We went to Utah with a quick jaunt up to Rexburg too. I drove up with the kids myself on Wednesday and Dad came with my family on Friday night. For such a short trip we sure packed in a lot of things. I stayed with Charity and Chad for a couple of nights. We went to visit Great, Great Grandma Blatter. Charity and Chad and I were crazy enough to hike up to Timpanogoas Caves on Friday with all three kids. Each of us carried a child for almost the entire way (I did have a child in my arms every step). I thought Caelan would walk for a bit, but she was pretty tired and kept complaning about her legs hurting. It was fairly hot outside too...and man, that hike is really a serious HIKE (uphill). We made it to the top and went into the caves at which point Megan lost all control. After about 8-10 minutes of trying to console her I had to take her out of the cave. So yes, I hikes all the way up carrying a child the whole way and didn't even get to see the caves. It's a good thing I've been through them before. I waited an hour for Charity and Chad to go through with Ben and Caelan and then we trekked down the mountain. That night we went to a birthday party for cousin Logan. The next day we went to the Nielson Family Reunion. We slipped out a little early to go to the baptism of our newest Uncle (Kelly) who was baptized by Dad. On Sunday all of the Sorensen family met at Brittney and Porters ward for the blessing of baby Launa. After the baby blessing we needed to get on the road. We convinced Aunt Melanie and Uncle Garrett to let us bring Genevieve home with us to stay for the next two weeks. We also ended up taking Caleb and Corbin home too. So we have had a houseful. What fun! Megan is loving all of the attention.
On the 4th of July we had a barbeque with the Armantrouts and played in the swimming pool. Then we headed over to the church parking lot to watch the fireworks. Megan was completely mesmerized. She wasn't afraid of the sound at all - she just watched in awe.
She loves to be standing (all the time), so she is very happy in her little saucer toy and walker toy in the backyard. She's gone in the pool a couple of times with us, but she doesn't like it for very long (it doesn't get very warm, so I think it is just too cold for her). But she loves being outside while the rest of us take a swim.
