My week in the Swagger Wagon

If you haven't seen the video (and you live in a bubble), you can click here, but that's not what this post is about.  While I did drive a mini-van for an entire week (don't worry, I wore a disguise), I had good reason.  Why?  Two extra kids who couldn't legally ride in the back of my jeep everywhere we went.  While my sister was a leader at a girls youth camp, I kept her to little hooligans and we had an awesome week!
Day One

Driving home from camping in Colorado, not too exciting, but everyone fit and we got treats and watched movies with a quick stop at one of our favorite parks. (Although I did discover that its alot more fun in the cool of the spring than in the heat of a summer afternoon.)

Day Two (Sunday)

Church. No pictures. Even though everyone did look very cute and I was quite proud of myself for taking five kids all by myself. After church we did laundry and tried to recover from our camping trip.

Day Three

pLaY dAy!!  We built a backyard water park, ate ice cream sandwiches and then got all dry and snuggled up for an afternoon movie and popcorn.

For Family Home Evening that night we went downtown to the LDS Church History Museum (if you haven't been, you HAVE to go to the Children's exhibit before they change it.  It was so fun! And free! And the kids loved it!  Maybe I will write more about it later) and we made a quick visit to Temple Square.

 On our way home, of course we had to stop by and see dad/Uncle Russ at the firestation.  Unfortunately he was on a call so we had a little picnic at the park while we waited...

And eventually we got to play on the firetruck. Yippee!

Yes, that was one day.  Day three was Monday and the week was just beginning.
