The kids woke up Sunday and set about making Father's Day special for Jacob. Ryan made a Father's Day sign for Jacob, and some of the kids made breakfast for him.
Among other things he got more of these Duplo-style blocks, some of which I ordered because I knew he wanted them, and some he ordered because he didn't believe me when I hinted at it being a Father's Day present. Now we have 900 blocks, I think. Plenty for all the kids to build with without fighting.
They made a super tall tower then knocked it down. They were going to make it into a Bad Moby stop motion video, but I don't know if they ever did.
Rachel made a cat:
We hosted church and lunch at our house. Afterwards B and Ryan found a creative spot to eat their slush:
Grandma Campbell started reading books to Megan. It was like moths to a flame, attracting one kid after another to come listen.
Another of the kids' creations:
I think they made it into a Stop Motion Video, too.
Monday we spent the morning getting everything packed and prepped for our trip. Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's flight left a little before 4, so my mom took them over to the airport around 2, and we left to drive up to Utah for the Campbell family reuinion.
Since we couldn't leave until afternoon we just drove as far as Flagstaff that first night. Turns out we chose a nice hotel to stay at, and we pulled in just in time to catch the last 10 minutes of the complimentary dinner they were serving.
We also took advantage of their pool and delicious breakfast. The kids loved the hotel. They thought the balcony was particularly cool.
Tuesday morning we woke up, ate breakfast, then headed for Utah, arriving before dinner time. A relatively easy road trip, especially when compared to the trip home. (A story for another post.)
