Saturday, we got to sleep in a little bit (6:30 is sleeping in for me). I helped Oma make some crepes for breakfast & we all just kind of chilled in the morning.
Trek ran a total of 4 times on Saturday. He woke up at 5 so he could hike the mountain & watch the sunrise. Then he ran 1.5 miles with Canyon. Then he ran 5 miles by himself, & finally ran another 5 miles with Tylee once she woke up.
Everybody went river rafting for about 8 hours (4 hours on the boats & 4 hour of total driving travel time). I stayed behind because I'm a baby & am terrified of rafts & water. I stayed with Phoenix because she was too young to go rafting. This allowed their nanny to get to raft which was awesome because nannies need vacations too. I loved hanging with my sweet niece & it sounds like everyone had a blast rafting.
While they were on their rafting adventure, Phoenix & I got to do lots of puzzles, games, & playdough. We sang songs, read stories, & just had a blast together.
Once everyone was on their way back to the house, Tylee had me run to a local Mexican food place to pick up dinner. We got $250 worth of Mexican food & it was GLORIOUS. We had beans & rice, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, taquitos & flautas, enchiladas, & tostadas. Everybody loved it.
We mad smores again for dessert & while we made smores, a GIGANTIC MOTH flew into the house. We spent 30 minutes trying to kill this thing. . . from throwing shoes & work gloves at the ceiling trying to knock it down, to brooms, to blankets. . . Opa finally killed it when it landed on his pants. It was MASSIVE.
Tylee, Jeff, & Trek took a hike to watch the sunset over the mountains. It's SO beautiful there.
Sunday morning we woke up & made bullseyes for breakfast. We loaded up the van with our stuff, then swapped the UHAUL from Opa & Oma's car & hooked it to our van. Opa & Oma have been storing a couch & a bed for us for the last LOTS of years. It was finally time to bring it home with us. We said our goodbyes & started the 5 hour journey home.
It was SO wonderful to have a COUCH in our house after living on the floor for so long. And Bladen had an actual bedframe now which was nice. We were SO excited to start getting furniture in our new house. (Our stuff was still late, of course. . . not set to arrive until August 18th)
This trip was AMAZING. We loved being with family & just spending time together. Reunions are the best.
