4th of July Fun

We had a really fun weekend. On Friday afternoon we headed for Utah. That night we went to Cherry Hills with my brother and sister-in-law and their two kids. It was so much fun. The kids really enjoyed it too. The lazy river was the favorite for us. We put all of the boys in tubes and went around several times. They weren't so sure at first, but they warmed up to it. As we were leaving Matt, Paige and Kayla went down the dragon waterslide several times. They loved it. I was amazed at how well the boys did. Collin wasn't feeling to well, and he still did pretty good.


Saturday we took the girls to Toy Story 3. It was so good. We all loved it. After the movie, we took the girls back to Matt's parents house and left all of the kids with them, and Matt and I went down to Provo with his brother and sister-in-law and then met up with his twin and his wife. We went to dinner at Los Hermanos. Yummy!!!!!!!! Then we headed to the Stadium of Fire to see Carrie Underwood. I was so excited. We have had the tickets for awhile and I was so excited to go. The concert was so incredibly good. I think I sang along to every song she sang. Then at the end we watched the fireworks. It was so much fun.


Sunday we stayed and went to church with Matt's parents and then most of the family came for dinner. It was fun to see everybody. When it got dark enough we went outside and did fireworks. The girls loved it. I tried to keep the boys awake long enough to see them, but with no afternoon nap, I just couldn't take any more whining. So they missed the fireworks, but like Matt said, they won't remember them anyways.




Yesterday morning we got up and loaded the car and headed for home. We were minus 2 passengers, because we left the girls for the week at Grandma and Grandpa Nielson's. They were so excited and they will have lots of fun. It is awfully quiet here today. I am so used to having them around and now I realize how busy they keep me. I am sure by the end of the week I will be ready to have them home. It should be another fun filled weekend, because when they get home we will be celebrating the boy's 2nd birthday. I can't believe they will be 2 in 5 days. Time flies when you're having fun.

Sounds like lots of fun! I just barely heard about Cherry Hill about 2 weeks ago and I bet my kids would love it. Do you go there a lot? I ate at Los Hermanos once. It is yummy. How fun to get to celebrate and see family but also have a date night on the same trip.
