Sorry it's late.
Yesterday I got to leisurely sleep in til 9:30...Unfortunately breakfast is done at 10 and we missed it. So we had fruit and granola bars. No biggie.
First item on the agenda was visiting the "Thrive" store in American Fork. "Thrive" is a freeze dried food company that also has a lot of post emergency equipment. The set up for their show room is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it appeals so much to my OCD because it's not only color coded, but in each color bracket they alphabetized them, and had them all facing forward. Also all of their samples are in adorable candy jars with a mock vintage kitchen, with the beast of a fridge, and blue edged glass cupboards.
Then it was of to Provo to see the BYU campus because not only did Cathleen attend but also Mckenna's birth mother, so Mckenna wanted to see it...until she actually got to see it. Boring. I did get to hear some of Cathleen's funny college stories.
After the college we went to the doTerra essential oil facility to pick up our orders, not much to see there. Lastly, we went to visit a cousin of Cathleen. She has a couple a kids too so everyone got a play buddy. The best part was the chickens, because it's so hot in Utah the chickens were really docile so all the kiddos got to play with chickies. All the kids seemed to be obsessed with putting the chickens into a wagon and dragging the wagon around.
However, Cathleen was really starting to get a bad migraine so we had to leave so we put put her someplace dark and quiet in our suite While I took the kids swimming. Hannah, the second oldest said "help HELP" in the pool...and obviously didn't need any help and I told her she didn't need help and that she better not scream like that unless she needs it. Her reply in a nice shrill voice "BUT I REALLY DID NEED IT"
" You really needed help huh...well we should probably go back to the hotel because you aren't a very good swimmer and I don't want to risk you drowning."
"But I can swi...."
"Hey everybody we have to get out because Hannah can't swim"
"Um Elena...I swim just fine."
"So we aren't going to fake cry for help because the water only comes up to your chin anyway, right?"
They got all swimmed so much that Landon went to sleep in his crib without a fight. Hallelujah.
Correction, McKenna's birthmother did not attend BYU (she was only 15 when she had her), so just a slight miscommunication. McKenna (weird to call her that) wanted to see where mommy went to college, but that was a few years ago. I guess she no longer cares where mommy went to college...that or the video game was more intriguing! :)
