The First Week that the Phelons Come!

It's always fun, and a little crazy, when the Phelons make their yearly summer trip out to Utah. They usually stay for up to 3 weeks. We go to Grandma's house almost every day and try to do something fun each day, even though sometimes it is just a craft or a movie at Grandma's.

We went to Arctic Circle one day to get the kids out of the house for lunch and to play on their little indoor playground.

Then on Saturday (August 5th, 2017), we went to the Ogden Dinosaur Park. It's a fun place because they have a museum of actual dinosaur bones on the inside (and you can sometimes watch an archaeologist working on chipping away the dirt from around bones and you can ask him questions), and then on the outside you have large statues of dinosaurs that look real with sound effects playing so it feels like you are in a real dinosaur park! They also have a scavenger hunt to find a bunch of different dinosaurs. We usually don't find them all. I had to stop and rest a lot because of my issues with this pregnancy and after this busy day, I really paid for it the next day.

It was really hard to get a picture of all of them and to get them looking at the camera. Too many other mom's taking pictures. Ha ha!

That evening we went to Fruit Heights Founder's Day. We go to this event almost every year. They have different activities like a food trucks, fish pond, balloon animals, bounce houses, and a train. They always come home with tons of loot and it's all free! Logan got a balloon sword (which popped on the way home), and a soccer ball. Kylie got a balloon flower, bouncy ball, and bracelets. Our kids were in heaven and just loved it all! The older cousins didn't come though. I guess this kind of stuff just doesn't appeal to them anymore.
