Monday- The Keslers arrived. We went to JC Penney that night to use our 35% discount and bought some fun stuff. The kids were WILD and so it was quite an event.
Tuesday- We went to Winco (our favorite grocery store with their awesome bulk foods). We picked up some pizzas and took them to Rancho San Rafael park and ate and played. We got to see some geese, ducks, tadpoles and other creepy crawleys. That night Phil and Michelle played raquetball. I'm excited to report that the former raquetball champion at BYU, Michelle, won one game and my non-raquetball champion husband, won the other. Way to hold your own Philly-Vanilly.
Wednesday- We went to Donner Lake. The water was FREEZING! And we forgot our cameras so no pictures :( The kids enjoyed playing on the playground and making sandcastles.
Thursday- We did a treasure hunt for the kids. We hid little clues for the kids and they searched for them around the house and yard. They were SUPER excited. We also made the most delicious carameled apples EVER! I've decided to do them again because they were just so yummy.
The crazy treasure hunters
Posing like pirates
Hot on the hunt
They found the TREASURE!!!
Friday- WILD ISLAND water park. Phil scored some free tickets from one of his former employees that works there on the weekends. We then paid for our neighbor, Keely, to come with us so that she could help out with the kids and take them on rides. It was a blast. Kaylin was tall enough to go on about half the rides and she was fearless. So were her cousins, Sydney and Gavin. We stayed for about 4 hours and were exhausted at the end. We stopped at In-and-Out to eat and then got home and got ready to go on a date with our husbands. Andrew, Michelle's husband, flew in around 7 PM so once he got home we took off. Thanks Keely for watching the kids, again! :) For our date we checked out "Hot August Nights" (car show) at the Grand Sierra Resort. It was cool to walk around and not have the kids there.
Saturday- We went to a primary water party in the morning which Gavin said "was the BEST day EVER!" The kids had fun playing with TONS of bubbles, running through a soaker hose, playing with water balloons and doing relay races. After the activity, we headed up to Kings Beach for the afternoon. It was beautiful and we enjoyed laying around in the sun and eating. At night we did smores and a BBQ and played games. It was great having them here and we were sad to see them go!

I'd give the purse a thumbs down. Hello Colonel Mustard, is that where you hide the candlestick. Pick's purse (or should I say bag) isn't all that great either. What do you need huge purses for when you are out on the town without the kids. Did you still have an extra diaper in there? Why not a cute "handbag". Shall I call the fashion police?
From your self-proclaimed fashionista brother Nathan. (Hope you catch the sarcasm. . .BTW, the term fashionista can be applied equally to males and females, I looked it up. I would suggest that most male fashionistas could be categorized as quasi-male. Hence I could never be a fashionista.)
so rude nater! hey i love you thanks sooooo much for the fun time, the kids and andrew and i had so much fun.
So jealous! Wish we could have played - LOVE Kaylin's wink!!
Haha!! Well Bec, I LIKE your purse!! I think it's a fashionista purse for sure! :) And I would have to say I'm a little better at fashion than Nathan (sorry Nater...). I wish we could have been there--sucks being poor!! Ah!
Um treasure hunt pics--you couldn't remove the redeye? For shame! :)
what a fun-filled week you guys had! I wish I could have flown in for the week and played with you all. What a cute idea to do a treasure hunt!!!! Let's do that at the cabin next time. Speaking of the cabin...it is sure empty and not as fun without all of you guys! We had friends in from Michigan who spent a night with us at the cabin. they loved all the pictures on the wall of fame! We were so proud to show you all off to them! and boy is the playground so sad and empty! Miss you all! We even miss Mr. Sarcastic non fashionista Nater!
