Camping, G, etc.

We have had a fun summer. In August my sister Lexi visited with her family so we went to Southern Utah for a fun family reunion. Monday we swam in the Great Salt Lake. It was pretty fun, but we didn't bring swim suits and just swam in our clothes. That was fine until G wanted to take his shirt off. That led to J wanting her's off too. I didn't think that was so bad (she's only two)so took it off her. Next she proceded to remove her shorts and diaper too. She wouldn't put them back on for anything, so she swam in the buff. Luckily the beach wasn't very crowded.
Later in the week we drove down to Bryce Canyon and Zion's National Parks. The kids had so much fun with their cousin! A wasn't so excited about all the hiking by the last day, so we started telling them we were going on a walk instead of a hike. He seemed okay with that. They loved playing in the river and climbing all the rocks. I loved seeing everyone and playing games. I'll post some pictures soon.
School started right after our trip. S and A are enjoying learning new things. G is enjoying preschool. Mommy's enjoying a quieter house.
We had a scare about a week ago. G had another seizure. He is taking seizure medicine now and we are hoping that will control it. Luckily he has only ever had them in night while he's been in bed. It's scary though. Hint: If someone you know has a seizure for the first time, film some of it with your phone or something. We did that and it seemed to help when explaining to nurses and doctors what happened.
