So we had a Bear lake trip planned with the Fishers but the boat we were getting broke down so we had to come up with some else to do for the weekend because we just couldn't sit home and do nothing and Ryan had the time off work so we decided to head to Seven peaks for the day on Friday and then up to Park city for the rest of the time. It was a great weekend and the last little get away before the kids started school that following Monday. Seven Peaks...let's just say I have three kids that are not very daring so we ended up in the wave pool, lazy river or the kiddie area most of the day, I think we went down maybe two slides and that was all they would do but we still had fun just hanging out. After a long day in the heat we drove up to park city to stay in now our favorite resort in the cannons, Escala! It's seriously one of the nicest places and so fun to hang out in. It's awesome! Thanks Gallis for introducing it to us:) One day we went and did the Alpine slide, which I was surprised my kids did it at all...you will notice in one of the pics that Mckaela went down by herself and she had a long line of unhappy people behind her because she was going sooooo slow. It was pretty funny! we did lots of swimming and went to a movie one night. It really turned out to be a fun weekend even though it started out not as we had planned.
Now on to the first day of school.
Brendan loves it and everyday gets really excited to go. I thought it would be hard on him because it is a long day but I swear he gets home and has more energy than before. That first day he was up bright and early...like 5am early, not really but it sure seemed like it. He has an awesome teacher so I'm really excited for him this year.
Addison wanted to pretend she too was going to school and had to have her picture taken. It's now just her and I all day and I have loved every minute of it. We go to play dates, lunch, play at the park or anything we can think of to just get out and have some fun together. She is my little buddy now...yes she is exhausting at "most" times but she just is so full of life that it makes the days very exciting.
We went to get ice cream with some friends and there was a water park that they ended up instead but look at those smiles on their faces. They were having so much fun!
Now on to Mckaela...
what a rough couple of days it was for her. She was supper excited that first day of school and even came home thinking it was fun. But that lasted a min. because day two and three was a nightmare. She called me the second day crying to come and get her because she wasn't feeling good.(She tends to play that card a lot so I don't buy it anymore)I made her stay. But that phone call was just horrible...she was crying so much because her teacher was being mean, made her miss recess for something so stupid, couldn't use the bathroom and just made day two very hard. So that night she woke up in tears not wanting to go and than in the morning was seriously scared to go back. It was really hard for me to watch her get so upset about this teacher and I was sick about it all day so worried that she was having the hardest time. I ended up calling the teacher and asking her what the deal was? We had a good talk and things have gotten a lot better. Keep my fingers crossed. Mckaela is such a good student and very bright so I didn't want this one teacher to change that for her. Will see how it goes!
