Off To The Circus!

An old friend of mine called and said he had 10 tickets for the Circus! I tried to buy some more for the rest of the kids...and I couldn't they were all sold out... So we took Becca and Ryan's families and headed off! (Hopefully everyone can come next year)... I hate it when that happens... He invited us to dinner at his home at the Gateway...so we went up there first. I was sure surprised to see the circus set up on his terrace!

Macie and Millier are cheering that we are on our way! Adorable little girls!

Ryan and the girls...

Tent all set up with Circus food!

Then they really got into it! Hats and noses!

Granny and Millie

Macie tried on all the hats!

Millie was loving the cotton candy!

Then Becca and Levi and the kids got there!

Granny with Brig ~ Audrey and Abby

My daughter! I am so proud! Look at that nose!


Brig found where all the treasures were....

A DVD.... for Brig!

During the pre-show.. Abby tried on a costume!

Then it began with the parade of Elephants!

Macie and Millie were enthralled...

Becca~ Levi and the kids....

Granny with Audrey and Abby and lots of stickers...

Afterwards these two were flying! Abby is ready to go right now and join up!

Back in the car...and on the way home! fun night!

Homecoming!

Taylor's homecoming dance! I can't believe she is growing up so quickly!

Taylor and Alex... don't they look beautiful?

Creative shoes... try as I might she won't wear heels! These are really adorable...especially for my little soccer girls!

The Day at Bridal Veil Falls...

Jenny planned an outing up Provo Canyon...at Bridal Veil Falls...

Beautiful falls...

The kids had a blast playing in the water below the falls! It was COLD!

Mason getting warmed up!

Jen and Oaks

Grandpa tormenting Brigham... with lunch in the basket.

The "cool" thing to do..was to put your head under the water!

and so they did! Preston

Abby

Oaks was laying down trying to put his head in...while staying dry and Grandpa gave him a bit of a push and he lost his balance and went in head first! Thank heaven he is still smiling! I was afraid he might have been really mad!

Audrey...

So wet!
Then we decided to climb up to the falls! It was something I had never done! So I thought why not! It didn't look to hard... but it was steep! Hal stayed with the baby and Brigham at the bottom...and off we went! 3 women and 6 little kids!

this is at the first part! We could see Hal...

Then we got there! It was so beautiful and really quite cold with the water spraying on us!

I was pretty PROUD! I don't hike and I should! I loved it! Apparently it wasn't that hard... look who else made it... 4 year olds! I'm still proud..what the heck!

Jenny and the boys...

Becca and the girls... Audrey was FREEZING!

On the way down it was pretty steep and so they all worked together.

Oakley and Preston stayed behind me and I asked them "Why"...and they sheepishly said...to watch you and help you Grandma. Such good boys! I am a lucky Granny! Mason just said "I didn't know Granny could hike!".. Yikes I better start stepping up!
Then it was down the canyon for Lunch!

Everyone on their way... what a great bunch of kids!

Yummy sandwiches and drinks!

Jen and Jett- not sure what she is seeing...but it is the only pic that turned out!

Hal and I with Abby and Trey
