Girls Camp 2022

 The Monday after the Bugarins left, our girls camp started.  I wasn't able to stay over because Laexin was working and LeGrand was working, Loa would be at girls camp and I couldn't leave the littles at home.  I was planning to take the two littles with us then when I went to meet the girls at the church and help transport, Andrea Smith offered to take the two littles and let them play with her kids so they didn't have to go with me ---it was so so nice!

We stayed at Janice Lowders place in Lego.  It is so pretty and the girls love the waterslide, they got to swim both days and just had a great time!

The next day the kids joined me, they had a great time swimming.

We finished the second evening with dinner with the bishopbric - it was a fun successful girls camp and Loa had a great time for her first girls camp!

Visit from the Bugarins

 As I nanny one of my best friends was Silly Sara --she lives in Colorado with her family and her and her boys were driving through town - they wanted to stop and visit for a couple of nights and we were happy to have them.  It was so so good to see Sara, we don't get to see each other often enough!  We had a great time catching up!

We took them on a tour of Grace and LeGrands plant in Soda

Then we took them to Cleggs pond for lots of fun swimming!  The boys went and hung out with Laexins neighborhood friends that night and we just had fun hanging out and catching up.  I was seriously so good to catch up - I wish we could live closer!

Visiting Grammie and Papa's Mission - Cashmere WA

The beginning of July we decided to make a trip to Cashmere WA to visit Grammie and Papa on their mission.  We took a little longer route to get there so that we could take the kids through Montana for their first time - it was a beautiful drive!  The first night we stopped for some BBQ and then stayed the night in Missoula.

 

The next day we drove through Couer 'de Alene - which we fell in love with (we've always wanted to make it to this part of Idaho), then we drove through Spokane and eventually made through Wenatchee to Cashmere - we were all happy to see Grammie and Papa!

We had some delicious sushi and oriental food ...then Grammie and Papa took us on a walk to the park and the trail along the river.

The next day we took a trip up north to visit the town of Levanworth, such a fun little swiss town - I'd love to visit in the Winter time.  We loved walking through all the shops, having some brawts and some soft pretzles.

That evening Grammie and Papa's good friends let the kids swim in their pool - they had a blast and could've been there all night!

We also stopped at a toy store for Linq to spend his Birthday money - he got himself a remote control car and had a great time driving it around!

Sunday was Linq's 7th Birthday!  We sure wouldn't be the same without this amazing caboose in our family - he has such a sweet, happy, calm demeanor.  He is the best!

We went off to church...then celebrated Linq the rest of the day!

Monday was the 4th of July.  We went and had a yummy breakfast, then were going to checkout the activities at the park --they turned out kinda lame so we didn't stay too long.  We were wanting to go pick Cherries since they were in season - but unfortunately the guy who was taking us picking from my parents stake, got sick and couldn't take us.  So we just stopped at a fruit stand and picked up fresh cherries - they were amazing !!  We didn't get home with any, and I was so sad we hadn't bought more!

We went and hung out at the apartment, playing games and hanging out.  Finished off the night watching fireworks over the river.  The next morning on Tuesday the 5th, we were on the road for home --we made the trip in one day.  It was a long day, the car started making a big banging noise by the time we made it to pocatello to pick up Maggie, I was just praying we would get home!  Thankfully, we made it!  I got the car to get fixed the next day and luckily it was just a wheel bearing that they just recently had replaced and had gone bad.
