The best weekend ever, Part Two

On Friday, after a quiet morning of playing with little Camryn, Kenny came home from class and all of us piled into the car to enjoy a hot dog at our favorite next-to-campus hot dog stand, J-Dawgs. Camryn was interested in everything going on around her - she tried to eat some napkins within hand's reach, smiled and laughed as we danced her little bear Teddy on her lap, and watched us eat our hot dogs with wide eyes. Then it was time for Uncle Kenny to go to work, so we dropped him off at home, switched Camryn's outfit so she wouldn't wilt in the warm sunny weather, and set off for a campus adventure.

We studied the hill of steps from the bell tower to the main area of campus and decided navigating a stroller all the way down was a bad idea, even though a very nice student offered to help us, so we took a long route down the hill and through the grass and explored the Jesse Knight (former Humanities) Building and trekked to the top of the Joseph F. Smith Humanities Building to enjoy the vibrant view of campus and the mountains. We even happened upon a huge bouncy blow-up slide set up in Brigham Square and traded off watching Camryn so each of us could clamber to the top, jump a few times for courage, and then race down the steep slide. I even managed not to wipe out spectacularly at the bottom like the kid who slid right before me, caught his foot in a loose flap, and almost catapulted head-over-heels over the safety edge. Leave it to boys to turn a happy fun bouncy slide into a trip to the ER or a lawsuit!

After poking around in the Bookstore, dropping by Dr. Sederholm's office to see if he was there (he wasn't), and taking some time for Camryn to have some milk, we headed home and scared ourselves silly with one of our favorite X Files shows, then hit a delicious local restaurant and strolled the mall before visiting Kenny and work and coming back home for bathtime, a nightcap, and to sing little Camryn to sleep with songs from Shortsands.

We aren't sure how we feel about bath time at Aunt Katie's house!



Okay, maybe it isn't so bad!
