Meteor Showers and swimming!

We had a pretty busy weekend. The fun actually started for the kids and I on Thursday night. I had been telling the kids about the upcoming Meteor Shower and they both expressed interest in it so I decided that we would do a "camp out" and watch the show. Tyler had to work early the next morning so he didn't get to join us. The kids and I made a bed in the living room and laid out there until midnight then we took all of our blankets and pillows outside and watched the Meteors. It was so fun to see the kids reactions when they would see a shooting star. We laid out there for an hour and saw 16 shooting stars, finally at 1:00 am I made the kids go back to bed. I am so glad I took them out to see it. I was worried about them not getting any sleep because Friday was a long day with nothing fun to do.

Friday we had to get up and go to a Doctor appointment. Then we hurried over to pick up Shane and do some grocery shopping. After we dropped Shane off at his house and got his grocery's put away we had to run home and get our grocery's put away and then we were off to a hair appointment. But we were not done running around yet. We still had to get Shane to work. The kids were such troopers. We were all so tired from the lack of sleep from the night before. But they were so good! I was dragging them everywhere and they never once had a bad attitude.

Saturday I got up and cleaned the house and got all of the laundry done. Tyler did all of the yard work then we headed off to do the last of the school clothes shopping. But first we had to get Shane to work. The kids were less then thrilled to have another day of running around but we told them if they were good we would go to cold stone for ice cream! While we were out shopping Shane called and said he was all done at work. It was 2 hours early so we weren't expecting it. Tyler had to leave us at the store and go pick him up. So the kids and I picked out their clothes and wandered around waiting for Tyler to return. After that we headed over to Big 5 because they were having really good sales on athletic shoes. I got me a pair of shoes and of course they didn't have Tylers size but they did in Layton so we had to drive out there to get his shoes. The kids were so tired and hungry at this point so we took them to the cold stone in Layton. We finally got home after four hours of running around. Just in time to get dinner over before the Real Salt Lake game started. They won 2 - 0. WAHOO!

Sunday we took the kids to Surf -n- Swim. I think it was just what we needed after all of the running around we had done the day's prior. The kids had so much fun and Tyler and I had way more fun then we thought we would. We can't wait to go back. Hopefully we can get there again before the weather cools down to much.

Only one week until school starts. I'm still dreading it and the kids are so excited. I think we are a little backwards!
