My parents were able to go on a 10 day vacation and cruise to Puerto Rico. My kids and I got to hang out in Richfield with Seth, Sarah, Dallin and Tyson part of the time they were gone. We had so much fun!
Dallin was so sweet with Chandra. He'd help her get her coat and mud boots on each morning and let her feed the animals and gather the eggs with him. He gave her "bull rides" and took her out to jump on the trampoline with him. Thanks Dallin!
The boys played on the trampoline for hours. It was so nice outside that Kinsey got to go outside and play too!
Chandra told me so many times, "I wish I lived on a farm. I wish I had animals. I want a dog and chickens and bugs." In the picture above she was gathering dead grass and plants from the yard to be a bed for a puppy.
The kids decided to put on a circus. They called Jack Khyl and Shirley Mallot, some of my family's neighbors and closes friends, to come and watch. They popped popcorn for snacks and had us sit in front of the trampoline to watch the circus. They did tight rope balancing, Chandra was a beautiful ballerina, the boys showed off their flips, tricks and bull riding.
Chandra was the popcorn girl. She pulled this box full of bags of popcorn around calling, "Popcorn for sale! Free popcorn!" Side note, but Sarah is amazing with all my kids and so sweet with Chandra. She did Chandra's hair in fancy braids, snuggled her, read her stories, and just gave her constant love and attention. Chandra happily absorbed every bit of love and attention.
Dallin is
a little obsessed with bull riding. He told us the name of every bull he pretended to ride. He rode the ball for his bull, then pretended to be the bull for Bracken and Tyson to ride. And boy, he can buck!
I love Sarah! She's such a great sister and has really become a friend in the last couple of years. Chandra loves her too. :)
Sarah and the boys planned a surprise birthday for Bracken. Complete with brownies, ice cream and games! Thanks for the fun guys.
