Sa-wingin' it

Last week was CRAZY. Crazy and crazy fun that is :). The title refers to how last week we were totally wingin' it all week and it ended with swinging. The week consisted of:

1. Sunday after church-Wednesday camping in Idaho. My Uncle Burton lives there and we had a little family reunion there and camped on his property in our tent trailer. We had a lot of fun spending time with the family, having a bonfire while roasting hot dogs and smores, boating/wakeboarding/tubing on his BRAND NEW boat, and going on the wave runners. We all had a great time.

2. Thursday Darrin and I went to Lagoon all day with his team from work. My amazing (have you caught on yet how incredible and generous my Mom-in-Law is yet?!) Mom-in-Law watched the boys while we had the day to ourselves. It was so much fun to have a day date and spend time just me and the hubs! It was HOT HOT HOT but a lot of fun. I know Parker would LOVE the little kids rides so I hope we take the kids with our bounceback passes.

*FUNNY STORY ABOUT LAGOON: All you breastfeeding Mother's out there know that you can't leave your baby all day without pumping. If you do-OUCH!! So, I knew I'd have to pump. Long story short we have an inverter for our car. You know-you usually hook it up to the cigarette lighter and you can plug something into it like let's say-a breast pump :). Well, we tried to buy a regular one but they were out. So, we had to use our inverter that hooks up to the car battery rather than the cigarette lighter. We hooked that up, had an extension plug hooked up to that coming in through the window, and my pump plugged into that. So, here I am literally hooked up to a car battery and pumping (covered of course) in our car. EVERYONE passing by showed everything by their faces. First thought-"oh look-they must be having car problems! Wait, there's an extension cord...what on earth is that lady doing?!?". Super embarrassing but SUPER entertaining at the same time. Darrin and I couldn't stop laughing at all the people just stopping to stare and wonder what on earth was going on... but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! That includes pumpin' :)

3. Camping Friday-Saturday. We went to a fun place by Mona, UT. They had large ponds there with rope swings that we utilized. It was a lot of fun.

All in all, a really fun week that left me EXHAUSTED :)

Next up-GIRLS CAMP STARTING NEXT MONDAY with a 4 month old baby...we'll see how it goes!

Wow! You WERE busy last week! Great job making it to the Barton Reunion. Lagoon sounds fun. I read the part about the breastfeeding to Cindy & we both had a good laugh. The joys! Love that pic of Spencer.
Love you!
