This post is WAY overdue as all of this took place during July!!!! Chris' sister Nickie and her two girls, Lexi and Chloe came out for a visit and we were able to have lots of fun with them amidst moving into our new home and traveling back and forth to Burley several times!
One of the first things we did was throw a SMASHING Dora birthday party for 2 year old Chloe at Grandpa and Grammie Grafs'!!!!
Chris got together with his G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S sistahs for a photo op.... (and I must say he looks quite dashing himself!!!)
Then Grammie and Grandpa took a turn practicing their SILLY FACES....
Nickie, Shawnae and the girls came back with us to our house for a few days during which we visited the Rexburg Splash Park at Porter Park! AWESOME!!!! It took everyone a little while to "brave" into the water and actually play but once they got the idea they were hooked! Lexi started a sandwich baggie revolution in which she used an empty sandwich bag to collect water from the spray fountains and then dump it. Before we knew it almost EVERY kid at the place (and there were a TON) were running around with plastic baggies full of water! It was pretty hilarious!!!
Do you like Olivia's mismatched bathing suit???? She dressed herself!
Chloe had fun be-bopping around with the big kids
Afterwards we dried off and rode the carousel, which all the kids LOVED and Olivia talked about for the REST of the summer!!!! I think we'll be making several trips to Rexburg for summer fun next year!!!
What's next after running around like crazy? SNO CONES of course!!!! There's this place in Rexburg that has DELICIOUS sno cones and we all treated ourselves to extra cream!!!
Back on the homefront we enjoyed some more splash fun naked-style!!! Olivia and Chloe stripped down to their "birthday suits" and Nickie and I cracked up laughing when we looked out the window!!!
We headed back down to Burley to bring Auntie Nickie back to Grammie and Grandpa's and had another fun pool party with Auntie Nickie's friends and their kids! We also chowed down on pizza and leftover birthday cake! Thanks for including us Nickie!!!
The next week we went down to Provo and enjoyed a blasting hot day at Seven Peaks Water Park!
All the kids showing their muscles!!!
Lazy River float....
Lazy mommy and tired out Livy rest on a tube while everyone finishes the day at the wave pool...
Chloe finally tuckered out!!!! Grammie puts on Chloe's soaked hat to cool down from the late afternoon heatwave!
After getting cleaned up and checked into our hotel rooms Grammie treated everyone to a yummy dinner at Doc's pizza buffet!!! All the pizza, salad, noodles, breadsticks, dessert and ice cream a heart could desire!!!
The next day we all headed into Salt Lake to spend the afternoon at the LDS Visitor's Center on Temple Square. We enjoyed some short videos and the displays, as well as the beautiful temple grounds before heading out for lunch/dinner at the Spaghetti Factory and saying GOOD-BYE to Auntie Nickie and the girls who flew home!!!! We will miss you until we meet again!!!!
