Day 2

Ila and Pearl spent their 2nd night up past midnight talking and playing around.
On Tuesday we decided to try out the Curiosity Museum at Thanksgiving point.  None of us had ever been so we didn't know what to expect.  Wow!  We were impressed.
I don't think you can really enjoy that place unless you spend a minimum of 3 days there.  We would drag the kids out of one section of the museum because they were done but they would get to the next section and wouldn't want to leave that place.

 There was something for everyone and every age.

We will definitely have to go back and try this place out again

 Amy was ment to be on stage

We finished off the day by stopping by to visit Grandma Larsen.  Im so thankful Grandma keeps going and is always excited for company.  Im thankful when my kids walk through her door they are welcomed with open arms.  I think grandma is as excited about giving the kids treats as the kids are getting treats from her.  

How much can you squeeze into two days?

When the Adams come to visit there is never enough time to play so very little sleep happens.  They came late on sunday so after a late night of visiting and playing we woke up Monday at took off toward the canyon.

It was a hot day but once we got up high enough we found some remaining snow which helped cool things down a little.

Look at those cute chubby cheeks hanging out under the goggles.

 This is Ila, Crystal and Amy.

 Jake is ready to brave the ride with Avram

 Briggs is our wild man on his little motor cycle.

 Pearl and David are waiting patiently on my 4 wheeler.  I say waiting patiently because I think they endure riding but haven't learned to love it like my children.

 I gave David some lessons on driving and he got to try it out a little bit.  I think he could have some fun on these things once he is driving.

After our ride we enjoyed a little picnic right below the "B" on the mountain.  

The day didn't end without Adam sneaking Pearl and Ila away for a slurpee and a treat

Crystal and I spending a little time shopping the Memorial day sales

A BBQ and movie of Kung Fu Panda

and to wrap it all up a NBA basketball play off game.

Oh and don't forget bath time:

Ila and Amy took turns dancing and jumping up and down.  Pearl was so excited about the constant party.

Memorial Day 2016

We went on an adventure after church today.  We visited several graves:

 Grandpa Larsen

 Becky Clayton

 Grandpa and Grandma Anthony

 And of course, Baby Gabe

 We had a picnic and the kids enjoyed blowing bubbles

Buddy went on our adventure but he had to wait in the car so when we were done we took him to a dog park to get some energy out. 

 This is what a happy dog looks like.

I can't believe we said good bye to kindergarten for the last time.  I will not miss that short day of school but Im really going to miss my little girl when she is gone all day.  

Ila had an amazing kindergarten teacher, Kacie Barker.

 Their graduation program was so cute.  Each week during school they learned a new nursery rhyme. For graduation the recited a dozen different nursery rhymes.  The had cute songs about the presidents of mount Rushmore, the 7 continents, 5 oceans, and counting by 2,3,5 and 10s.
