Staycation: Days 2,3,and 4- swimming, park, library, toys, and movie

On the second day of the staycation we went to our local rec center to swim. 

Maddy played on the climbing wall for a few minutes. 

This is the only picture I have from swimming. 

The pool was great. They had a wave pool, water slides, kid play areas, regular pools, and a lazy river. 

We spent a few hours there and had a great time. 

The next day we started out the day by going to the park at lunchtime. I let them have lunchables for a picnic lunch.
And then they played on the toys for a while.

After this we went to the Orem library. They had a Pokemon scavenger hunt similar to the one we had done at the Provo library earlier in the summer. 

At the end of this one they got little buttons. 

Abi, always having to make silly faces.

The last stop of this day was to go to Toys R Us where they each got to pick a toy that was around $10. Abi used some of her saved up money to put toward hers so she could get a bigger toy. 

The next day we took it easy. We stayed in cozy clothes, made popcorn, and watched a new movie we had picked up earlier in the week. 

All three of these days were really fun!

Life in July

We love spending time at the library. We have two libraries that we can go to. 

Maddy doing some crafts at the Provo library...

 

Puppet shows at the Orem library...

It made me happy when I came downstairs to find the girls like this...

We gave them some bubble guns in their welcome to summer baskets. So in July we took the time to play with them in the backyard.

We went to Finding Dory with my parents. We loved it.

I bought some of those water balloons where it fills all of them up at the same time and they self tie. Those things are awesome. We played outside with those for a very long time.

We found that the ones we bought didn't often break against us. So we figured out that they popped better if you squeezed them.

Pokemon Go became a thing and of course we had to download it onto my phone. 

We live pretty close to a river with a walkway next to it so we went on a long Sunday walk to look at the beauty and hunt some Pokemon.

And there has been a lot of Pokemon go playing since then. And I am always finding pictures on my phone like this...

Orem library even did a Pokemon scavenger hunt so one day when we were visiting the library we took advantage of that!

They have an amazing Harry Potter themed doll house at the library.

This kid...

We did a lot of reading, of course. 

Sometimes if I couldn't find Maddy I just had to go look in my room and I would find her reading in my bed.

My mom taught Abi how to cross stitch and she spent a couple of weeks working on her very first cross stitch.

I think it turned out so cute.
