On Day 3, Trent's family all went back up to Olympic park, and we stayed down in Provo to see my dad's side of the family.
Before we met up with the fam, we took a jaunt up Provo Canyon. It's so beautiful through there.
We found a stream to skip rocks in.
Love the tongue sticking out of his mouth. He is so related to my mother. :)
We found a park by the stream. I had no idea Preston could do the monkey bars all on his own until that day. I don't think he did either. ;) After watching his bigger siblings do it, he must have decided he could do it too, then he just went and did it! He is like that with so many things. He has to watch and study it first, then he just goes and does it! Funny boy.
A rare picture of my sweetheart and I together. I'm usually the one behind the camera.
After Provo canyon, we went to meet up with my extended family at a park in Provo. I often wonder if Jilly will ever realize how fortunate she is to have Vivi for a big sister?
The boys wasted no time jumping in the stream by the park.
After waiting around for a while, and no one else showing up, I gave my mom a call, and sure enough, we were at the wrong park! Go figure. Good news though; the park we were supposed to be at was only a few blocks away. ;)
We had a great time at the park catching up with my family. I haven't seen them all in so long! All of my cousins have grown up so much.
Jilly found herself a patch of dirt and was content to sit there for quite a while and get nice and dirty. Thank heavens for wet wipes!
We played a whole bunch of games. My aunt Carma is the game lady. She always has tons of game ideas.
We played WAH!, Ninja, and missionary tag. And the boys spent several hours throwing drumsticks at one another's feet to see who could go the farthest into the splits without falling over. I opted out of that one.
Preston had the best time having so many other kids to play with.
Jilly enjoyed meeting everyone and getting lots of extra attention. This was the first time my grandma Guercio has seen her in person. My grandma has had some health complications the last few years and hasn't been able to come and see us like she used to.
In the back is my uncle Mike and his wife Melissa, then there's Carma and Kepi in the front. These are some of the greatest people around!
In the front on the right is my cousins Karanda, then Brett, grandma Guercio, my cousin Kiersten and her boyfriend, then my cousin Derek. On the left are Carma and Kepi again. It was great to see everyone. Loved catching up with my grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I wish we could see them more often.
We were at the park from 4:00 in the afternoon until just past 11:00 that night, and my kids still hadn't had enough. They all wanted to stay longer. I guess that means they had tons of fun! It was great to see all of the Guercio clan.
