Since David, Melissa, and the boys live in Victorville, I knew that we would be driving right by their house on the way home from Utah. So, I called Melissa and asked if we could stop by and take the boys for a couple of days. She said that would be great and I was way excited since I hadn't done something like this with them in a while. The first thing we did was wash my car. It was less about getting my car clean and more about letting them play in the water. In fact, I'm pretty sure my car looked dirtier when we got done than it did when we started. : ) BUT the boys seemed to be having a great time. Then, I attached the sprinkler to the hose and we just played in the water.
Next, we went inside to play and the boys found these hats in their toy bins. Pretty soon, they were all dressed up and ready for an impromptu photo shoot.
These little guys are SO cute!
I asked the boys where they wanted to sleep and they told me that they wanted to sleep in my tent. I tried to set it up outside, but we had a leaky sprinkler and the ground was super marshy. Plan B: pitch the tent in the family room. We decided to go to the store and get some snacks for our "campsite" and then we watched Ernest Goes to Camp to make it official.
The next morning, the boys wanted to watch the "Ernest" movies (Ernest Goes to Camp, Ernest Goes to Jail, and Ernest Scared Stupid) over and over and over again. So, we did! And then we met Nancy, Jacob, Joshua, and Dylan at the park.
After the park, we walked across the street to Jacob's house, where we ate dinner and the boys played together. It was a great day! The next day, we went to Target. It's not an Auntie Rach adventure without a trip to Target and my nephews have come to expect it. : ) Afterwards, it was time to head back up the hill to take the boys home and watch the fireworks over their neighborhood in Spring Valley Lake. What a great weekend!
