Daddy was going to be Trekkin' for four whole days, so the kids and I were on our own to entertain ourselves. We started out our adventures with an afternoon of swimming with our good friends the Ellsworths. We swam and played for almost six hours with these wonderful people!
And it tuckered us out! Our mornings were slow, since we had only our own schedule to maintain. I love lazy summer mornings in front of cartoons. :)
On Thursday we had Aunt Jenny, Isabelle, Eli, and Ava meet us at the pool for another afternoon of swimming. But after we were done swimming, the kids weren't done partying! So we stopped at McDonald's for some 59 cent ice cream cones, and then the kids came home with me and played the rest of the afternoon away on the slip'n'slide.
By the time Friday rolled around, we were missing our Ellsworth friends, so we met them in Ogden at the Treehouse Museum. It was a blast! Sophie got to participate in the "participlay" as a crow, and she did a spectacular job! Joey and I followed the kids around while they made art, pretended they were POTUS, constructed buildings, and ran diners. It was an absolute blast!
Finally, Saturday came and our Daddy was coming home! We knew he was going to be hot, sweaty, and dirty...and we could only assume that he would be needing a good home-cooked meal. So the kids and I worked all day on some Moochie's-style meatball subs. When he finally walked in the door, we were all overjoyed! He definitely looked the part of the pioneer, but we were so glad he was off the trail and home again!
And dinner was incredible, if I do say so myself! Danny had an amazing time at Trek, and we had a really good four days at home. But I'm not going to lie...I'm totally okay that Trek won't be for another four years! :)
