Family Visits

All the Long family got together for the first 2 weeks in August.  Stacie and Brandon came all the way from WA and Geoff and Erin came back a little early from an internship in CA.  The rest of us were already here in UT.  We had a great time getting together!  Papa Stan and Grandma Gale (Cam's Grandpa) came the second week so we could all celebrate Papa Stan's 90th birthday.

All the sister-in-laws met up at the Alpine Splash Pad Friday, Aug. 5th.  Here are all the cousins.
Connor loved it!

Cade of course had to throw a few temper tantrums.





When we were getting into our car Cade was eyeballing this tractor, so the guy who was driving it got off and asked if he'd like to get on.  He was so excited!

Tues., Aug. 9th, we all decided to take advantage of the $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point.  We started out at the Children's Gardens.  The little girl to the right names herself the safety police and would tell any child climbing on the rocks or breaking any rules what to do.  haha






Oh the children's garden has this fun Noah's Ark splash pad, the kids loved it.



After the gardens and a quick lunch at Del Taco we made our way over to the Dinosaur Museum.  After losing Connor a couple of times and Cade freaking out a couple of times b/c he "thought" he was lost we still ended up having a lot of fun but, were all very tired.


We didn't get a picture of Lisa in this picture, b/c they had to leave early.  This was me, Erin and Stacie.
Thursday we decided to meet up at Temple Square.  Cam got to go to this activity b/c he works down the street.


Beautiful!

Cade refused to take a picture w/ the other kids.

Wednesday night at a Young Women's activity I learned how to make these flowers.  I wore them the next day, my sister-in-laws commented on them so, I told them I could teach them the next day!

So, that next day Friday, August 12th, we all got together to celebrate Papa Stan's 90th birthday.  Us girls sat around a couple hours making flowers.  We had a lot of fun together.

This is what I came up w/.   Thanks Stacie and Lisa for providing fabric!  (I will be adding pictures w/ Papa Stan and Grandma Gail when I get them.)
