After many days of swimming, we took it easy at home today.  All the kids had friends to play with and it was hard to make them stop to go to the MTC Tour.  We made it though.  We had a little miracle on our way.  We were supposed to meet Josh and I wasn’t sure where to go.  I drove around the MTC for a little bit before going in to ask the kiosk lady where we should park.  We needed to go down to the stadium parking lot.  I was trying to call Josh to tell him where to find us but his phone was dead.  Just as we were leaving the MTC, Josh was in the intersection!  He saw us and pulled over and we met up and figured out where to go!  It was so perfect!  I made sure to point it out to the kiddies.  The new MTC buildings were very nice!  I am so glad Ashton got to see what it will be like, since he gets a little anxious about new experiences. He seemed excited and kept saying he wanted to stay in the US or go to Australia on his mission. He is nervous about learning a new language.  Annie doesn’t want to go on a mission and Ethan wants to go to England.  (Emmy was at LuLu’s Crafting Corner with Tenley)

Ethan and Annie wanted to go swimming at the Provo Rec.  Ashton and Emmy refused to go swimming for the third day in a row.  So I left them at home playing with the Brimhall’s.  We brought Duke with us.  We found Ali and Tara and Kyra and hung out with them!  Banks was super sad that Ash wasn’t there but he played with Duke.  Ethan played with Gav and Annie played with Quincy and Tilly.  We were there for a few hours. 

The Mia Maids were in charge of the Joint Activity for August and Jill totally put together this boating outing.  I was kind of dreading it but it was so much fun!  There were six boats and tons of youth came.  Quite a success!!!!

We took Daisy on a little walk to deliver flowers to a new Mia Maid around the corner.

Steph was going to the SF pool so we decided to join her!  Sheri came also so Emmy brought Brianna and Tenley met us there.  It turned out to be quite a party!  So much fun! We were there until 5 o’clock!!!

I cleaned the house all morning, then we went to the Payson Pool.  It was a great afternoon!

We played gospel memory for FHE, then went out to the front yard to play until bedtime.

We had a normal day at church.  We were too wiped out to go anywhere for dinner.  We stayed home and watched “The Journey of Natty Gann”. (It took ALL night because our internet is THE WORST)
