Utah Trip Part 2

So our second part of the week started with a trip to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House in West Jordan, UT. It was so pretty and SO much fun to watch the boys and their reactions and questions to everything.



We then headed out to Tooele to our annual Lords' family reunion. We pulled up in front of Uncle Paul and Aunt Jen's house and found this:
The kids and adults were very quickly in love with the water slide! The littler kids played some Red Rover.....
And ring around the rosie.....
On Friday we headed to a park in Tooele. G-pa and G-ma introduced us to a new and fun game called Koob. It's a game the Vikings played. It is really fun! Here Sammy is trying to knock over the koob's. Anyhow, we are going to make a set of them! It's a great game for all ages!
There was some baseball and basketball. Here Comptyn is hitting the ball!
That evening we went to the Tooele Community Pool. WHAT A POOL! This is the little kid's pool that only gets 2 feet deep. They had life jackets and inner tubes for the kids to use, too. We had the whole pool reserved for our family only. It was FUN!
This is the water works area where the kids could turn the water on and off. To the left of it is part of the lazy river. It circles around.....
the water slide! WHAT A HIT! All of my kids went down this except Sammy. In fact, Sammy stayed in the kiddie pool the whole time. The current in this pool is too quick for him. Daniel finally when on it the last 15 minutes and did it 5 more times after that. It was deceivingly fast! It shoots you out pretty quick!
This part of the pool was for laps and diving and playing water basketball.
This is our whole family (minus Moe, Travis, Boyd and Karla....we missed you!) after Jordan's baptism.
It was a fun week! We are all exhausted and can't wait to do it all again! Sunday during church was quite rough! Kids need another day to catch up on rest and get back into a routine! Thanks everyone who made our week a lot of fun and filled with lots of memories!

Daddy started work today and kids start school 3 weeks from tomorrow.....back to the grind stone!

Looks like great fun - I don't know how you keep up with all the boys? I think the Lord knew what he was doing when he only gave me 1 of the boy kind! We are not ready for school to start at our house either - especially since Mara is moving out:(
