Tuesday I had a dream about a baby tarantula building a web between the bunk beds and some boxes....and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and went to the Temple. We went to the library for story time and the craft. They got to make huge monster masks. In the afternoon there was a fun summer/ goodbye party for a family that moved on Friday. Then that night we went down to the Manti Temple Pagent. The blanket area is getting smaller and smaller. The blanket area is off to the side, but you can still see fine. Jared really wanted to sit there and I figured it was probably better for everyone there...They could lay down when they got tired. Well right when it started Lauren decided that she wanted to sit in the chairs....and she told me she was going to. I thought she was going to sit in the chairs right next to us but she took off running. She ran all the way up to the front center and found herself 3 chairs and sat down. Alan went up and got her and they ended up sitting in different chairs, but where Lauren thought they could see better. All of the boys fell asleep towards the end, but Lauren stayed up for the whole thing. There is a part where they portray Jesus coming to the Temple in Bountiful. Bradley kept saying Connor it's Jesus. Look do you see Him...Remember. It was super cute. We had to go through Nephi to get there because hwy 89 was closed because of wild fires. We got home around 1:15 am.

Wednesday was a marathon home teaching and visiting teaching night. We got home taught and my visiting teacher came too. Alan and I both had appointments scheduled too, but neither of them were home when we went.
Thursday we played outside here and Connor was starting to have a fever....it never got over 100 or so...so not too high.

Lauren had a fever on Friday, so we tried to keep her inside as much as possible. Hand Foot Mouth disease is going around our quad. (You have a fever and blisters in the mouth and down the throat and on the palms of hands and bottoms of feet) There are several...6 or 7 different families that have had it. We kept hoping and praying that they wouldn't get it...and all they had were fevers. Lauren's was a little higher than Connor's. Jared and Brad didn't get fevers either.... In the Evening while Alan was at the Temple we went to the Bean Museum one last time before it closes for over a year. We will miss having it as a cool (or warm) place to get out of the house to.
The smoke from the fire in the sunset. All week it smelled smoky outside...the wind was blowing it our way.
Saturday we went to the Children's Parade. We all walked along and enjoyed our popsicles at the end. Even though Lauren didn't feel well she still liked walking for part. We dropped Alan off on campus so he could get some work done. We came home and rested a bit and then later in the afternoon after Alan got back we went to Winco. That night we finished watching Gus (the old Disney movie). Everyone was laughing super hard in some parts.
Bradley built a block temple while waiting for everyone else to get ready for the parade.
Sunday Lauren, Bradley, Connor, and I stayed home from church because we didn't want to catch or spread hand foot mouth if we had it...or didn't. Jared and Alan went...Jared thought it was pretty cool that they got to stay together for their whole time at church....I pointed out that they did every week, but some how it was different since they were they only ones who went. Connor didn't have a fever any more and Lauren's was gone by Monday. By the time the evening had come we were all ready to get out of the house, so we went to the Patriotic Fireside. This year they had it at UVU's UCCU Center (because the Marriot Center is getting new chairs) It was fun to go hear the speakers and the music.
