It wasn't the beaches of Mexico, but Davis and Kin got home from their trip Saturday night and went with us to Lost Creek Reservoir today to go paddleboarding. 105 degrees in September, we'll just spend the day off in the water. Or what is left of the water after the summer, all the water is pretty low. Still, it was a fun day. Willow isn't too sure of the water just yet, but Joey sure had fun!
I decided that I'm just going to not make a book for Davis and Kin for Christmas. They are in Mexico this week. I've begged for pictures and he has sent me like 5 or 6. Mexico, and I don't get pictures. And it isn't just this trip, I ask him for pictures all the time, and yet in my journal it pretty much looks like I have 2 kids not 3. So here is what I've got, and the one on the beach is because I took a screenshot when he facetimed me one evening. It was totally forced.
Saturday morning started at 3:00 am. Kylee and I went to Las Vegas for Owens game. It was the first game of the season, he started, and they played in the new Raiders NFL stadium. It was pretty fun. We actually missed our flight at 5:40 am though. Now I know how to get a park and where to get a shuttle, but that morning I had no idea and we ended up walking WAY further than we had to and eventually turning around, going back to the car and starting over. That got us behind and even after running all the way to our gate, we were about a minute away when we heard the announcement of the flight being closed. It actually worked out better though because they were awesome to get us on another flight, even though we had to go to Oakland first, we still made it to Vegas in perfect timing because Dave & Sheila picked us right up at the airport and took us to the stadium. So it was a lot of walking, running, and stress, but we got there and it was exciting to see Owen playing in such an awesome atmosphere. He said it was so surreal to be there. After the game, Stewarts took us back to the airport, but our flight didn't leave until about 10:00 pm. By time we got there and sat in the air conditioning, we almost just didn't ever want to get back up to get on the plane again. But finally at about 2:00 am we were back in Utah and got a couple of hours of sleep before Kylee drove home to Pocatello and I helped Gator with all the dogs. It was nuts, but totally worth it.
We were at Karma's for a few days taking care of her dogs. We had a few extra dogs through out the weekend. Kylee left Steele on Saturday while we went to Vegas for Owens game, and Davis dropped Joey off for us to watch him this week while he and Kin are in Mexico. It was very crazy, but the dogs actually were really good. We took them for some long walks, Gator had friends over and they went on more long walks, we did some homework and crocheting (getting ready for the booth this weekend), and hung out.
Last time having a first day of school in Jr High for Gator. I guess for me too since she is the last kid. I'm going to savor the last year I have a kid at work with me.
