September fun

Now that the kids have started school, Sophie comes with us on Wednesday to help tend Jack.

  

 They love to help make homemade mac and cheese for lunch.

Jamie and Emily went out to dinner, so they dropped their kids off to play with Josh's kids too!

They sure have fun together.

On Saturday, we went to the Park City Olympic Park to do the Adventure Course

Mike and I opted to play with the little boys instead of climb the crazy adventure course.

These two!

Jamie and Family

Krista and girls

Josh and family

The boys had a good time playing on the playground right by the course 

We could watch the kids way up high

 

and the boys on the ground.

The adventure course ended with a fun zipline!!!

Dad's 89th birthday

Sept 16, my cute dad turned 89.  We had a birthday breakfast for him at Bear Park

The kids love when we have a pinata

Even dad enjoyed getting in on the fun!

Candy everywhere! 

Happy Birthday Dad

Solar Eclipse 2017

We had heard about the Solar Eclipse for months, and knew that you needed special glasses to get to view it, but had put off getting them until it was almost too late. 

Originally, they were selling for $1.00, but by the time we got them, we had to wait in line for a couple of hours and paid over $8 a pair for them.  (Supply and Demand at it's best)   They had Fox 13 news there, and we were on the news.

Wheeler Farm was having a big party to view it, so we went there. 

 Paula and Grandma Cline came too.

So did Merijane and her kids, Josh stopped by during his lunch hour.

Krista and her kids

It was very cool to see!

August fun

I have 2 nieces who are just starting out as teachers, Lauren, (Jen's daughter) and Tesa (Ric's daughter in law)  I found some fun ideas on Pintrest, to do them a teacher survival kit.

I put all the things in a wire garbage can and took them over to them.  

I hope they enjoy their first year of teaching,  there are some lucky kids in West Valley and Mapleton!

I hated to see summer come to an end.  We have enjoyed having the kids over to play.

Beading projects

Played games
