What the heck? The kids only got 10 weeks of summer vacation this year. I swear to you, summer used to go on forever, but not anymore. Apparently, that much time off interferes with their learning or some dumb thing like that. I'm talking summer vacation, people!! What could be more important than that?! My kids feel gypped. So with girl's camp, EFY, trek, family reunion, etc., we didn't make it up to Oregon like we wanted to. So my sister, Kendell, and her family came here, instead, and stayed with us for the last week of summer vacation. We had a great time while they were here, going to water parks, taking the boat out, sleeping outside, and just "cousining".
We went up Provo Canyon to play around at Bridal Veil Falls, but due to a recent fire, the park was closed so we ended up in Vivian Park. We played football, ate snacks, rode scooters and played in the freezing cold creek. The water temperature had to be around 40 degrees, but the kids played in it anyway. Uncle Travis bet the kids each a buck that they couldn't lay in the water up to their necks. I think he lost five bucks on that bet...
Callahan and Brody were good pals, although Brody is a couple of years older. I think Brody enjoyed showing Cal the ropes. At one point, they both followed me down to the storage room so I could get some spaghetti noodles for dinner. Cal was chanting, "We're having sketti for dinner, we're having sketti for dinner!" Apparently Brody couldn't take the mispronunciation anymore and finally told him, "Cal, it's BAsketti!"
My cousin, Dave and his family were in town visiting from Hawaii and stopped by for a visit while Kendell was here. He is THE most hilarious story teller you will ever meet and told this hysterical story about when my Grandma came over to Hawaii to visit and took over the island. I captured a few images, lest you think I'm exaggerating. Thanks "kid"!

These are all the "cousins" together at our impromptu family reunion.
Some of them are actually second cousins, once removed.
I had to look that one up!
