Trying to squeeze in every ounce of fun that we could while we were in Utah, we decided to take the kids to the new splash pad. How much fun that was. It's a great way to keep cool in that southern Utah heat. Even Cord enjoyed chasing down the squirting water and walking around in the lazy river. I wish we had fun things like that here in MA. 
So I became a blond again with a cute shorter cut. Meanwhile, Carly got blond streaks in her red hair, and Chelsea got red streaks in her dark blond hair. I told Chelsea that it's the same color as the red dirt from Ivins, so it's like a way to take a little of Utah back home with her. 
After our visit with the Kay family, we headed over to spend sme time with the Davies. They used to live in our neighborhood in Ivins before they moved to Saratoga Springs. Whenever we are up north, we try to find time to visit. I hope these kids will always be BFFs. Our time with them was much to short, but we had to get on the road back to st. george. Have you noticed that in a lot of the group pictures, Cord is usually screaming and trying to get down? I guess it's good enough just to have him in the shot, so he knows he was there.
We eventually let Chelsea "drive" our bike. Both the babies seemed to enjoy the ride. Caleb kept saying "GO, GO" whenever we slowed down to take a break. 
Don't we look cute? We each had to put the pedal to the medal and this thing was really heavy. Good thing Amber is used to riding and Chelsea is young. When we were dragging, she would stand up and get us going again.
Mason and Ethan (not pictured) had these banana bikes while Christian had this cool 3 wheeler.
Rebekah really wanted to pedal, but she wasn't quite tall enough. These crazy girls were all over the road, but were laughing while they were driving.
Luckily they had lights and handrails all throughout the cave.
I think this was the "3 sisters"
Brianna, Kennedy, and Danisha are waiting at the entrance to the cave. There was even a little snow there in the middle of June.
We finally made it to the bottom of the cave. This is the wedding room. We are in front of "the bride" and above us is another formation titled 'the groom". In about 700 years they should finally meet. The guide turned off the light so we could see how dark it was when the cave was first discovered. It was wicked dark in there.
Here's all the Alldredge grandkids (except Rhylan).
This is the kids with "The Great" grandma Mathews. This is my mom's mother and the wonderful lady that Cord is named after.
Grandma, my mom, and her sister Terri enjoying some family time on the beach
Still smiling after a day at the beach. 
The landscape here was beautiful. I just love being surrounded by the mountains. Behind Brianna and Kennedy was a softball field. The kids also played games here during our free time.
This is my sister, Amber, going for a nice walk with Cord and her son Caleb.
The boys loved playing the wii.
Uncle Eric took Brianna and Kennedy for a ride on the 4 wheeler. They were gone for quite a while and came back exhausted. Come to find out that they ran out of gas. So what are ya gonna do? Of course Kennedy and Brianna had to get off and push!
I had the pleasure of celebratng my b-day while we were there. This cake showed up that night which was a great treat for all of us.
Raycel is a couple months older that Chelsea. They have been buddies for a long time.
Brianna and True and so similar it's scary sometimes. When Susie and I swap stories about our girls, it's uncanny how alike they are. 
Mason LOVES hanging out with Riker. They spent quite a bit of time splashing in the pool.
We tried hard to provide a buddy for Paige, but it just didn't happen. She is really cute to play with Cord though. She is such a cutie!
