Driving down in our borrowed van we were very warm, grateful for the vehicle to drive, but we were still hot! The only relief from the heat on the freeway was to roll down the windows and sweat. We took a pit-stop at a gas station for a cool treat at the Dairy Queen and walked around a little zoo nearby. The kids thought the camel and zebra were pretty neat, and then we loaded back up for the ride to the mountains.
The kids were running through the mountains, carrying sticks and chasing one another all over the place. They got filthy-- covered in the red southern Utah earth everyday!
The "3 Little Pigs" play by the cousins was really funny. Joseph really played the Big Bad Wolf so well. It was cute and funny. Everyone had a great time.
At the candy bar awards ceremony by Aunt Janice Ben won the "SMARTEST" for attending the most school and I won the award for traveling the farthest-- a "MILKY WAY" candy bar.
Cael and Shawn won the BB gun shoot out against all of the family. Cael's score was more than 1/2 of the total of 86. They both won "100 Grand" candy bar for being the best!
On Sunday afternoon, the mountain was quiet. Most of the family had left for home and so we began to pack up and clean up from the festivities. Poor Connor started acting tired and I could feel that he had a fever after everyone left. I had him drink water and eat a few crackers and he rested for most of the day. That evening he was sitting on the couch and got that "strange" look on his face. He puked on the blanket and couch while Grandpa Eugene and Ben rushed to clean up the mess.
