My family came down and we did the Race for the Cure.
We have been doing this for the last couple years and love it. All of us walked the mile except for Mel and Phil and they ran it. They did great. Cooper wasn't feeling well so he wasnt happy in the pictures. After the race we went to Kneadersvfor for free French toast. The rest of the day we spent at Boondocks in Layton and had a lot of fun.
Cayman had one of her pre-school graduations that we went to and were able to see what she has learned and done in school. The class put on a program with singing and then they received their alphabet book. I am so proud of our little Cayman
We went outside and had a pool party in our backyard when it was so hot and no pools were open yet. The kids had fun getting each other wet and playing with chalk.
The next day Cayman had a field trip with her other pre-school class to the Hogle Zoo. We had so much fun going with all her friends and Cooper loved it too. We were able to go on the train ride and the carousel and Cayman had a great friend named Silas there. They held hands and did everything together. He is a cute boy.
Here is picture overload of the Zoo!
This is is Caymans class morning and afternoon mixed.
Cayman had her last soccer game of the year and we were able to throw a BBQ for all her soccer buddies and families. We had everyone over after the game and visited, ate and gave them a trophy. It was really fun and Cory was glad to not be coaching anymore
One morning we ate breakfast outside and then went to Liberty park. We let the kids ride the old rides and then Cory rented a paddle boat to go around the lake. It was so fun and the kids were having a blast. We went and walked around the water park for a little bit and got our feet wet. It is a great park to play at. After the park we had pizza and the kids got to make their own. So fun!
It is sno cone season and I am so excited!! Here are the happy faces.
The kids made plaster stones to go in the garden this past weekend and they got to make them with water and plaster, paint them, and then put them in the garden. It was very messy but lots of fun.
This past Memorial day Weekend we reserved a cabin in Driggs called the Blue Buffalo Condos and went up on Friday. We were going with Corys family but only Cj and his mom were able to go. We got to Rexburg a bit early so we met up with the family and had lunch then went out to my moms grave and decorated it with patriotic stuff. We met Cj and Connie at Big Juds in Archer to eat dinner with my family. I was surprised when Phil and Cj both took on the Big Jud Challenge. It is eating a 1lb hamburger and bun and then you get your picture on the wall. It was quite entertaining. Cj got a little more than half down and gave up but Phil kept going like it was nothing. He finished it and got his picture taken. That is one big burger. Gross!!
We headed up to the cabin after dinner and unpacked then hit the sack. The next morning we got up and got ready and went into Jackson Hole. We stopped at the Spud drive-in and saw the biggest potato. Of course we had to get pictures.
We had fun sightseeing
and going in the little shops, and the kids were able to make a few crafts.
Cayman made a necklace, a candle and got her face painted. Cooper got his face painted too.
It was not the best weather and then the thunder and lightning started and it was enough to scare the kids silly. It was so loud and echoing in the mountains. Then it started raining. At least we had shops to go in and look at.
. We found one called Teton Toys and oh my, it was the best toy store I have ever seen. It was awesome. The kids loved it and played for a while.
We then went and got some Old time photos taken. It was so much fun. Cooper looked darling as a little cowboy and Cayman looked so cute in her old fashioned clothing. I was an Indian and Cory a Cowboy. So Fun!!
That night we went to the Bar J Wranglers Chuckwagon show. It is a chuck wagon dinner and then a singing show that is put on in this barn. It is lots of fun just the food is not great. We walked around the little trail they had and got some pictures. That was a long day for us.
Sunday we just stayed at the cabin and were lazy. The kids were playing hide and seek with Cj and Cory and this is where Cj put Cooper so Cayman couldn't find him.
It was up so high and Cooper thought so funny. Cayman walked into the room and Cooper would say something and she would look all over, in the cabinets, around the door but never up. Boy was she surprised. It was funny.
Monday we got up and checked out and headed to Mesa Falls. We stopped and looked at the Lower Mesa Falls and the Upper Mesa Falls.
It is so pretty.
We had to stop and get lunch at the Frostop and of course get an Ice cream cone. It is famous for the ice cream! Yummy stuff!
That ended our our vacation for the weekend. We came home and let the kids play at the splash park and then went to bed. We have had a few fun weeks!! Love it!!
