Labor Day Weekend.

I made a mistake. I started this blog post but left it open on my computer. Austin was quick to sweep in and hijack it. I think his story/recall of the weekend is pretty great so I'm just going to let you read it...

It all started in Cedar City. Next thing, a giant walrus did a somersault in mid air, landed in the water and ate a blueberry. Needless to say, little miss muffet was a little pissed that she had to sit on her tuffet through out all of this. So she stormed out. Kennadi was so patient. she went right the bank and asked the teller for a refund. The teller could "tell" something was bothering her that he told her exactly what she needed to do. She needed to find the heart of Te Fiti and roast it over a fire. After taking in this new adventure, she went back and found the walrus and told his that she needed her acrobatic skills on this new mission. The walrus was a bit nervous to accept this new assignment, After all, she wasn't wearing any clothes! How was a walrus supposed to cook up the heart of Te Fiti without any clothes on! This adventure just became so much more complicated. Kennadi quickly regretted recruiting the walruses help and waltzed her way to little miss tuffet. she was worthless. She OD'd on blueberry antioxidants that Kennadi climbed up on the backhoe and dug a hole six feet deep and buried her in it no questions asked. Unfortunately for Kennadi, a pack of wild indians had been stalking her and they would have none of that! They got dressed up in their new outfits from macy's and sat in a circle and played duck duck goose. WTF! Duck duck goose can stop the rain? who knew? apparantly the indians. they know everything. except that diseases can be spread through blankets, and that if you help out the white people then they will eventually steal your property and banish you to new mexico and oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the lane. If only kennadi knew. well she didn't and a twister went right over her and she became immortal and eventually completed her quest and found her way back to cedar city with her parents. The End.

This is really how the weekend went down. We stayed at Cedar City. We celebrated Kennadi's Birthday. She got lots of Elena of Avalor Presents.We visited Cedar Breaks. The end. Now here are some picture to reward you for reading Austin's story...

Island Park.

We look forward to our summer trip to Island Park every year. This year was no different. Austin went fishing every morning and even squeezed in a golf trip with Britten. Kennadi loved her daily walks with Great Grandma picking flowers and rocks. And Quincy loved the constant attention from everyone. We were able to venture into the park for one afternoon. We tried our luck at finding animals, saw Old Faithful, stopped to get some ice cream, and enjoyed a picnic by the river. We love spending time at Island Park and are so grateful that my grandma and grandpa put up with us for a few weeks every summer.
