This weekend Zach and I got to hang out with my Aunt Bug's (Laura) kids while she and my uncle did the St. George Ironman. Yeah, they are the coolest people around.
Zach taught the boys how to play the Samoan version of rock, paper, scissors.
We got to hear some lovely singing and harmonizing numbers as well as some ill rhyming.
While the big boys went out to see 'The Avengers' the rest of us stayed home and had some girl time. This consisted of pot stickers, nail polish and amazing nail designs, as well as lots of ice cream.
Later we played some fun games and tried to track my aunt and uncle during the race while the younger boys fell asleep.
We later found out that the winds had been so bad 400 people had been pulled and many rescued from the huge waves during the swim. My aunt and uncle were passed by "The Truck" 3/4 of the way through the cycling portion. The winds were so bad they said they had to pedal at full speed just to make it down hill. We felt bad they got pulled before the marathon since it is there strong point.
We rolled out the red carpet and made a sign for them to come home to while we were at church. Of course they will try another Ironman, but they are my idols just for signing up.
Oh yeah, and the "baby sitting", such a joke. Those were the best kids I have ever been around. They took care of each other and remembered where they had to be and when. Zach and I not only have our parents to look to, but a wonderful aunt and uncle who raised the most perfect children.
Thanks again for letting us play house and hang out with your amazing family.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
