Fun & Games


Grandma had a whole day of activities planned originally for Father's Day, but since it rained and was like 40 degrees outside, we postponed the games for a later date. The kids played T-Ball, soccer, frisbee, ring toss, basketball and bowling with each other and with the dads. It was a whole lot of fun! Will and his sister who lived next door came to join in on the games. Afterward, each kid got a medal to wear around their neck, because they all were winners!!
Grandpa also had some fun and games for the kids. He called it his "Grandpa Activity." Grandpa took the kids from room to room throughout the house and they pretended each room was a place, such as the library, church, a hotel, a bowling ally, etc. At "church" the kids each got to give a little talk and they ate bread and water for pretend. In the "library" they got to check out books from the shelf. In the "hotel" they got to watch a movie, and at the "bowling ally" (hallway) they got to go bowling. There were all sorts of rooms and the kids thought that was super fun.
We had so much fun at Grandma & Grandpa's house and visiting all kinds of places, people, and things in Utah. It was a memorable trip that we won't forget. Cooper especially keeps asking to go to Utah on an airplane again. It is hard to explain to a 3 year-old that it is difficult to pay for airplane tickets and travel all the way to Utah with a family of 5 often. I told him we will go next summer, but he complains that that is "toooo lonnnng." He had a wonderful time, as did Jaxton and Kaylee. Nate & I had a great time too. We were able to establish some great memories with the kids that will last forever. Thank you Grandma & Grandpa, cousins, family, and friends for a great trip!
