Pioneer Day Parade

Okay I really have to work on taking more pictures.  Luckily I took a few of my kids with their cousins.  Lexie loves cousins.

The night before we went about 9:00 pm to find a place and it was packed.  I couldn't believe it.  Next year we will have to go really early  and hang out so we can find a great place.  It is also hard saving a spot for about twenty people.

Sadie is going to kill me for posting this picture.  She basically had time to get her clothes on, brush her hair and head out the door.  By the way the boy in the picture is my little brother.

Rule number one when going to the parade find a place in the shade.  We were in the shade and toward the front so it was great.

Toward the end Elijah was done.  He kept trying to lay down on the ground, silly kid.  Family fun.

Wheeler Farm

I decided we needed to visit Wheeler Farm last week.  It has been so hot I tried to get their early but it still wasn't early enough.  It was very hot but we still had fun.

Elijah has found a new talent.  He has learned to climb.  Wheeler Farm was a great place because they had lots of things for him to climb on.

David enjoyed seeing the calves.  One was just a few weeks old.  So cute.

There is a great big tree that  is perfect for climbing on and had great shade.  Lexie loved being able to climb so high.

There was this one chicken that Elijah loved chasing.  He tried to catch her but was not fast enough.

Summer Fun...Church History Museum

This summer I have been trying hard to take the kids on outings at least once a week.  It has been so hot I have had to come up with ideas that keep us from getting hot.  Last we took Trax downtown to the Church History Museum.  It was David's first time on Trax and he loved it.  He loves Thomas the train plus his dad takes Trax every day so being on Trax was a big deal for him.

We went to The Church History museum.  The kids loved the activites.  They got to dress in Biblical costumes and be part of the nativity scene.  

Elijah found a new way to have fun with the bean bag toss game.

Lexie enjoyed coloring paper dolls.  It was a fun day.
