White crayon on white paper then painted over with water colors.
PLUS a Memorial Day BBQ with friends {Angelica & family, Marti & kids, and Seth & Garrity.} There was all the great things to a BBQ: watermelon, meat from the grill, slip in slide, home-made ice cream, & friends. To me this was the kick off to summer!
Tuesday, May 29 "TREAT Tuesday"
We were on camp errands all day. We went to 5 different stores and the kids were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I was so super grateful. Austin was a great helper. He can be such a good leader. Age nine has been good to him. Made S'mores in a cone when we finally got home.
We also went visiting teaching that evening. We had a lot of kids running around outside, it made me laugh. This is what visiting teaching looks like during the summer.
Wednesday, May 30 "WRITING Wednesday"
Writing stories in English/Spanish to keep up with our writing, language and creative thinking skills.
Thursday, May 31 "THOUGHTFUL Thursday"
We grabbed Jen's youngest two kids and went up to Owyhee reservoir to play in the water {and grab rocks for girls camp.} We stopped by the hot springs on the way home. The kids would have stayed there all night if I would have let them {some immodest teenagers came so we left.} It was a very fun afternoon.
Great game of dodge the bubbles got started
This girl just wanted to eat rocks all day. YUM
Trying to keep Ruth in the shade :)
And here is the hot springs:
Friday, June 1 "FUN Friday"
Thursday morning we woke up to 4 of these all over the house:
On our 68 days of summer we have "Host a Talent Show." I said to Emma, "June 1st is tomorrow." Her replied was quick, "Ok!" So we got busy calling the cousins to invite them to our Talent Show. We asked grandma if we could do it on her lawn and busy planing our acts.
Emma was the MC and even made a program. She is super organized. I love it! It was a super cute and not to long sharing. It really turned into a dance party but whatever. Sadly my phone was the music source so I don't have video.
Kenzie did somersaults and danced.
Emma drew a NEW {and shorter} mural.
Brooke played the ukulele and danced.
Ruth danced.
The boys did lots of robot dancing.
Braxton also led all the kids in a scary play.
Spencer did tons of break dancing.
And the dance party:
Mollie sang days of the week and months of the year when she came. It was very precious.
We are a extremely talented family. :)
Saturday, June 2
