The kids and I got to spend a week in Burley with my parents and my sisters. We had so much fun and did many things.
Some of the Highlighs were:
-going to lunch with my 2 sisters and mom kid free (thanks Ben for watching all 9 kids)
-Playing Armpit, even though I was the armpit most the game and had to give my good cards to Mandy most the game.
-Staying up late watching shows like Horders and House Hunters
-The Treasure Hunts
-Storybook park
-Having Carrol and Alisha and kids come over to play for a few hours
-Having another kid free lunch with Alisha, Carrol, Giselle, and Sara.
-Shopping and a Child's World
-Endless popsicles
-Abby and Maddie's family Home Evening lesson
-My sisters and I taking turns bouncing the kids on the tramp
-The whale baby swing breaking while Maddie was swinging and her legs were stuck in it while she hung upside down still swinging.
-Maddie, Abby, and Kaisa staying up till the wee hours of the morning talking and laughing when they should have been sleeping.
-Movie night watching the American Girl Molly movie
-The older girls constant talk of seeing fairies, building fairy homes, planning surprise parties, and trying to sell Grandma's cherries for 50 cents each.
-Ryan and Chloe fighting over "my" and "bobby" (Chloe would say my bobby, witch is her blanket and Ryan calls his brother my and his sister bobby)
-Setting out my grandparent's meals and being able to chat with them everyday I was there.
-Celebrating my Grandma Dora's birthday
