On Tuesday we went to the Boise airport to pick up Maren & Adelaide! We were so excited to have them come visit us. It is the very first time they have been to Vale. Unfortunately I was just about THE worst hostess ever. I still had obigations and appointments to keep in preparation for the upcoming camps {Girl Scout and Girls Camp.} Maren said she wanted to come see life as it is and she did but I still regret that it was so busy. I fill like I need a do over.
Adding Adelaide's cute face to our suburban!
Stickers and coloring.
Thursday we headed down to Utah for Bear Lake. I'm not sure Maren is use to riding with so many kids...
BUT it was worth it once we got there:
Mona, Ken, & Alex; Ben & Elaine, Megan & Perry; Maren & Adelaide; & me and the kids all rented a large house. It was perfect. There was lots of room for each family, the comfort of home cooking and plenty of laughs and great company.
These two were great snackin buddies.
They gathered green foilage, watered it and added a sign {and chanting!} FLOWERS FOR SALE!
Picnic lunches
And constantly feeding the babies
While Lucy was napping the kids and I walked over to the Go-Karts. I loved the location of our house. We were able to walk to everything. It was perfect.
The Go-Karts were fun. No one was there was we got longer rides. :) I'm not sure how legit it was {Spencer had about 5 pillows behind him in order to reach the gas pedal! He was a manic tearing around the track. Watch out!}
By the end I was dizzy and my stomach slightly queezy. But so worth it! ;S
Friday night I encouraged everyone to go down to the lake with us. I just really thought it was would be lame to go to Bear Lake and not actually ever go to the lake. I'm glad we did. Ken brought his kayakes. My boys loved them. Spence was quick to catch on.
Saturday was the race. Every race I've had has gotten better and better {time wise too.} I knew at some point I would have a harder race. This was it. IT WAS MISERABLE. Addie came to our house sick. By Friday Lucy had it. Race morning I woke up queezy and ill. Not good. Long story short I finished the race but it was difficult. I was dry heaving and the last 3 miles were torture. I wanted to break down and cry with each step I ran. But I finished.
Pre Race
Shortly after the race we packed up and headed back home.
It was a wonderful and fun weekend.
