Family Fun

We had a great week but a busy one.  Tuesday Liz, Megan, the kids and me went to see Grandma.  She is reading a story about what heaven is like.  We sure love her.

Fred help Dave put the new swing set together.  This is how it all started.

                                            Here is the finished product with the kids having fun.

Saturday we decided to see the new City Creek Mall.  We decided to ride the Front Runner.

Albany thinks she is a big as the rest of us.

Of course the cousins thinks it is great to all sit in the same seat.

At City Creek there was a great splash pad.  The kids had a ball.  They are drying out now.

After shopping until we dropped or some of us just dropped, we stopped at Cafe Rio and had dinner.  Then Sara had tickets to the gymnastics competition.  Savanna loved it and all of the kids were so good. 

U of U came in second.

Thanks to the trax system we missed our train to come home.  We had to wait one and one half hours for the next one.  It is very late at night now.  All of the kids went to sleep.  Jack started out this way.

And ended up like this.  Very tired kids and adults.  All in all it was a great day.

Ben helping Dave get the kite up but the wind was not cooperating very well.  Dave had tied an extra couple of hundred feet of string on to see how high it would go. 

I found this riding horse at the DI the other day and the kids like it a lot.  Here's Jack with Grampa's hat out for a ride around the house.  It's a small horse so the feed bill isn't too bad.

I planted ten rows of peas, two of onions and two rows of carrots along the side of the straw berries.  The straw berries really need to be thinned.
