Busy, Busy Bees

This weekend was a crazy, busy one! So busy we forgot our camera. But we did some memorable things. Friday Jon, Cade, and I met up with Brett and Mikin's families and our niece, Hayliann (who's visiting from Utah) and spent the whole day at Silverwood Theme Park! We spent the very hot part of the day at the water park in the wave pool, on scary slides and group tubing, and then had a picnic and spent the evening on the rides! Cade enjoyed the kids rides with his cousins while us adults enjoyed the big stuff...including the new roller coaster that just opened up called AFTERSHOCK. It was scary! Your feet hang and they hold you completely vertical!

That night, Jon and Brynne both woke up in the night SICK with bad colds. But in the morning, we still had to wake up so Brynne could do the 1/2 mile swim in the Hayden triathlon (teaming up with her sis-in-law Lizzy). Even sick, she still beat all the boys out of the water. :)

Immediatly after, Jon went to play in the NIC 3 on 3 basketball tournament (sick also). They played 2 tough games Saturday and won both---but Jon sprained his ankle in the first game, taped it, then hurt his back in the second game! It's still really bad, but we'll have to see if he needs it checked out. Poor guy! Street ball... ::sigh::
That day we also had the Gatten Family barbecue with extended family. It is always good to see those you don't see very often! We ate, played volleyball, and Cade swam for probably 3 hours. Little fishy!
Sunday (today) Cassie and Andrew's baby, Beckett, was blessed here in the Dalton Ward. It was so fun to be there for such a special occasion. He is such a cutie! Then this evening we had a relaxing dinner on the lake with Jon's parents. We napped, watched olympics, and played games.
Like we said, we had a crazy, busy weekend!
(Also a sidenote, A.J. is home from Portland and injured waiting for a settlement. We have had a chance to spend some time with him and we love him so much!)
