A Visit From an Aunt

Becky came to Utah to visit from the 7th to the 11th.  She stayed with us for two days and with Brita for two days.  We are holding Brianna and Kyle's bed until they get their own place and need it, so we actually have a guest room set up! It was fun to have her in town and we had plenty of activities to do.  Scott had his busiest week working 5 days along with interviewing for another job position (more about his other two jobs in a different post).  It was fun to spend time with just Becky, however I've gotten used to knowing that when Scott's family is in town, I will be the one hanging out with them and not him. :)

I picked up Becky from the airport on Tuesday and we met Scott at home.  We went out for Chinese food and then played games (specifically Ticket to Ride).  Scott had to work the next morning and since it was Wednesday, it was story time at the library.  We went to story time, played at the park and then put Kylie down for a nap.  Brita invited us to go to the museum of natural curiosity and it was fun. After the museum we had dinner and played games again once Scott got home from work.

Thursday was a fun-filled day!  Scott gave us the idea to go to Gardner Village and feed the ducks, so we went and found out that the witch-fest was going on!  I did the witch scavenger hunt 2 years ago with Rebecca and the kids and it was fun.  It's such a fun Halloween activity and I'm glad Becky was able to do something different up here.  We did the scavenger hunt and got Kylie her $.35 cookie along with lunch.

After Gardner Village, we hung out at home for about 2 hours and got an invite to the pumpkin patch from Brita.  It was a cute little pumpkin patch that had a small corn pit to play in.  Kylie loved the corn pit and didn't want to leave.  She loved all the space to walk around as well, but wasn't too interested in the pumpkins.  She was more content to just run up and down the field.  I didn't get any pumpkins as I wanted to wait until we went to a pumpkin patch with Scott.  Becky stayed with Brita that night so no game playing occurred.

Friday morning I went grocery shopping and then headed to Brita's later in the afternoon.  Jocelyn was having her birthday party the next day and I went over to help make cupcakes and the cake.  Jocelyn was having a High School Musical party so the obvious choice was to decorate like a basketball.  I stayed for dinner and then Scott came over after work.  We played games and surprisingly, Kylie fell asleep in Dylan's crib!  We were playing games until about 11:30 and with Kylie still asleep, we decided to stay the night.  We left after breakfast to shower and change before heading up the canyon.

Kylie was cheering on her Royal's that night!

After showers on Saturday, we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Silver Lake.  I'll post pictures from that on a different post as there are so many good ones.  We then took Becky to the airport and said good-bye.  Thanks Becky for coming to visit!  We sure had a lot of fun with you.
