Utah visit

I went home to Logan for about 10 days and this is how I spent most of my days...

But, the real reason I went home was because the Hess' flew me home to babysit them for a few days and it was a bonus that I got to see everyone else and spend so much time with my family. I flew in on Thursday night and my Grandma picked me up from the airport. My parents had left earlier that day to go to Colorado for the weekend to help my sister move so I went home to an empty house. Friday I spent the day babysitting for the Jenkins in the afternoon and the Hess' that night. Saturday night, I was able to hang out with the Bundy's. The girls had a lemonade stand and then we went to Olive Garden for dinner and to go look at the house they are moving into in Hyde Park. Then Sunday morning started my 5 day stay with the Hess'. I took them to church with me and then we drove out to Brigham City to see the Wheelwright's. We had dinner at Brooke and Elgin's and the kids enjoyed running around in the fields behind their house. 

The Jenkin's wanted me to babysit them every morning from Monday-Thursday. Since I couldn't take the Hess' to daycare on Tuesday due to the 24th, I just brought them with me. So, this is what 6 kids under the age of 6 would look like. (Kalani was in the parade, other wise I would have had 7)
And this is what 2 sets of twins would look like. 
 We spent almost everyday swimming at the Hess' pool. My mom, brothers, Skeen's, Peterson boys, and Bundy's all came over on Tuesday and Wednesday and my Mom and her friend came on Thursday.
 These 3 kids love the pool. Lucy and Charlie love to get in the water, but Ruby just loves to run around the pool in her swimming suit. Silly girl!
 I also took the kids to my parents one night for dinner and to play for a bit. The girls loved this new swing that they got and Charlie cried when we had to leave.
 My mom and I had a fun day on Friday, going for a drive, going to a movie and just hanging out together. We went to zumba on Saturday morning and then went to SLC with Cam to do some shopping. We stopped in Ogden on the way to help the Bundy's load up some stuff from their storage to take to their new house in Hyde Park and to get Zeppe's. After shopping, they dropped me off at the airport. I was so excited to get back and see Brad, but it was such a fun trip.
Side note: The first day I got there, my contact was blurry so I was washing it and as I was doing so, I accidentally ripped it with my fingernail . I didn't bring extra contacts since I had just changed them, so I had to wear my glasses the whole trip. Bummer!

You did such a great job with details of your trip home! I love all your pictures! Maybe the Hess's want copies of those cute picts of the girls. . . It was so much fun having you here. I want to go swimming there again! It was such fun. I'm glad I got to see you and can't wait until you're home for good in a few weeks.

I was kinda wondering why you were wearing glasses in the pool. I think you look way cute in them, but wearing them when you're going to get wet is a different story. That's such a bummer! Looks like you had a great time. I'm sorry I took mom and dad away for part of the time. I also wish our trips to Utah could have overlapped! I can't believe how many kids you babysat!
