Pioneers and Pool Fun

Our Family Home Evening this week was all about pioneers for Pioneer Day (July 24th). The boys had fun dressing up:)

Our friends moved and gave us some fun stuff to remember them by (or they just didn't want to take it along). We got their little pool and filled it up one afternoon. Tommy was hilarious just swimming away. 

I was taking this picture and right after I snapped it, Damon jumped off and just about landing on Tommy's head. Thankfully, Tommy sat up just as Damon jumped off. Yikes!

Barrett has been really busy lately and been gone most nights. He was able to take off a few hours on Kid Movie Day to join the boys and I. It was a nice little break for him...and me. The boys were really cute snuggling with their dad.

We were excited to have Saturday afternoon to play with dad. We packed up and got ready to go to Killens Pond Waterpark. Unfortunately, when we got there the waterpark had just closed because of thunderstorms in the area. We waited about 30 minutes then found out it would probably be another 30. We thought we could make it to the beach by then. Well, it was farther than we had thought and by the time we got to the beach, it was closed because of the thunderstorms...we ventured to the next beach and it was closed too. The poor boys were thinking we were the worst parents ever. We decided to just go out to eat and ended up at a Chinese Buffet. The boys had the best time and thought it was so cool that you could chose what you wanted to eat. Every time I took Tommy to get food, he'd skip and hop and dance the whole time. He asked if we could go there every night:) They loved it! We also did a little shopping at the outlets while we were there. And, it barely rained.
