Lamb Days / Summer Fun

Kristen and Shelly Johnson invited us down to their home in Fountain Green for Lamb Days! The kids loved it. Bert and I are not parade goers so our kids have only seen the ones at Disneyland. But I actually enjoyed this small town parade! It was fun to see the kids' excitement about the candy they collected and the floats.

Especially the "princess" floats! They couldn't get enough of them and would wave the whole time they were driving by us!


After the parade the kids were able to make rockets and launch them! They thought that was so cool.They also have a fun playground at their house that they spent a lot of time on!


Then we headed over to the park where the rides and booths were set up! It was soooo hot that day so the kids are all sweaty in these pictures! All they wanted to do was ride on this ride called the Sheeper Creeper which was basically a 4-wheeler hauling around a trailer in a big circle around the park. They used up almost all their tickets on this ride.

Then we got snow cones and enjoyed them in the shade! Can you see all the pink stamps on Jacks' arms? He got a stamp as a prize for playing in one of the booths and he went to town with that thing before I noticed what he was doing!

It was a really fun day! Thanks to the Johnson Family for hosting!


These last few pics are some of the fun stuff we have done this summer that I have forgotten to blog about! We had a primary activity in July where Ben brought the firetruck and Dave brought his Trooper car and they talked to the kids about safety and then Ben sprayed them all with water! The kids always love this activity and it's really nice for us leaders because we really didn't have to do anything!


We love having my mom and sisters around during the summer and so we have spent a lot of time at Nana's house playing in the backyard!


The other night we got our slip-and-slide out for the kids to play on. When we were first looking at our house I hated the backyard. The whole thing is a hill. But I have sort of turned around because we had so much sledding on it in the winter and now slip-and-sliding in the summer. The hill isn't too bad I guess!!




That last one is really blurry but you can see on their faces how much fun they were having! They thought it was so fun to all go down together! These kind of summer activities are sometimes the best!
