Weekend in Elk Ridge

It was the first of many weekend stays at my parents house. The kids were even more spoiled because they got both sets of grandparents! Mike and Connie decided to come stop by for a few days and visit us and the kids so we all stayed up at my parents house. 

 We got to attend the Elk Ridge parade and festival and had a blast enjoying the small town folk. Here we are waiting for it to start. Josh was at home with a sleeping baby...

Everyone who went by threw candy, Lyla made sure to get EVERY piece that came her way

 One of the old cars in the parade got a flat tire right as they passed us. The guy driving was pretty old so my dad went out and helped him get the spare on

 Made some festive treats! They were pretty yummy

 It was a really hot weekend so we filled up the little pool and let Lyla swim. 

Here's Mac just chillaxin watchin Lyla bounce around.

 The parade was Friday night and then Sat morning was the festival. Lyla got to ride a horse, get a snowcone, go in the bounce house, get her face painted and other fun little activities. It was a fun day for her but by the time we were done she was pooped  because it was such a hot day!

 She LOVED getting attention from 6 adults who adore and love her to pieces

 Lyla tryin out the squirt gun on dad, she thought it was hilarious to shoot people

 So Josh tried it out on her too

She played with the chalk quite a bit too

 Nothin cuter than watching my dad snuggle the kids

This is the view we get to stare out at from my parents house. It is definitely a place of R&R and is so beautiful. Its even cooler at night with all the lights down in the city. We got to try out the telescope while we were there and saw the craters on the moon. Then we checked out the city and zoomed in on the Provo temple!
We had a great weekend and really enjoyed seeing both sides of the family and just relaxing together.
