The Last Two Weeks, and Panguitch

Chick-fil-a had their annual dress like a cow and get a free meal day, but this year they had a contest on who came with the "biggest herd".  So we got everyone together and we WON!!!  So now we get a free catered event!
 I made Alyssa stand next to Adrienne...I can't believe Alyssa is as tall as Adrienne!  She is getting so tall!
 Adrienne came to visit and brought her friends Mandy, Amber and Mandy's 3 kids.  They all played great, but while Amber and Mandy were at the store and on their way home Jersey (Mandy's oldest) ran over Jagger (Mandy's middle guy) with the razor scooter and sliced Jagger's foot open.  So we spent part of the night at the ER.  Poor guy had to get 7 stitches.

 Alyssa was in the parade for Draper days with her cheer squad. 
 We made it to one store while they were here (literally about 5 minutes before they closed).


TRIP TO PANGUITCH
We started out at Bryce Canyon while we waited for the team BBQ that night.  The kids had a blast, but it was a little too steep for me.  As I was walking up the the ledge I saw the team of boys next to the ledge and as I was yelling "Mikesell boys get away from the edge" Brock jumped....I screamed (because I thought he was going to die) and then I saw his head pop up...(I didn't realized there was another ledge to jump on.  Long story short, I couldn't handle anymore after that.  So I stayed back at the car and worked while they hiked.
 Gentry got some great videos of each day, and I did a terrible job of taking pictures.  The boys won their first game 21-4, lost their 2nd and 3rd game....which gave us Friday to play a little bit more.

All the baseball teams got to be in the parade.  The parade was really fun for all the kids. They got lots of candy and the firetruck sprayed them lots.  They had a blast.

 Oakli was there with her family which made it nice for Alyssa.  She was so glad to have another girl there.
 Panguitch even made banners for the team with all the team names too!


 One of the coaches had his little boys and his wife was with the older Riverton team in California, so a few of us helped out a little bit with his little guy.




 Gentry was super excited to rent this ATV for the day.  The kids LOVED IT!
 My favorite part of the trip was horseback riding!  The kids loved it too.  My parents came with us for this.





 Since it was only a 4 seater I stayed back at the cabin...which turned out to be OK because they got SOOO dirty!



 I had so much going on with work the whole week that I ended up leaving a day early to get some stuff done.  Alyssa wanted to come home with me.  My parents drove us home early.  Gentry and the boys ended up going fishing the next day.  Brock ended up catching a flip flop.  Apparently no fish to be caught for the Mikesell family.
