids had fun in their adjoining room watching the Disney channel and messing around.

Sunday morning we got ready, checked out, and went to sacrament meeting with David's family. I got to sit by Josh, Bronson, and Quinton and they kept me pretty entertained throughout the meeting. On the way home, we all pretty much conked out.

 That night was New Beginnings for Chloe, who will be in Young Women next month. They each got a white rose, and we had some delicious pie for treats. I had to include all of my pictures because you can see Kory trying to finish his pie. First one, mouth full, second, cleaning teeth, third, all smiles.

The kids loved getting away and they asked if we could do it every three months. Caleb said next time we need to stay for a week. On the way home we were talking about Johnny Lingo and realized they had never seen that show, so we watched it for Home Evening on Monday. (see below)
