Rest of the wedding weekend

After Milissa's wedding, we still had the rest of Labor Day weekend to hang out and do whatever, so mom decided to take us kids and grand kids swimming at Skyline pool.  Oh man did those kids have so much fun.  Kayton has totally figured out his floating vest thing and so I didn't have to do too much with him while we were in the water.  Merrick on the other hand doesn't have one yet, but he always wanted to be out in the water and not just in the little kid area.  Thanks to other family members being there, we were able to leave the kids for a minute to go on the diving boards and go down the slide together.  It was such a blast and I'm glad my mom invited us to go.  The hard part was that it was during nap time, so that was so hard on the boys, but it didn't stop them one little bit from having fun.

 

Then later that night, we had plans to go back to the Hummel's house because Nate wanted to see them and visit with them.  So we went back and got dressed and then headed out to their house.  We didn't really have any plans until the last minute and it turns out, that they were going to go swimming that night with their family too.  So in we went again.  We had a lot of fun seeing them though and Nate misses seeing his buddies.
We were going to leave that night to go home, but everyone was just so tired and wiped out from the weekend, that we stayed one more night to catch up on sleep.  We did attempt to go to a ward that morning but at least we did get through sacrament and then it was just too much for the kids so we had to come home.  We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa's and said goodbye then headed out.
 
The car ride was suppose to be an amazing drive while the kids slept the whole time, and of course that didn't happen so that added to an even longer and more tired night for the kids.
That evening though, we were invited to go out to dinner in Pinedale with my mom to do dinner and roast marshmallows over the fire.  (side story: Dallin really likes a girl named April that he met on his mission, so he invited her to come down for this whole weekend as like a super long date for them so they could get to know each other better.  They did all kinds of activities with her and had all sorts of things planned and family dinner was kind of an end of the week thing.)
Ringing the Pinedale bell for their first time

It was a fun way to spend Labor Day weekend and we are definitely worn out from it and happy to be vegging out here at home.
