Monday art day...

Sunscreen painting.

Then we had to take advantage of free slurps at 7/11.

Tuesday we took advantage of cheap movie day and went to see Minions.  It was pretty cute.

 

The kids really liked it.

Then the kids begged to have a lemonade stand.  I told them it was too hot outside and no one was really out and about in this heat.  The insisted and McKay wanted to do face painting as well.

Their hearts were in it but the heat was too much and people just were not out or stopping.  They made a dollar.

Play group was at Copper Creek Neighborhood pool.  We had a fun time with friends.

Then headed to the lake with the YW for our activity that night.  The lake was warm and not refreshing, but we had a good time anyway.

Then we decided to have a family fun night out.  We went to Ripley's Believe It or Not.

We explored the Mirror Maze which was everyones favorite part.

Then we explored the museum.  Some of it freaked the younger kids out but for the most part it was fun and interesting.

Super fun night out playing together.

Saturday we went to hang at the church while Alex fixed the volleyball net.  Then we built new soccer/hockey goals.

After we did an activity out of the adventure book... Bowling but backwards.  Everyone has bumpers and you are trying to knock down the least amount of pins and doing silly or different ways of bowling.  Such a silly idea but very hard for the younger two to understand.

Not very often you see winning about knocking lots of pins down. 

Sunday Stanley lost his front tooth.

Sunday bakeday!

Thus tradition is starting to die a little bit.  I don't want to eat as much sugar and the kids are interested as much in helping.  So sad but I was happy they wanted to bake this Sunday.

Fourth of July we started our day out with our traditions.  First blue and red color fight!

Then we did some baking.

Had to get all decked out for the night.

Then fireworks which we didn't know were illegal.  The last couple years the neighborhood was a huge light show.  But it has been a really really dry summer.  We didn't get anything big but did fell bad that we were the only ones out and that it wasn't allowed.  

Fun day!

Tuesday we went to Burger Lake with friends.

Sadly I dove in and forgot to take off my watch and it fell to the bottom of the lake!  But besides that we had a blast.

Lots of nights we spend out back in the shade.  This week we got the face crayons out again.

Wednesday play group was at Twin Point Beach.

Another great lake day!

Thursday library day.

Friday we got to go to the temple for Adam's endowment.  So nice to be at the temple with friends. 

Saturday we cleaned the church...

Alex got me a new watch!

Then we celebrated a friend.  

A great week and quickly back into reality after my trip.

Just a video of Hazen being his cute self...
