Vacationing in Utah

Here we are in UT vacationing with Ben's family. We have been here for 5 days and we have already done a ton. On Saturday we had a family reunion and Samuel was sick. On Sunday Samuel was still sick so Henry and Sadie went to church with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Emily. Sunday night Samuel was up until 2:00am just miserable because his rear end hurt. Monday morning Emily watched Henry and Sadie and I took Samuel to Urgent care, where my suspicions were proven correct...strep (both in his throat and on his rear). Odd you might say, but my boys have had it before. Thankfully antibiotics clear it up in no time. The city here has a free summer lunch program at the park near my in-laws, so we have been getting the free lunches each day. This has been nice. Monday night we went to the cheap movies (50 cents) and saw Horton Hears a Who. Tuesday we went to Ben's grandparents house to help with the cleaning out (didn't do much, but the kids were good). That evening we drove to Manti to see the Manti Pageant. I told the kids to pick some pants and a sweatshirt in case it got cold. A couple of minutes later Samuel came out and asked me what his coolest pants were. I told him I thought his jeans were. He wanted those because he wanted to be the coolest kid at the Pageant. Unfortunately those were wet in the dryer so, this is what he ended up with. Henry really liked it, Sadie wanted to see Mickey Mouse (she thought that the temple was the castle at Disney) and Samuel wanted to go home, until Grandpa convinced him that he didn't want to leave his Mom there. We had fun. Today it was lunch at the park, and a bug presentation at the library where we touched and saw a Madagascar hissing roach, tarantula, scorpion, boa constrictor and 2 different kinds of parrots. Henry and Sadie liked it, Samuel wanted to go home (are you sensing a theme here?)
