Review

We had another very busy week. Riley and Macie started Monday morning with swimming lessons at Reinhart Park. Macie put up a fight at first, but we left her on the side of the pool and she eventually decided to jump in. She can be such a pill sometimes. She swims every day in Kentucky, then all of a sudden when it comes time for lessons, she decides she doesn't want to get in? Stinker.
Then we went back to Grandma's to have some friends from the old neighborhood over.  It was so fun!  There were 24 kids to play with! My mom was so nice - she grilled up hot dogs for everyone, then broke out the popsicles and bubbles for the kids.  Everyone commented on how she is such a good grandma!

Wednesday we went to the Idaho Falls Zoo.  It was the perfect day.  It wasn't too hot so all the animals were out.  We even got to witness something special with the turtles :)  Carver was so fun.  He would gasp and point at the animals while trying to stand up in his stroller.  He especially loved the monkeys and the penguins.  After the zoo I went out for a birthday cupcake with my friends, Megan and Jaimee.  It was a perfect afternoon.  Perfect conversation with some pretty perfect women, and the cupcakes, well, they were heavenly.



Thursday we went to swimming lessons, then hopped in the car and headed to Lagoon.  We met Buffy and the kids for a great day at the park.  Friday we woke up and went again.  On Friday afternoon Grandma and Ezri came, then a few hours later Morgan showed up!  We rode rides until we were exhausted, then at about 8:30 we took the little kids home and put them to bed.  Riley and Kade stayed and rode more with Grandma and Morgan.  After everyone was asleep, Buffy and I went back to ride wicked with Morgan, Kade and Riley.  Those kids are fearless!!  We eventually left the park when they shut things down.



THEN, we just kept going.  On Saturday we went to the Roy Water Park.  I didn't have it in me to take my camera, but I have to record that Riley was crazy.  She jumped off the high dive, then she started doing front flips off the high dive! When I saw it for myself, I told her she had to stop!
After the water park we went back to Rich and Buffy's for a BBQ.  All Madsens were there, with the exception of Kim and her kids. 

It was quite the week!
