Friday Night

Last Friday night I took the kids to the park and had a picnic. We found a nice park by the river in South Jordan.We had fun eating, playing, and went for a walk along the river. It’s so fun to make everything an adventure. We always see potato bugs and snails in our yard, but they are somehow more interesting on a nature walk.

Micah got up really close to this dragonfly.  He’s examining it very closely.

Before the picnic we painted with ice cubes. It was really fun, but it was so hot that they didn’t last long.

Bouncin, Marshmallow Poppers, and Fireworks

One Saturday in June, we had a busy day! In the morning we went to Bouncin Off the Walls. It was free for two hours. I am the queen of finding free stuff to do.

We were the first ones there, so we had a good 15 minutes with the place to ourselves. The kids loved it! They both say it was their favorite thing we’ve done this summer. The big slide was their favorite. Micah has decided he’s asking Santa for it. He’s pretty convinced he’ll get it if he asks. Hmmm.

Then in the afternoon made marshmallow poppers. (cups that have the bottom cut off and a balloon on the end) Pretty fun! Have a snack while you play too!

That night we went to Pete and Amanda’s to watch the Cedar Hills fireworks. The kids LOVE being with their cousins. I’m so happy we get to see everyone often.

All the cousins lined up waiting for the fireworks to start.

I love the view from their backyard!

It was hard to get some shots of the fireworks. Here’s a decent one.
