Utah trip

Luckily the first day was the warmest day because that's the day we spent the most time playing outside with the Allens.

I quickly decided that if I am ever stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean I want to be stranded with the Allens because they will be the best at shimmying up trees to get coconuts.  

 I'm no judge of Horseflesh but it looks like a pretty horse to me and very talented riders.

 Sam could ride as well.  Emily would walk in front and the horse would just follow her around.

 When we played red-rover-red-rover Sam was a bull.

 This time Hyrum just about ripped my arm out of socket.

This time he tried diving over my arm.  Perhaps he tried it because he had seen his uncle do it.  Hyrum unfortunately landed square on his nose instead of in a roll.
But he recovered quickly.

Live long and prosper

 Nothing beats Duck Duck Goose

 Everyone's picking on me.

After spending the afternoon with the Allens, we went over to the Elggren's house for a party.

"This is a GREAT party!" --Alex

 Hilary got to celebrate a late birthday

 Everyone else eating cake and ice cream, Dad eating a banana.  Totally normal.

 Finally gets to meet her newest nephew, Lincoln.

Hilary also got to meet up with several old friends

Sam's Reign of Terror

I'm Hilary and I'm awesome.

This is my husband and he's even awesomer.
But the story today is about a rapscalion named Sam who found a stick.
And decided he was going to whack everybody with said stick.
OH NO!
Everyone fled in terrorBut Sam chased after.

They set up a defensive perimeter
Lucy said she wouldn't go down without a fight.
She ordered Hyrum to jump down
And attack from the flank.
Sometimes he would accidentally hit teammates.
She would throw.
And duck
And throw again
But Sam was crafty.
When Lucy popped up he attacked.
Sam got her and in a poof of snow she vanished.
"hmmm. Who to take down next"
With Lucy gone we fled in terror down the hill
But Sam chased after
He took down Justin and Hyrum
HAHAHA
Brian raced away
But none could escape his penguin speed.
Sam took down Brian
Now to get Mommy.
Uh oh, don't try to hit mommy.
I'm too good at hiding. Nobody finds me.
