Wacky Wednesday

Our ward has what they call Wacky Wednesday during the summer. Every Wednesday they get together at 10 a.m. and go somewhere fun.
We finally made it to one this summer.  It was at Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove. We have never been there before. Perhaps it's because we have many fun parks nearer to us.
We got there late because Zach doesn't get out of summer school until 11:00. Sadly we only ran into 2 other families from the ward.  I later found out the because the numbers were so small at the caravan meet, that they decided to go somewhere else.  Oh well, we still had a blast.

Summer fun

        Hope wears herself out and then falls asleep in the swing, almost every time we go out.

The pictures say it all...

Hail in May.

What crazy weather we are having this year. I think we went from winter to summer.

                                            The white stuff on the bottom of the slide is hail.  It piled up so much that            part of it slide off into the wood chips
Here is a pic of it hailing and raining. It hail so much it covered the lawn and turned it white. Hope called it snow.  I was worried that my tomato plants(planted the day before, after mother's day) would die. But happily they lived.

Zach's 13th Birthday

We now have 3, yes 3, teenagers in our house.  Zach turned 13 on May 20th ( yes, I'm behind).

He wanted to go to Texas road house for dinner. Loren has pic's of him on his phone I'll have to post when I can snag it.  Zach ordered a whole rack of ribs.  No, he didn't finish it.  But he had fun trying.
We then went home and had cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday, son.

Ethan's Birthday

K, so I am just a little behind!

Our sweet Ethan turned 10 on May 4th. Loren's parents came in town to celebrate with us.Ethan invited friends to a Belade party.  Around Ester I found bey blades on sale for $4.oo.  They are normally $8, so I snagged a lot of them.  This worked out great for the party.

We played games that had 1 winner. 

frozen t-shirt game

coloring contest

flip marbles into bowls

blowing bubbles with frozen gum

 When they won they got to pick a surprise from the bag-all bey blades. At the end of the party they had a bey blade  tournament with 2 stadiums.  The boys had a blast.

Ethan thinks one of the  best gifts was from his grand parents (E's).  The gave him a small fold up stadium that he took to school with him everyday, in his backpack.

 He and some friends play bey blades at recess.
