The Reading's Visit!

Two weeks ago Preston, Suzanne and McKinley drove out for a visit. It was SO fun to have them here! They drove out on Friday and that evening Matt and Preston went Cosmic Tubing up on Mt. Hood with the youth of our ward to be chaperones. I teased Matt and Preston when they got home and told Suzanne and I of their adventures in stupidity that they should have been the ones being chaperoned. They had a great time though so it was a good activity to kick off the weekend right. 

Saturday we wanted to go to the temple but Preston forgot his recommend so instead we did a little bit of shopping watch a movie and the BYU Basketball game. 

Sunday we lounged around after church and watched another movie. 

Monday Matt was able to get away from work for the day. We went to Dizzy Castle and ran around. 

Dancing with the projector games. 

Pres took Em down, she ended up backwards haha 

Ty, king of the slides 

McKinley playing in the lil' tykes area. 

May and Em playing too

It may look like Emma is nervous she wasn't, she was loving the hang! She did really well with it too! 

After Dizzy Castle we went home for lunch and naps, then headed over to swim at Firstenburg. 

The twin cousins wouldn't turn around... But their backsides are cute too :) 

Matt and the girlies

Ty having a blast. 

That night we went home and grilled up some chicken and burgers. Matt introduced Pres to his famous (to him) jalepenos sausage queso burger. Preston ate two and declared it better than five guys and quite delicious. I can't get over how funny this picture is! Apple Manzana to drink really kicked it up a notch as well. 

Tuesday we headed over to VooDoo Donuts in the morning and had some delicious treats before we went to OMSI. Preston didn't do the Texas donut challenge since Matt wasn't there, he had to work so we took some donuts to go for him. 

The kids LOVED OMSI, the water part put me over the edge and I think it was a little too old for May and Em, outside of the 6 and under area, but next time with a stroller it will be much more do-able. 

Building with blocks. 

Emma saying CHEESE. 

Water fun! 

Ty was a bullet, he hardly was still enough for this photo op. 

McKinley was the cutest in the water. She could have played for hours but I called it, my OCD kicked in and I couldn't handle soggy kids another minute. 

We went to the bigger people area and only got through one full section before the kids weren't having it anymore. The grown ups did have a little fun though. We did the fitness challenge. I think all of us were better than average. Even me, pregnant and all. Here's Zan, rockin the push-ups. 

Preston, working on those sit ups. 

The kids were occupied by the jump rope simulator.

Suzanne even did it while holding little ones. 

Preston and his grip strength, with a little help from Emma bug. 

Lastly we tried to go to the man made science portion but we made it about 10 minutes before throwing in the towel. Boat racing! 

That night we watched BYU again, they lost the WCC tourney to Gonzaga. It was a pretty painful loss, and Collinsworth, one of our starters, tore his ACL so we won't have him for the big dance. I don't think we'll make it too far with out him but it's still fun to see the Cougs compete! 

Anyhow The Reading crew took off on Wednesday and we missed them dearly. We had a ton of fun and love it when they come to visit us :)
