Monday we took the kids to a bounce house in Roy, UT. It said online that they were open at noon, but when we got there they said it was a mistake, and they weren't open till 3. But since it was their fault, and we only had little kids, they let us in anyway. It was like having a private bounce house for a whole hour, which normally costs like $750 to do that for real!! Pretty ridiculous, but we sure loved having the whole place to ourselves. The kids jumped and ran to their hearts content and wore themselves right out. Even Kenny, who's just a big kid, had fun jumping and playing around with the kids.
Kenny also thought it would be funny to tackle his dad into the huge pit of foam! It was funny, but I felt bad when it came time for him to get out... haha.
This was a normal scene...Madi trying to get away from anyone that tried to hold her. It was extremely annoying the WHOLE freaking time. She wouldn't go to anyone but me or Kenny, but mostly me.
These cool TV's had a 15 second delay so you could do a trick, then watch yourself on the tv and see what it looked like.
Monday night we went down to Temple Square to see all the pretty Christmas lights!! We all ate dinner at The Lion House, then walked around. It was cold, but we had fun. Jeni and Eric, and Kyle and Keli and kids also came so we had a big group.
Brynlee is the exact opposite of Madi. She attaches to people really quickly and wants/needs lots of attention and love and snuggles from any willing family member :). She loves all her grandparents.
We said good-bye to everyone for who knows how long. The next day we flew home (2 flights again, always a layover in Chicago) and got back around 6:30 at night. The kids were such troopers. It's not easy changing time zones, and switching houses/beds every day or every other day. We stayed with 7 people in 12 days, that's a lot of moving around and they handled it as well as could be expected. The airplane flights went pretty well, obviously Madi had a hard time holding still for 3 hours at a time but it was SO much better than the 30 hour drive would have been. We'll never be able to do that again because it's way too dang expensive, but I'm glad we did it this once. We also had a little sickness at the beginning, lots of stomach issues for Ty and Bryn. And Madi was pretty difficult a lot of the time. Not just because she wanted to be held all the time and was scared of everyone else, but because she isn't used to stairs. We don't have any in our house, and she was obviously fascinated with them. Everyone but Cami had stairs, so it was stressful constantly keeping her safe and alive. She did have one fall down the stairs at Bear Lake, but she wasn't hurt at all, thank goodness. She can go up and down, but she doesn't get that she can't just stop and stand up, or try to sit back while on her way down. But what's a vacation without some sickness and stress, right? :) Overall, it was a great trip and we were so glad we got to see so many family and friends.
