For all of you outside of the great state of Utah, today was an official state holiday...Pioneer Day! This celebrates the day the pioneers drove into the Salt Lake Valley. For us, it means the cabin for lunch and the river and then Randall's in North Ogden for dinner. We are blessed & lucky to be close enough to BOTH families to pretty much celebrate all holidays with both of them! See, there are perks to marrying someone who grew up pretty much where you did. Anyway, I'm including several pictures of the fun afternoon...mostly of Abby. She played in the river until she was shivering and her lips were literally purple. I'm pretty sure that's NOT a good thing, but it was impossible to get her out and when we succeeded, she cried. Luckily, we were just on our way to the next party in North Ogden, and there is a shot of her on the tire swing at Grandma & Grandpa Randall's. Could one kid get any more lucky than she is?!?! I don't think so! One shot is of Rachel, about an hour after a hornet stung her just below the eye. No, I don't think that felt very good and she wasn't very happy until I found a box of "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" (a Harry Potter candy) in my purse and then the kids spent the next little while daring each other to eat jelly beans flavored like "black pepper", "grass", "soap" and "vomit." Seriously! There are other "normal" flavors, but mostly icky ones like the ones listed. Anyway, it's now almost time for bed (yes, Abby is pretty much passed out in her bed!) and I am feeling grateful for two AWESOME families that we belong to. We are blessed far beyond what we deserve and I am grateful to have spent the day with everyone! Good night!
