Fisher was very unsure about Aunt Tillia's two dogs when we arrived. He pretty much hung on my leg and trembled when they came near him. However, it only took him one day to fall in love with Daisy (not so much with Tank but I have to say I don't blame him:). Ruby and Fisher spent a lot of time loving on Daisy and following her around. I know the picture below isn't the best quality but I just love how sweet it is of Fisher and Daisy. This picture alone makes me want to get a dog, but I want it to be as sweet as Daisy and nothing like Tank - So I say why take the chance! On that note if you notice in the picture that Fisher's pajamas have a hole in the toe it's because for some bizarre reason Tank chewed a hole in them, need I say more.
Here's Fisher loving his McDonald's happy meal with nuggets and fries. He is still my very picky eater so sometimes I'm just happy when he eats!
We did a lot of fun things with the kids during the long hot days and one of our favorites was the Lindon Pool. Now this is no ordinary community pool! It has big waterslides, a lazy river, and big pool, a smaller pooler with shallow water and a water playground, and a hot tub. The kids had so much fun and could definitely wear themselves out good. Below are a couple of pictures of the kids taking a break from the swimming and eating some snacks at the pool.
above is Coral and Ruby together on a towel and Fisher eating some crackers on his own towel.
Evelyn and Miles above and Leland and Shelbie below.
One night I took all the older kids to Walmart cause they all wanted to look around and see if they could find something to spent there own money on. Coleman, Evelyn, and Leland all ended up getting beta fish and fish tanks (much to Tillia's dislike). Shelbie found a strawberry shortcake doll that changes hair color when you wet and comb her hair and Miles bought some little skateboards and this snow fox in the picture below. He is a sucker for a cute stuffed friend as am I so I'm no help.
Ruby and Fisher did become such cute friends while we were out there. As soon as she would wake up she would say, "Where Fif-er". Here they are enjoying a bath together.
I also caught them holding hands while walking into this family fun park and I grabbed my phone to take a picture. I just LOVE this sweetness!
I wanted to add that this fun park that we went to was on the last full day of our trip and I would have to say that we saved the best for last. This place was a blast! I have to thank my sister again for getting tickets to this place. She found this groupon that gave entrance for a family of four, a large pizza with drinks, and arcade tokens. The park had these huge waterslides that were honestly some of the funniest I have ever been on. All my kids just couldn't get enough even Fisher! All the kids were so sweet to Coral and Fisher giving them rides on there laps over and over down the slides. I myself went down them with kids over and over cause they were so much fun. Then we had our pizza and drinks and went inside to play the arcade games. My kids thought this topped it off great cause I never pay money to let them play arcade games. I was so much fun and everyone agreed that we had a great ending to an awesome trip!
We had such a fun trip that it made the traveling with four young kids all by myself worth it! We already miss you guys and can't wait till we can spend more time together!
