The Staycation

Davey left us last week to go on a week-long canoe trip with the young men in our ward.
So, my mom and brother came down, my sister's family came up, and we had ourselves a staycation.

Wednesday we went on a walk from Vivian Park to Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon.
Then we went to the Happy Sumo for Jessie's birthday dinner.

Thursday we picked up Sawyer and drove up Payson Canyon to have a picnic at Maple Lake.
That evening Genevieve and Jordan joined us for a homemade fettuccine alfredo dinner.

Friday we enjoyed strawberries for breakfast,

went to Veteran's Memorial Pool in Provo (which totally rocks),

and had a wiener-roast and smores for dinner.

Saturday we intended to go to the Children's Festival at Sundance. When we arrived, the sky decided to pour rain upon us, so instead we ended up at Border's for some warm beverages and a look in a good book.


How is it that we live so close to BYU and we've never been to the Bean Museum? Well, it's true. Since the weather was not cooperating for outdoor fun, we made our first appearance at the museum. I've never seen so many stuffed heads in one place in my entire life.
That night, thanks to Jessie, we were able to enjoy dinner at the CPK, again for her birthday.

And then we played RockBand,


oh, and another night we played RockBand,

and then again another night.

Thanks to mom, Jake, Sawyer, Jessie, dad, Anna, Steve, Sophie, Kent, Genevieve, and Jordan for taking part in the staycation. We had a fabulous time!

That all looks so fun! We need to have dinner or something! :) BTW, the pic with the water and clouds is AWESOME. And, we went to the bean museum too this last weekend, and I too have never been in there - just only walked in the front doors one time. haha.

SO fun! You're so lucky to have family close by so you have someone to come visit you, and you don't have to drive 9 hours to see them (ugghh). Looks like fun!
