Haircuts and Cousins!

School starts in 6 days. I figured it was time to get the girls their back to school haircuts. It turned out their cousins from Las Vegas, Victoria and J.J., were visiting their Grandma this week in St. David. I called and asked if they could come get haircuts with us. We met at the salon in Benson. I planned on taking before and after pictures but for some reason my cameras batteries had been removed! After haircuts we went to the park to play for an hour or so. On the way there we stopped by a gas station and picked up some drinks, snacks, and of course batteries!!
After the park we went and hung out at my Dad's for awhile. The kids played outside in the sand. They made a cool sandcastle city but I didn't get a picture of it. They pet the horse, ran around with the dogs, chased the chickens, gathered eggs, and played with the cats. J.J. got a big kick out of Bonzo. He laid on the floor by her and every time he touched her tail she would twitch it away. He'd laugh, he has the cutest little laugh. The picture looks like he's sleeping by the cat but he's just pretending.

While they were outside building sandcastles they dug up a baby frog. It was so cute and tiny. We went down to look at Will's new house and when we came back the frog was out of the jar jumping all over the house. J.J. finally trapped it under the jar. We let the feisty little guy go outside after that!


Then I took my Dad and the kids out to eat. We went to Denny's. We all ordered breakfast. We must have all been really hungry because when we left there wasn't anything left on the plates except for a few grapes. It was so much fun to see J.J. and Victoria. Since they live in Las Vegas we don't get to see them that much. It made the last week of summer vacation extra special!
