Summer Travels: Mesquite

 After church and lunch, we headed to Mesquite to see Grandma and Grandpa O and Bean, who was visiting them.

It was Squirtle Day on Pokémon Go. Megan was kind of excited....
We spent some time driving around slowly (because eggs hatched at 1/4 the distance from 2-5 pm) and catching lots of Squirtles.

Matthew and Bean playing. Bean was the queen and Matthew was her brave knight.

The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and Megan and Matthew introduced Bean to the joys of scorpion hunting. (They found 4 and were able to kill 3.)

Grandma, Bean, Megan and Matthew playing Mexican train dominoes. It is a very long game! We also played Oh Heck!, Red 7 and Qwixx.

Grandpa squirting Matthew. Matthew had also squirted grandpa, which is why Megan is holding Matthew. However, grandpa had squirted Matthew first.

Megan and Matthew put buckets over their heads and swam around.

Matthew, Megan and Bean in the pool. They really spent a lot of time in the pool. Hours in the morning and hours in the evening.

Beautiful sunset!

Matthew and Bean enjoyed playing with the PlayMobils.

Me: Matthew, Bean is not your pet.
Bean: Yes, I am. 

Watching Revengineers.

We went to a ward pool party. The kids enjoyed the big twirly slide.

After we got back from the pool party, Me and Matthew swam in the pool with the lights on. Sometimes the lights changed colors and sometimes they didn't. It was a nice ambiance and a good time to chat some with Matthew.

Matthew liked playing with the pool noodles.
