Last Week of Off Track!

I tried to make this off track time fun for the kids.  Adrienne and her kids came up Saturday night.  The kids swam Saturday and Sunday.

Adrienne wanted me to cut and color her hair.  She decided to go ALL THE WAY and chop it off!  I told her to make an ugly/sad face for her "before" pic.  I loved her new do so much I had to copy!
My straight version of the short cut.
 Alyssa wanted to join the fun, so we added some melting highlights to her ends.
Tuesday we took the kids to Seven Peaks.  We bought passes last fall, and Adrienne hadn't been able to use them yet.  It was perfect weather and not many people were there yet.
 I went to a chiropractor a few days ago and he said I needed to get rid of my suitcase aka purse.  He suggested a backpack....so I found this at Victoria's Secret...just following Doctor's orders.
Wednesday we took the kids to  Trafalga.  We had tried to take them to Classic, but when we got to Classic there was a whole field trip going on and it was way too crowded.  So we decided to try Classic on Thursday.

 Boston and Tenli wanted to ride together. 
 The kids all came off the ride SOAKED!


 Locklyn was the best little baby.  She just hung out and watched the kids in the stroller.

 We took the kids to Del Taco on the way home.  Gentry and Alyssa were meeting us there, but Gentry thought I said the Del Taco on 106th instead of 126th.  He swore I told him wrong...thank goodness I had Adrienne listening in...He went to the wrong place and met us a few minutes later.
 Thursday we took the kids to Classic.  It worked perfect.  No crowds that day!
 Alyssa and Bailee rollerskated with the babies in the strollers.  They are such a big help!
We are the Moms that survived it all! And we feel like we should win an award for taking them all these fun places...ha ha.
The last day Adrienne was here, the kids were downstairs watching TV....Boston for some reason decided to throw his light saber and it hit the plasma TV...and broke it.  The next day I found a dollar in my purse from him.  I think he felt bad.


 Saturday Alyssa got to go with the Young Men and Young Women to do the temple walk.  They walked 15.2 miles from the Draper temple to the Jordan River Temple to the Oquirrh Mountain temple.  She did great, but she said her knee was killing her.
 My Mom and Dad drove by them as they were walking and my Mom got these two pics of Alyssa.



 We were excited to cheer them on when they got to the Oquirrh Mountain temple.
 After the temple walk the kids wanted to come back and swim.  Bridger was over at our house for a little bit and the boys were in heaven.  They love their cousin!
 Alyssa and Lexi swam for a while after the temple walk.  I don't know how they had any energy!
 Earlier on Saturday Cyndy had taken the boys to her house to play with Bridger for a little bit.  They went through Gentry's old stuff and found some "cool" gear.  Brock of course has to wear it all.
