Busy Playing with the Mullins

When we got home from San Diego the Mullins had just gotten in town for a 3 week visit which has been very exciting. We have been trying to get in as much play time with them as possible which explains our lack of blogging.

The beginning of their trip was marked with 3 big birthdays. Dave had his 40th, then Emme had her 4th, and then finally Kate had her 1st. Lots of partying and lots of cake. I'm sure Kirsten will be quite happy to not have another birthday party for quite some time.



We had Emme signed up to join Kai and Amanda in their swim lessons and Jake took a bigger kid class at the same time. They had a blast and have really been getting better at their swimming skills.







We've also been:

Hiking:









Lance did his own hike first to Catherine Pass and then met up with us at Silver Lake. Here are some pictures from his hike too:







Eating at Tarahumara in Midway (love the salsa bar):



Touring the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was really neat to get to take the kids though with us:





Going to the Bees Game and Watching the Awesome Fireworks Afterwards with all the Cousins (Thank You Tyler!):





Celebrating Pioneer Day (July 24 -which is a big State holiday here) with a BBQ at the Flynn great grandparents and a sparkler they gave us back home:



Wrangling the Twin Cousins:



Putting on Talent Shows:



And probably lots more that I'm forgetting and/ or I didn't get pictures of. We've got one more week with a few more fun things planned. How we wished that they lived closer.
