My sister and her kids came last week while they were on Spring Break, which meant PAR-TAY! There is nothing like being with a sister and cousins. We loved every minute of it.
The first night they came was filled by going with my kids to mutual and achievement days. We then headed out for ice cream. Of course Chinese fire drills were involved.
I told my sister about the awesome archery course at the Air Force Academy that the boys had done a couple of weeks earlier. We took the three boys up there one morning.
We played late night games which involved the animal game, do you love your neighbor, board games and a pillow jump contest. The kids are STILL talking about the pillow jump contest. Alesha started by everyone in a line and one pillow. If you could flat foot jump over it you moved on to the next round with the another pillow. Jacob and Dalton were the champions. I’m sure one of them beat the other, but I can’t remember which one.
One of the scripture cards for the week was about all of the blind that Jesus healed. We decided to let the kids pick out their own sunglasses to go along with the card for the night. It was so fun to see the different styles. They were so cute with each other.
We ate MORE ice cream.
Hayley and Kaylee were cute with each other. They stayed up WAYYY too late with each other EVERY night, painting nails, giggling, and doing who knows what else. They are pretty close in age yet look funny together because Kaylee is so short for her age and Hayley is so tall for her age.
We did photo shoots…
We went to Focus on the Family’s slide with the little girls as Alesha took the big ones to do the incline, we jumped on the tramp…
We squeezed in an Easter breakfast at the church Saturday morning and a tour of the Olympic Training Center.
Let’s just say from Wednesday night to Saturday morning we PACKED it in. We sure love you Hill’s!!!
