Batchelor Cousins

David's mom, step dad and sister now live in Utah. One of his brothers, Jake, decided to come visit while we were here, so three of the five siblings in his family were able to get together. Jake's family had visited us twice when we lived in Utah before and their favorite thing to do was go to Seven Peaks. We all got the Pass of All Passes and headed to Seven Peaks again. (There was a Groupon for the pass so it was cheaper to buy the pass than to just go to Seven Peaks.)

Monday was Seven Peaks Day.

Tuesday we decided to go to the Seven Peaks amusement park in Lehi. I have to be honest, it was pretty lame. It was run down and kind of like an old carnival. It was pretty boring for the teenagers, but there were some things for our kids to do. It definitely wouldn't have been worth it if it hadn't been free with the Pass of all Passes.

Next we went bowling. I think I was dead last of the entire family. I am a pitiful bowler. The kids loved it.

Jalen was pretty enthusiastic, but sometimes tended to "throw" instead of "roll" the bowling ball. In fact, on one occasion his ball ended up in the lane next to ours.

Baylie was quite proud of her score. And let us all know about it...over and over.

Check out that form! Too bad I had more gutter balls than pins down.

David was the best bowler, but I didn't get any good pictures of him.

Kara was way excited about bowling.

The next day we got together for food and swimming. We had wanted to use our passes to see the musical Footloose, but they were sold out. Jake and Jennifer left on Thursday. We didn't get much time with them, but were so glad to have the time we did.

David and the kids went back to Seven Peaks on Saturday. I spent the day with my mom and other family members. With all that's been going on, I haven't been able to spend much time with my parents. The time has gone by quickly.

Update: I forgot to include a picture of me and the kids painting bird houses that David's mom got for us. It was a fun activity.
