A full week of fun

I had the wonderful opportunity to go on Pioneer Trek with my Stake this year. We walked nearly 30 miles, but the weather was beautiful. I slept better than I do at home because no children woke me in the night. I wore pretty dresses and fun aprons. My feet hurt by the time I got back home. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was able to be in a family which made the experience all the better.



Now that I am home I am doing all sorts of activities with the kids. On Tuesday we went to the store and bought the kids a Spiderman scooter to share and Lila got her first trike. It was fun watching her try to pedal then give up when it got to be too much work so she just used her feet on the ground.







Yesterday we went to the theater and watched The Lion King, then came home and had some friends over for a water balloon fight in the front yard.




Today it was the dentist for Mommy and immunization shots for the kids. Grandma Sue came down to help make Grant brave. He wouldn't get out of the car without some major coaxing. Lila only had one shot, but Grant needed 3 in order to be ready for kindergarten. We then bought lunch and brought it home. The kids ate like kids do. Off and on again. We then painted sun catchers. Grant has been waiting to do those for few weeks. They both had a great time. Amber helped Lila while Grant was able to do his pretty much on his own. Now it is quiet and cool time with a movie in the downstairs family room. This is a very good way to spend the afternoon on a hot day. I am in the mood for making some cookies. If only my mouth would get feeling back.
