I woke up and watched the sunrise for a little bit.
I told the kids last night that I'd go buy cereal and milk for breakfast. I went to the store to buy food for breakfast at 6:22. Went to Bears Market cause it was closer, but when I got there, it was obvious they had a lousy selection. There was no cereal isle, just the bottom of one shelf with few individual servings of Frosted flakes and cinnamon toast crunch. It didn't show the price, but I knew that wasn't gonna fly. I was in there for way too long trying to decide what to do. I ended up getting pancake mix and syrup, 4 pizzas, 4 loaves of bread, and 2 things of cream cheese ($7 each, ugh)! Then when I was done, I remembered Abi wanted candy. So then I decided to go to Mike's Market. I didn't go there at first cause it was further away (like 2 minutes further) but I should have gone there, cause that was a normal store. They had malt o meal bags of cereal, so even though I had gotten stuff for pancakes, I got cereal too. Plus Abi's requested - an assortment of Hershey's mini chocolates (krackle, Mr. Goodbar, special dark and reg Hershey's) and I've been eating most of it, darn it! Oh, I also bought white cheddar popcorners at Bears Market and I inhaled almost the whole bag on my drive back, doh! (...apparently I'm feeling some stress or something that I did that!) Back at cabin at 7:33 am. Abi eating cereal. People starting to wake up.
Camilla Patrice Grant took three cars full of kids to the beach. I stayed back just cause. I did help hold Alvie while Ethan and Bella took tests for school. I got him asleep and let him be snuggled up in three pillows on my parent's bed.
When Bella was gone, I read a little bit until I was tired, then I took two naps on the floor in the Master bedroom. I slept in the master bed last night, but my parents will be here tonight so now Corey and I are room-less. We'll be sleeping on the blow up mattress, cause I gave our room to Beka/Matt and Camilla&kids, so that Ethan&Bella and Joseph&Eliza could have their own bedrooms. The kids spent time at the beach, and back at the cabin there was lots of visiting, board and card games, and the cousins have been playing pickleball...
...and video games at the gaming consoles and eating lots of delicious food. We had bbq hamburgers and hot dogs tonight. Ready for dinner.
Right now Mel still at home (7:11pm). She should be coming up soon with Christian. Mom and Dad are on their way, Beka Matt arrived 4pm, Corey Lily Joseph Eliza Mary arrived at 4:52 in Mel's car. Our van is still at Burt Bros. It didn't end up getting fixed by yesterday, and wasn't done today either, so I'm a little disappointed that they were so off on their time estimate. Since they are having it for so long, I really hope they are able to fix the shuddering that occurs when the car accelerates.
Hyrum flew in and Corey arranged for him to come with Neil and crew, who were driving from California but going through Salt Lake at just the right time for when Hyrum's plane landed. They went to Layton to get some things, then they arrived at 6pm. Tonight was Hyrum's first time meeting Mary!
She's so excited. All of Mary's and Alvie's Uncles and Aunts are loving all the time with them! Hyrum with Mary again, Lily with Alvie.
My grandbabies are so cute!! So that's mostly been today - hanging out and waiting for everyone to finish coming in.
