My Nephews

I had the chance to watch Andrew and Emerson last weekend while Sam and Amanda celebrated their anniversary. It was exhausting but so fun. Man I love those boys. Sariah also stopped by this same evening. My nephews and her boys played so well together. It was great because we could actually visit. It was so good to see Sariah, I wish I would have documented it with a picture!

We did a fire with smores, played with my Christmas train, drove up the canyon, walked to Bridal Veil falls, went to McDonalds (biggest waste of money), took naps, went swimming. It was jam packed and exhausting.

The boys were so excited to do s'mores. It was hard to hold them off this long.

 Pretty much they ate as many marshmallows as they wanted so it was a huge success.

 Emerson LOVED watching my wash machine in action. He got so excited as it spun and added water. It was the greatest thing ever.

 We drove up the Provo Canyon so Nancy and Katie could see the fall leaves. We stopped at Vivian park so they boys could play. It was a nice crisp fall morning.

 The river and trees were so pretty in the morning light.

They enjoyed the playground but they loved playing on the old train cars that are still on the tracks. Is that even allowed? I assured Amanda other people were doing it as well. The boys were in heaven. Emerson was such a stinker about me taking his picture.

Andrew on the other hand was being awesome about letting me take his pictures.

It was such a beautiful fall day.

Running on top of one of the trains.

Then we headed back down to Bridal Vail Falls so we could see the waterfall. We parked in the lower parking and walked up. That made it a little 1/2 mile hike to the falls. The boys did well until Emerson was just too tired and asked to be picked up. He curled up in my arms and fell asleep. We wore the poor boy out.

He did pose for a couple pictures at the falls when we bribed him with ice cream. Now I know why parents do that. It totally works!

 But he was sooooo tired!

 It was such a fun and gorgeous morning

 After we got ice cream we went home and rested before going swimming. I think everyone was exhausted when Sam and Amanda showed up. It was a fun weekend!
