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.

Micah with Grandma N. The kids are so excited that Grandma and Grandpa live in Utah now!

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.
