This weekend we dropped everything and headed up the canyon to Bear Lake for two nights. The Burtons invited us and we knew that this would be a well deserved and rewarding trip with our friends. It turned out to be more than so. Taylor had connections with a cabin-owner up there so we got to just pitch our tents there and even let the kids sleep inside the cabin with the windows cracked! It was the perfect arrangement (and free!).
Avery LOVES the dogs. Look at that bed head!
Avery laughs when Logan goes "Rarrr!"
The kids
The Lake was slightly chilly but bearable, especially when the sun is so hot and you need a cool dip.
We're so proud how well Avery did in the water. She went all the way out with dad.
The water was clean and beautiful!
She could do this for HOURS.
Learning to not be afraid.
Let me tell you about Avery's poo-poo nap. We stopped at G&G's on the way home to visit. Avery's clothes were washing so we put her down with just a diaper. That's a no-no! Apparently she pooed during her nap and started digging, smelling, and wiping... then fell back asleep. This is how we found her!
More on Avery:
She's really a smart child. She sorted some blocks and picked out all the white ones (that shouldn't surprise me because she can easily sort her food if she doesn't like something). She'll even spit out a bite, pick out what she didn't like and put the rest back in. She's cuddly and sweet, has a ton of expressions, has issues with sharing and tells other kids NO a lot, is always getting better at using the stairs, can drink from a water fountain, can run, says Thank-you, and she understands a TON of what we say (except for No and Stop and Come back here...). Here's an example of some commands she understands:
- Rub your hands together
- Lick your fingers
- Go give mom a spanking (dad's favorite)
- Turn off the lights
- Throw it away
- Go get a book
- Put it back
- Can I have a hug/kiss/head butt

I laughed out loud at the poo poo nap. I bet that was fun to clean up.
