We stayed at Danelle's house for 2 nights. She and her family were pretty busy getting ready for girls' camp and with life, so we mostly hung out at home. I was totally ok with this though. We had had so many busy days it was really nice to just relax. Cade's highlight there was playing with my 13-year old cousin Brittany. She helped him draw pictures and find toys. His favorites were a toy vacuum and a small doll umbrella stroller. We pushed them around the deck over and over again. Cade just wanted to stay outside all of the time. We even took our breakfast out there to eat.
Another little boy came over for a bit and he was jumping off the stairs from about 3 up. Cade thought that was pretty cool and climbed up to the top and said "jump!" I pointed to a much lower stair and said "you can jump from there." He proceeded to walk down the stairs without holding onto anything saying "jump" on each stair. I had no idea he could walk down stairs like that! We went to church with Danelle. She held Cami all through Sacrament meeting and it was so helpful!
Sunday afternoon we went up to my sister Lindsey's house. She has 2 boys and they are our only cousins. Daniel is 3 1/2 and Joshua is 21 months. Cade had a lot of fun with them and they enjoyed playing with Cami too. We played sidewalk chalk, ran through the sprinklers, went swimming, went for a walk, and played with lots of toys. One morning we even ventured out to Wal-Mart with all 4 kiddos. The boys had fun following each other around and wrestling. Cade liked to give Josh hugs, but Josh didn't like to get hugs as much and kept running away.
My cousin Mandi was driving through Fort Collins on her way to Utah and spent a night while I was there with her 4 kids. For dinner that night we had 4 adults and 8 kids. It was a party! Everyone was in bed asleep by 8 p.m. and we had a couple of hours to talk and hang out which was also fun. Lindsey and I left Wednesday morning to drive to my parents house in Utah. Luckily she has a van and we all fit nicely. The drive went really smoothly. All of the kids took naps off and on. We watched videos and stopped a few times. Cade and Daniel sat in the very back seat. We put a big box of toys between them and they had fun picking out their own stuff. We had several snack cups and I got pretty good and throwing food back to them. We made it to American Fork about 4:30 p.m. and my mom had a great Hawaiian haystack dinner waiting for us.
