Fun in Richfield

My parents went to Lake Powell this week, so I went to Richfield to watch and play with my little brothers and sisters. Bracken has been going through "Lucy withdrawals" since his best friend moved, so it was nice to have lots of friends constantly available to play with. Bracken loves his aunts and uncles and they are so good with him. We had lots of fun together: we went on 4-Wheeler rides, played with the endless amount of toys in the toy chest, read books, went to the library, went to Dallin's soccer game and part of Ryan's football game, made caramel popcorn and watched 101 Dalmatians 2, picked and bottled green beans, and played outside a ton.

Bracken loved wearing the boys' hats. They were way too big for him, so we had to turn it sideways or backwards so he could see, but he had a hat on almost constantly.

Bracken playing with Uncle Seth. We spent a lot of time on the back driveway. The boys would ride their bikes and ripstik around while Bracken rode one of the little bikes or played with the toy kitchen. He thinks it's so fun to take a toy and move it from the cupboard to the microwave to the fridge over and over again. I loved that they stayed entertained for so long while I just sat and watched them and cheered for all of their "tricks."

One of Bracken's favorite things about Richfield is being able to see the horses. He asks for Bre and the horses from the moment he wakes up until I'm putting him to sleep at night. "Horses, Randy, Nebo, Walka, Neigh!!" is one of the most common phrases he said while we were there. He is so happy whenever anyone will take him out to see the horses and when he can feed them some grass.

Tonight when I was helping Bracken say his prayers, he reminded me (more like insisted) that I thank Heavenly Father for each one of his aunts and uncles that he played with this week. We had a great time and look forward to playing with them again soon.
