Pool time, Wedding, and Alpine Slides

In August, I took the kids to Vegas to see the slide that Poppy built and play around with Bama.
It took awhile for Brenden and Kyleigh to go down the slide. It looked like a long, slick ride from the top of that tree house. But their younger cousin, Jace, showed them how to do it. Thanks, Jace.



Jace also was helpful to rescue anyone who was under brutal attack.
He stood by for Kyleigh when getting swallowed by pillows at the hands of Poppy and was weary for Brenden when Uncle Scotty kept coming after him. (No, Brenden was relentless and got real excited anytime Scott showed up cause he would wrestle a little more than the Aunties.)

Pinned.

Couple late night cruises with the top down


Couple of guys playing tug o war with a dish towel on a weekday morning. Bunch of foolery going on.

Like this chap and Poppy's glasses.

No suspicious behavior when these two gather. Kyleigh and Jace played well together.

Their combined ages have to make the limited age requirement for driving the jeep.

Pool time with the grandparents!!

Brenden could swim all over the pool without assistance with these muscles on. Maybe if we lived in a warmer climate we could attempt to learn to swim without them like the neighbor kid who came over and was 3 years Brenden's junior.

Also while in Vegas, an old friend from Chile happened to be going through the Temple for the 1st time so I ran up to St George to be with her. She's the one on the right hugging her finace. Her parents are inbetween myself and my former mission companion, her sister is on her Mom's lap, and her grandparents are inbetween her and myself. Such a great day. Nice to reminisce and see old friends. It had been 8 years since I'd seen her parents and grandparents.

I wasn't able to go to her wedding because we ran down to Mesa, Arizona for my 5 cousins Mega Wedding.

The 5 couples and my grandparents.
My family at the reception. Nice to be together.


After getting home from a day of swimming with the kids, cousins, aunts, sisters and brothers and then congratulating all the cousins on their big day, we slept as soundly as possible to prepare for the 9 hour drive to Durango, Colorado......
