The last weekend of June thru the beginning of July we were on a mega vacay. It started with going to the Westside to go boating with Mike and his family. The next day we went swimming at Shannon's and Mike's since it was so hot. Amelia and Audrey got along really well at Shannon's, swimming together.
We went to Holly for the day. The kids explored the beach since the tide was at all time low, swam like crazy and hung out.
Next I took the kids up to Seal Rock to camp for the week. We took Uppa's tent trailer for the first time. It took a lot of teamwork and a LOT of time but between the boys and I we got it setup. We enjoyed a couple hikes, well Jacob and I enjoyed the hikes. The kids played out in the mud on a beach when the tide was out. Little did they know before they started that their feet were going to get all cutup from the the shells, but they had fun for about an hour before that happened. We all enjoyed sleeping in the tent trailer as opposed to the tent.
After we came home from camping we hung out at Umma and Uppa's. I took the kids to their first drive-in movie, Baby Boss 2. All the kids enjoyed it. I think they got a little cold but no one really complained. At least now they can say they have been to a drive-in. The next day was the 4th of July. In the morning we went for a hike a Staircase
and in the evening we went to Josh and Beth's house for a 4th of July party. All of the kids had so much fun playing with all the other kids. The kids played ladder golf and corn hole. Josh rented a bounce house that the big kids got to play in, and they didn't get to wild in it. There wasn't any fireworks once it got dark but we let the kids have screen time so they all went to Burton's room.
I asked each kid what their favorite part of the trip was, I allowed for a top three if they can't decide.
