{the madness that is . . . August}

We have had a relatively mild summer. Not much going on. . . lots of swimming and hanging out with friends. All the while full well knowing that we were going to be cramming as much as we possibly can into the month of August.

We started out with Trek. (refer to previous post)

After that we spent a few days with my cousins who were in town from Texas. We went to the Bean Museum down at BYU and then had lunch at a place for kids called Max n' cheese.

Then we had a fun cousin sleepover with Connor!!


They picked out movies and had kids meals. . . what more could a kid ask for?!

{Best buds!}

Last night "Hammer Family Fun Week" started off with a bang. . . dinner at Brammy and Bapa's followed by a huge cousin sleepover. (We took our kids home because we wouldn't wish a night with the Hammer kids on our worst enemy)

Today we stared out with a delicious breakfast and then headed to Heritage Park, this is the place monument. Laura has been wanting to get together with my sister-in-laws since they are all blogging friends so she decided to join us! The kids had a great time!

The kids even got to go on a pony ride!

There is so much for fun stuff to come this month. . . this is only the beginning!

Yes, August is a busy month. Brett's farewell, waffle brunch, Provo Temple today, setting apart tonight and leaving tomorrow for Brazil. Then it's the Rife's turn with Jen's endowment and wedding this week. We'll all be ready for school to start next week. Keep on keeping Mary Lynn. Glad you have a HFFW.

Thanks for doing the post and photos. I enjoyed the pictures. The Hindmarsh kids weren't ready to go back to Texas. I should amend that as the Last night Chloe asked for daddy. I am happy you got to Heritage Park. I had wanted to do that with the Texans as we had done it one year with Jacob and Dani. It looks like all are having fun with the HFFW.

For some reason I thought Laura's Abi was Abby. Anyway . . . it was wonderful to be with you all. I love your kids. Ayden especially is so sweet to me. He just kept giving me hugs out of no where and it made me so happy.
Love you and good luck with Jenny's wedding. Let me know how the three incher heals work out!
