Girls' weekend

Each year, the men in Trev's family (his dad, brothers and brothers-in-law) go on a trip of some sort. Last year it was a pack trip up in the mountains, this year it was Lake Powell. Since they are men, we don't get to see many pictures of what they get up to- they are having way too much fun to remember to document it. But while they're gone, us girls get together (with the kids of course) and have some fun too.

Day one-swimming.

Luke and his cousin Braylen are all ready to go.



Grandma watches over some of the little boys.



Trev's sister Katie with baby Quigley.



This is my nephew Corben. I love this little guy!



Luke had a blast.



That night, we bathed the older boys together. If you look closely at Luke's face, you'll see that he really didn't enjoy sharing his bathtub! That night, we all slept at my apartment. Six women and 6 kids in our little apartment. Luckily, we were all pretty tired and slept well.



Day two- Bear Lake.

Quigley and Lainey at the start of our outing.



Luke and Corben enjoyed the water.



And we all took rides in the little inflatable boat.



Lainey likes the feel of the sand between her toes, and watching the boys having fun.



Corben catching some rays.



Day Three and Four- chilling at the ranch.

After two fun days out with the kids, we were ready for some downtime. So we went out to the ranch and just hung out. We baked, talked, played, slept, ate and just enjoyed one another's company.

Luke has decided that he likes wrestling. Corben is the cousin who is closest in age to him. Corben is two and Luke is 18 months, but Corben is a little bit smaller, and doesn't like to wrestle. We had to assign Braylen to play with Luke, because Luke can't really hurt him (he's 4)


And in the babies' corner, we have Lainey and Taven. Taven is just one month older than Lainey.


Lainey got to spend a little time with her great-grandma.


We all ate crackers, cheese, meat and fruit for every lunch. Luke tried cherries for the first time and they were a big hit!



And of course, the boys had to have several rides on the four-wheeler.
