Utah - part...whatver

We had a great time hanging out with my sisters Ashley & Alison.  We were looking forward to the new pool opening at my sister's apartment complex.  The day of the opening, we got all ready to go swimming.  Swimsuits.  Swim diapers (for some).  Flip-flops.  Towels.  Sunscreen.  Floaties.  Owen was so ready with that pink floatie... finally heading to the pool.   

...only to find out that it wasn't quite ready yet - something about the inspector hadn't come yet.  Bummer.  As we stood there disappointed, wondering what to do, the sprinklers came on.  The kids looked at us and we said, "Go!"  Except Owen wouldn't go.  He stood there in that floatie, with a rejected look.  

And then... they discovered the rain water that had accumulated on the sidewalk from the day before.  Perfect for a hot day!

We attempted to get all of the kids on one couch.  We got them, for a moment.  Whew!  Here are 10 of the 13 (soon to be 14 and 15) grandkids.  

Mason is about 4 months older than Savannah.  He has such a great little personality.  Love his smile!  Glad I didn't have to clean him up...

The big boys played games.  

The littler ones played with toys.  Weston loved those animals!  Owen and Hailey were buddies.  Owen is about 7 months older than Hailey.  

 We let them stay up late one night to watch a movie.  

 Alison stayed at Micah's sister's house, but the rest of us crammed into Ashley and Daniel's apartment.  We didn't mind sleeping on the floor.  We had 5 boys in one room, Mason in with Ashley & Daniel, Savannah & Hailey in one room, and Alex & me on the living room floor.  We had some re-arranging on a nightly basis and little ones coming and going, but it worked.  One night I ended up on the air mattress in Jaden's room... that's what was left.

So glad to spend time with Ashley and Alison!
