On Monday we went to see Brave. It was so cool. Spoiler alert (sorry mom): The girls mom turns in to a bear.
Tuesday we went to Katelin's house while dad was at the allergy doctor. It was real fun. I played with their dog, Jovi. I fell over and she tackled me. While my dad was at the doctor he learned that he is allergic to every kind of grass in the world. He won't be mowing our lawn for awhile.
On Wednesday we went to Lake Geneva. It was best day of them all. We got lunch at Popeye's. Me and Alex shared crab legs. After that my dad took us for a surprise to the Dancing Horses Animal Garden. It's a place where there are a whole bunch of animals. We got tickets and went in the baby barn. There was a kangaroo there. There was a door in the baby barn that took us outside to the goats. I kept getting tackled by a little white goat. After that we went to a really funny bird show. Then we went back to the baby barn and in to a small room where we held a bunch of baby kittens. Next up was the dancing horses show. It was so cool. I told dad there would be horses dancing on their hind legs. He didn't believe it but there actually were horses dancing on their hind legs. At the end there was a big water show with water jets and rainbow lights. When we were about to leave I hurried to the fence to say goodbye to one of the baby goats that I named baby brownie. After we left we went for ice cream and back home.
Thursday was the last day of swimming lessons. Both me and Alex passed level 1.
After lessons we quickly went home and showered and then we went to Action Territory. We played in the jungle gym and went to the arcade to win tickets. The last game I played won me 400 tickets. We had 1273 tickets total! We went to cash them in and I got and art set and a slinky. Alex got two styrofoam things that I think were torpedoes? Chloe also got an art set and a slinky. After Action Territory we went to get dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Our Bishop was there alone because his wife and daughters were at Girls Camp so he came and ate at our table. Then dad took us to see Avengers. Yep, daddy spoiled us!
On Friday we started our new swimming session in level 2. Yeah,yeah, yeah level 2. Then mom came home from Girls Camp. Her hair looked a little orange. We went to Red Robin for lunch and then mom slept all day. I watched the video of the skit mom's group did and it was so funny. I watched it 100 times. :D It was fun having dad watch us, except I missed my mom.
Now I am off to stay up late and watch the Olympic try outs. By the way, tomorrow is my 10th birthday. Grandpa I don't have your number in Germany so call me so we can say happy birthday to each other.

Wow, it looks like Dad kept the kids busy while Mom was away. I haven't heard of the place in Lake Geneva. It looks like so much fun! Dad did a great job being Mr. Mom for the week!
Congrats on passing Level 1 swimming. The girls are currently in swim lessons everyday for two weeks are having a lot of fun.
Another great post Alyssa! You are a great writer-like your Mom. :)
Way to go Seth! That was an amazing week. I loved all of the fun places you went-especially the one with dancing horses. How awesome is that?!?!
I want to know more about your Mom's hair....
Dad's get all the fun spoiling the kids while mom is away. Love the tickets and the swim lessons and the allergy test update. Who's on board to mow the lawn? How was girls camp? Did I miss the orange hair video?
Looks like a blast. I'll be checking out some of those places for sure! How much fun to have such fun dad time. Nice to know they're having fun if you have to be away, right Julie? =)
