The Garrison's Come!

So the next week, right after we moved in, the Garrison's came. They spent a few days at Grandma and Grandpa Summers, then took a trip to Southern Utah, then spent a day or two more. The first couple of days I would just drop off my kids at Grandma's, then went back to the house to unpack. It was really nice and I was able to get a lot unpacked. I spent at least half the day at home doing that, and the other half back at the Summers'. We mostly just spent time there. The Gees and Cederlofs would come and all the cousins had a great time playing together while the adults chatted. I stupidly did not take any pictures, so I stole these from Gina. Thanks!

One of the days, Grandma brought out the pool, slip n' slide, and sprinkler. The kids always love this! Whitney and Annika in the foerground, Logan, me and Kylie (see the blue and white striped hat) in the background.

So on a Saturday, all the adults went to a session at the temple together to do family names and we left our kids in the hands of the older cousins. It was really nice to do that, but I was a little worried about how things would go since our children are 2 of the 3 hardest ones. Shannon is 16, the oldest, so she was given charge over Kylie. Well, during this time, Kylie was supposed to have a bottle but she absolutely refused to take it! She is weird like that sometimes where she doesn't want certain people to feed her. She is a mamma's girl. Shannon tried and tried but she would just cry and cry! Poor Shannon! She was trying to text and call her mom. She finally gave up. I felt so bad when I heard what had happened.  I'm sure Shannon was at a loss of what to do. That Kylie can really be stubborn at times. And it made me a bit worried about leaving her again. I don't blame Shannon at all though.

We also took a tour of Mrs. Cavanaugh's, a chocolate factory. We were able to taste some of their chocolates and watch and learn about how they make chocolate. There was also a video. During the video, Logan was a bit wild and needed to go potty so I left Kylie to take him potty. When I came back, it turned out Kylie had a poopy diaper so I had to leave again to change that. I came back just in time for the chocolate tasting. The gave us a pure chocolate (a bit bitter, but I didn't mind it too much) and a milk chocolate. After the tour, I bought a couple of candy bars for our family to share. Nate was at work so I had to make sure he was able to get a taste of the chocolate.
