Wheeler Farm and Star Party

We went to wheeler farm. It was a lot of fun to walk around and see all the animals. There’s no admission so you can just walk around the grounds. We were there pretty late so the indoor areas weren’t open. 

The Salt Lake Astronomical Society was having a star party there. We  has to wait until it got dark. They had telescopes set up for us to come and look at. It was really neat! The kids loved it. We got some awesome views of Saturn. This is what it looked like:

I didn’t get any actual pictures at the star party. (They wouldn’t be too happy about flashes of light.) We really loved it. We’ll have to go again sometime.

I’ve now let half the year pass by without a post. We’ve been very busy the last six months. I’ll just get updated with some pictures.

Kiah and Micah made a swing on the stairs. They always make me laugh. Always coming up with ideas. They took a few turns, but we didn’t leave it up. (I don’t know how long the railing can hold them.)

Kiah has become very good at handstand flips. She has no fear and it scares me sometimes.

Okay, this makes me laugh! She made bunny ears and taped them to her forehead. She is so my daughter!

We were playing hide-and-go-seek. This is where I found them. They were in a cabinet Schy’s mom had cleaned out. Nice and comfy.

We have been having a fun summer. I made a decision at the beginning of summer that we would do as much fun stuff as possible. I am so tired when I get home from work that it is hard to have the energy to play. I want to be the happy energetic me that I am at the beginning of the day. I don’t want the kids to always have the cranky tired me. So I’ve been working really hard on it. The other day Kiah told me that we have been doing a lot of fun stuff recently. That made me so happy! I guess it’s working.

Here’s some of the summer fun we’ve been having:

We made a list of all the stuff we want to do this summer. We’ve done about a 1/4 of it. These are the things that I didn’t get pictures of. We needed new rechargeable batteries for a while. I finally got some so I could get some pictures of all our fun. I make separate posts for those things we do have pictures of.
