super saturday

this weekend has been one for the record books. thank goodness sunday is a day of rest! thank you, heavenly father! friday night kalei, koa, and james camped out in the back yard. they had planned it out a few days ahead of time and the kids were very excited. it all went down really well (no kids freaking out in the middle of the night or anything like that). it was a little chilly that night, but kalei and koa were so excited that they didn't even notice... and james woke up to find them curled tightly into little balls in the morning, despite multiple blankets. silly kidlets! we woke them up early to get a head start on traveling to dinosaur world. dinosaur world is an attraction about 40 minutes north of us that we've passed on the interstate, but never stopped at. saturday was $1 day, so of course we went. it was totally worth $4!!! (not sure it would be worth the $40 it would normally cost, though....) the kids had a great time and enjoyed digging for fossils and bones and going on the dinosaur trail. the weather was perfect and we missed the huge crowds and we even saw everything and made it back in time for kalei's soccer game! sometimes the stars align just right, and yesterday was definitely one of those times. by the end of the day, after camping, dinosaur world, soccer, and two birthday parties, we were all filthy and pooped, but in a good way. james and i even got in a few games of "pass the pigs" after everyone was in bed! perfection!
