The first thing we wanted to do was take the ATV's out for a ride. As the guys were getting them out of storage, the girls wandered around the property finding fun things to do. Clara was first shown the "swing" and was in heaven. She LOVES swings. The rest of the weekend, all I had to do to distract her from playing in the dirt was say, "Do you want to go swing?" She would run right over to the hammock and climb right in.
Clara's almost twin, Brooke, came too. Brooke is a mere 2 weeks older than Clara and they act and look a lot alike. Brooke doesn't like swings so they found a trampoline. I took Clara over to jump on it. She was unsure of herself at first, but when she saw how much fun her twin was having, she forgot all fears and had a blast.
Next came the ATV rides. We decided to all go and just go slow enough that Brooke and Clara could come along. Clara LOVED it. The whole rest of the weekend, she kept asking to be put on the ATV. Once on it, she wanted us to make it "go" for her. Her favorite part of the ride was seeing a horse up close and personal. I figured she would get scared, but she giggled with sheer delight when she finally saw it.
The guys decided to go shooting when we got back from the ATV rides (and while dinner was cooking.) Jeremy was a little nervous to shoot a gun since he hadn't done it since he was a boy scout at age 12. However, his nerves soon left him. The highlight of the weekend for him was the fact that he shot a clay pigeon. (And yes, it was flying through the air.)
The next morning, all the guys headed out on a long and faster ATV ride while the moms packed up the belongings and cleaned. The twins watched the movie "Curious George" while we waited for everyone to get back.
We then headed into Fillmore to visit the old Territorial Capitol of Utah. It was a pretty interesting museum. Clara loved being able to run from one room to the next!The last thing we did before we came home was head to the city pool for some swimming. We had to laugh that our little twins even had the same bathing suit. Both suits were bought on clearance at the end of last summer too. :)
It really was a great weekend.As a side note, this is a picture of the jumper I made my downstairs neighbor. I mentioned it in last week's post.
