Sarah worked every day but one at Funfinity. On her day off, she went hiking with a friend! She's not sure how far they went but they hiked for four hours. I'm thinking she went pretty far! She also played games with friends and had a movie night with Allyson who leaves for college next week. Sarah wishes she left yesterday!
Megan worked also, but also started her first week of practices with the tennis team. Right now, she's playing challenge games to determine her place on the ladder. She hasn't lost yet! She also met up with the Cross Country Camp on Friday afternoon and didn't get back until Saturday around noon. Mariah was already there and they ran so much that they don't think they'll be able to run ever again. Today, Meg is sick. :( But I don't think it's related.
Mariah ran every day and part of that was at Cross Country Camp which started Thursday. They spent all Thursday at the Provo Rec Center, came home to sleep, then left Friday morning for Shadow Mountain Camp where they ran and set goals and ran and listened to motivational speakers and ran some more and spent the night and woke up and ran some more. Oh yeah, and they ate sometimes, too. :) Mariah also kept working on her free-throw goal. So far this summer she has shot 7,300 free throws. Holy cow.
Cali and Chey read (over) ten books this summer, so I took them for a promised meal at McDonald's.
Also, because of Chey's braces, we got invited to a free night at Seven Peaks Water Park on Thursday. Cali and Chey had two friends there because their families are also in braces and they invited another friend with an extra ticket. They had a blast! Sarah and Megan came too but got cold pretty quick. Bethany and Ben were unstoppable! They had some friends there, as well and they were in the water and back in line and in the water and over and over. We were all cold by the time it was over but Beth and Ben, even shivering uncontrollably wanted to stay forever! Kids and water. I tell you.
Speaking of kids and water, Beth had me promise last week that this week I would take them to the Spanish Fork pool, so we did that on Tuesday. Cali, Chey, Beth, and Ben and I went together. Guess what? I got to sit in one of the pool chairs and read my book. I've been waiting my whole life to be able to do that! I didn't have to worry about a baby or a toddler. There are perks. The kids had a terrific time, too. We might do it again this week.
Other than the pool and Seven Peaks, Beth and Ben have had friends over every day. Ben is also a big BIG fan of playing on the iPad.
I managed to get another hike in with my friends. This time we had a group of six of us! The pictures make it look like we climbed a mountain (which is cool) but in truth, we drove to Squaw Peak Outlook, and walked across the mountain. It was a fun hike and . . . beautiful. Summer is so awesome.
