After driving back from our Ririe, Idaho trip we got back to the Young cousins! It was the 4th of July when we got back and so we got to do a BBQ and games and fireworks with them. I took the older 7 kiddos to the big firework show down the road while all the other adults and kids watched from the treehouse.
Friday we went to Tibble Fork to paddle board along with the other hordes of people in Utah county. But it was still fun even though it is always packed. When Reese and Taft got on a paddle board, they didn't come back for a very long time :).
In the evening we took the older 4 cousins to the temple to do baptisms for the dead while Grandma was working her evening shift.
Monday we celebrated Cade's birthday in the evening by going to a pool and eating pizza. The morning though, he showed up at work with a Star Wars surprise and in the afternoon we brought treats for his team.
Wednesday we celebrated Tess's birthday during the day and Grandpa's birthday in the evening. For Tess, we went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm. They had a train ride and horse rides and a really neat new park. The pigs were extremely smelly but the turkeys were huge and funny. The kiddos loved it.
Just some cute pics of Benson and cousin Heath. They don't interact too much but kind of just play next to each other :).
We rented tubes from Mort's Rentals and we up the canyon to float the Provo river. Grandma and Grandpa even floated it with us! It was SO much fun!
The last morning we went on a hike up to the Timpanogos Caves. Grandpa and I did took the 7 oldest grandkids while Tara and Gma kept the younger 4 back at home. The hike was hard and long and fairly steep the whole time but the kids were troopers. The caves were longer and much cooler than I remembered. So much fun. But after the hike and eating at Pizza Pie Cafe it was time for them to pack up and leave. It's always hard to say goodbye. We had so much fun with them!
