at the Wright's

The rest of the trip we spent at my parents house. We hadn't been there for 5 minutes and Michael was attacked by the boys, pretty soon they were picked up in one big heap. My parents neighbor was taking his horses and buggy in the parade the next week and needed practice riders, we were happy to oblige. "Look Momma, horsies!"

We also spent a day on the lake - this time up to Deer Creek. The water wasn't *quite* as cold as our previous swim - we had a blast chillin on the boat laughing at those who knee-boarded, tubed, and rode the water weenie. Rylee and I even went on a little tube ride.

The best was seeing the little kids go out together, when they fell off the water weenie, they clumped together like magnets, it was really cute. . . . . there was one of us that thought the boat was a bit of a bore:

Since one day in the water wasn't enough, we headed to the local pool a couple times too. I must say Lindon City has an awesome pool for kids. Everyone was a big fan of the lazy river, the slides and the large shallow area. Each of the cousins wanted a turn taking Rylee down the slide- we both loved it.

Our trip just happened to fall over Lindon Days. So Saturday we headed down the street to watch the parade and pick up candy. Pretty sure it was Rylee's first parade. We were able to walk to the end of the street to watch in the shade, its a 30 min parade and they hand out more candy than one child should intake - we shared. We took in another Lindon Days activity: the boutique/craft fair. 4 of the 5 sisters went from shop to shop and had a good laugh with one shop in particular. . . . . They didn't believe we were all sisters (then to top it off one claimed we were two sets of twins) - if they could guess which one of us was the oldest (or youngest) we'd buy one of the prints they were selling. They guessed wrong but since they quoted us such a great price, we couldn't pass up the bargain. :)

The cousins had a great time playing outside together. I loved being able to shop without Rylee.

This is the result of a (soon to be) 7yo helping Rylee get into the swing. It was even more funny watching the 8yo try to get her out - he wasn't quite tall enough for proper leaverage.

Thanks to everyone who made time to come hang out with us!! We love you all so much and wish we could see you more often!!
