Summer 2009

This summer we had alot of fun. There were a few things that I have yet to blog about because I really have not been in the blogging mood. So I figured I would make one big blog to highlight a few of the things that we have done. So here goes...

We made it to one Chukar's game this year. And only because it was free!! Our friends, the Daniels, had some free tickets so they invited us, and the Nelson's, to a game with them. It was pretty fun. This is the first game that we have been to that the other team didn't "blowout" the Chukars. We left after the 7th inning while the Chukars were winning, and I believe they won the game. We actually enjoy going to the games but it is just way to hard to go with the kids. They get bored pretty easy. So maybe when they are a little bit older we can be regulars to the game. We will see...

Here we are at the game.

We also made it down to Rexburg's "splash park". This was also with the Daniels. Their little girl Ellie had her 3rd birthday party here and invited us to go. It looks like a really fun place for the kids. It has a bunch of water fountains that squirt up from the ground, slides, and at the very top of the structure it has a huge red bucket that is constantly being filled up with water, then when it is full the bucket tips over and pours all of the water on the kids heads. So fun and cute!! The whole time we were there I was wishing I was a kid again. Ashlyn didn't play that much, she just stood by splashing in the water. She hates getting water in her face so she refused to go up on the big toy. Blake on the other hand thought it was a blast, but the water was cold and he couldn't handle it for too long.

Here is Blake getting sprayed in the back with water.



My little chicken. This is all she would do.
(If you look at the top of the picture you can see the big red bucket I was talking about.)



Blake going down the slide.



Last but not least... during Labor Day weekend, we went down to Boise to be with my sister Jenna and her family to watch them be sealed to their newly adopted baby girl Sadie. They also had her blessing that weekend as well. Here are some pictures taken at the temple...

Here is a picture with my entire family.

We also made it to a "play land" called Wahooz while we were in Boise. I didn't get any pictures there because I didn't want to have to carry my camera around. There, we got to ride Go Carts, and Bumper Boats. There was a big "little kid area" with slides and things to climb on. Also batting cages and arcade games. The kids had alot of fun!
