Sunday July 5th-Vacation Journal

Our off schedule finally caught up to us today.  We managed to sleep in until 7:30 . . . totally late for our us.  

We busied ourselves getting cleaned up and moving.  Dave packed up his suitcase and choose what things he would be leaving here for next weekend when he joins us again.

By 11 both Abby and Trent were napping, so Alex, Sam, and myself drove Dave to the airport.  It's a bit sappy, but, I was a  sad to see him go.  He's kinda growing on me.

We drove home to the soothing sound of Alex sleeping.  Sammy stared out the window refusing to give in to the sleepies that  plagued her.

By the time we entered the driveway our morning was gone.  We now rushed to throw on some church clothes and were out the door again in 20 minutes.

At church Trent and I  wandered the halls while Grandma and Grandpa entertained the othe 3 kids in Sacrament.  The church building is the one I attended since . . . . I was born?  The place is full of echoes from old Halloween parties, YW meetings,  seminary, crushes, funerals, and Sunday meetings.  I love it.

After Sacrament I took 3 kids home and left Grandma with Abby.  Abby was the only kid that wanted to be the 'new girl in Primary!'  Someone is needing more attention at home, eh.  Kids like her are why the 'Hello, Hello' song is still in existence.  Sorry.

Once we were all home, fed, and rested Grandma threw out the idea of  visiting Pine River Park.  Where she gets her perkiness from is beyond me.  We all got on our swimmy suits and drove to the park.  It seems all of Spokane had the same idea too.  Nonetheless is was great and Trent managed to drain himself of about 329 squeals.  I'm beginning to believe I birthed myself a little piglet.

We ended the night with another show put on by the kids. This time, it included a special dance number by Abby, a guess the animal game, and an audience military march.
