We took the girls to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pageant on June 24th. We decided to head down earlier in the day so that we could visit the horses and other animals near my great-uncle's house. I thought the girls would enjoy it, but they were overwhelmed by the smell of manure. It was so funny, Cami and Brie plugged their noses and wouldn't let go until we moved away from the smelly animals. They were much more interested in the kittens nearby. We spent the afternoon and early evening relaxing at Uncle Cless' house while the girls played with my cousin's kids. The pageant started about 9:30, and even though the girls were exhausted, they managed to stay awake for most of it. At one point, when the pageant comes to 3rd Nephi, the twins were excited to see Jesus. Aaron and I had been asking them "Who's that?" when different people came out. When Aaron asked Cami during this part, she replied excitedly "Jesus!" *pause* "....but not the real one."
That weekend was the start of a week off for me and it was so nice! The girls and I played a lot and I got caught up on housework that gets neglected the weeks that I work three shifts. I also got a few bigger projects done. . I have also been working on getting pictures on our computer put into albums.
Yesterday we had our neighbors over for a BBQ and fireworks because I work tonight. It was fun to hang out and the food was great! I opted to skip my nap for work today so that we could take the kids to see a matinee of Mr. Popper's Penguins. We finished up with an early dinner at Chili's. Cami and Brie have really become big girls and going out is so much easier than it used to be. I can't believe we're less than two months away from Kindergarten!
