We have had a busy summer and came up with a free weekend so we surprised the kids and went up to see Taliah and Ben. The kids were so excited because they have begged all summer to go there. Our first night we hit up a new store that is like an outdoor/active Tjmaxx. Taliah and I found the cutest portable coolers, perfect for our mountain trip the next day. Then we went back to their apartment and played games and they spoiled us with yummy homemade pizza and dessert pizza.
The next morning we went to the Provo farmers market. They had lots of food, treats, produce and so much. The best part was Kelsey and the kids came to meet us and shop. We could not get enough of Oakley’s sweet hugs. My friend that used to live in Vegas also came. It was so great catching up with Shanni. Navy made out shopping with cute new jewelry and the rest of us enjoyed sour dough, Brazilian limeades, cherries and peaches.
We went and made sandwiches and loaded up to head up Provo Canyon. We all loved the trees and they had great picnic areas with real grass and a little creek by bus. They played spike ball, vollleyball and the littles played in the water. I actually fell asleep on the blanket while they went off and explored a little hike.
Next up we tried some school shopping and found some great deals on shoes and uniform pants for the kids. Navy would have bought all the shoes because Taliah found all the best ones. Taliah and I got a quick sister trip to pick up ice cream for a movie night. We stayed up till at least 1 each night playing games and watching movies. We had a great weekend and sure love these two!
Noah got a skateboard and so they were taking turns going down hill and then running off to prevent crashing with the speed. Ben and Benjamin got in a water fight, I love that they hang out and always have so much fun.
On the way back to Vegas we stopped at Gramps house. He had all dinner all ready for us and even made us dessert. The kids picked veggies in his garden too. Navy played games the whole time with his friend Cindy. I laid on the couch a bit of a wreck and sore so it was a grateful and needed break from the drive. We love you Jeff!
