This post will be working backward in time, to save me from having to spend hours rearranging all these photos. We've been having a great time...the guest list has grown and shrunk...we said goodbye to Justin this morning. It was great having him here! MB and I went to see Eclipse last night - I'm still on the fence. Twilight took me a while to deal with the music, New Moon was pretty good, Eclipse I think has me wishing more for the emotion than the action - but the guys will like it... MB took the girls over to Angie's yesterday for more swimming. We've been to Zion a couple of times, Megan got her Junior Ranger activities done and will get her badge tomorrow when we go. This photo is from Monday, when we took the girls to do the Temple of Sinawava trail. Lots of squirrels and fun in the water... and I have a fellow rock hound! I introduced Megan to my favorite rock shop in Springdale.
This photo was from Saturday morning when Logan and Ivy were leaving. We got everyone together for the first ever cousin picture! Guess who just woke up?
We had a fire and s'mores on Friday night ... there was marshmallow-y goodness everywhere!
We went to the river with everybody - including the neighbor, Jocelyn - on Friday. Tubing, floating, sandcastle building, tadpole catching ... who says fun is expensive?
This was from the Great Basin Ranger station... Ivy and Logan completed their activities and had to take the Junior Ranger oath!
We had a great time in Lehman Caves - our Ranger had lots of good stories about the cave, and Logan had to be the caboose (official title - flashlight holder) and Ivy had to make sure no one touched anything. They both did great... after Ivy got used to the tunnel!
"Helping" Uncle Andy get the lantern ready... Logan was not all that keen on helping with the cooking and cleaning parts (girl's work), even though Uncle Andy laughed and told him it was camping, so it wasn't that bad. The kids did great with the dogs, walking them a bunch and helping keep the tent clean.
Whew! I think we might take Megan and Madison to Shrek today, if I can find a theater still showing it... Mari comes tomorrow and we'll have the big 4th of July at the fire station on Saturday night. Fireworks! Can't wait...
