fun night with friends, and family fun at Lagoon

Friday August 7th Tammy took the kids miniature golfing and then for a sleepover.

The next morning the kids did another Lowe's craft. This time it was power boats!

After that, she took the kids to Dinosaur Park. The kids had so much fun!!

That evening, after we got our kids back, we went to a barbeque. It was at the home of some great neighbors, the Weeks'. They were so gracious, they even had the kids and Tony ride their ATV's. Here's Buddy on the little Power Wheels one.





Faith donned a helmet and started off on one by herself.






Tony took Christian on another one. Doesn't my baby look adorable in a helmet?!





There's a huge field behind our homes and it's a perfect place to ride.

Here's Faith driving up over the gravel mound. She did pretty well and only got stuck once. I was a little worried about her since she'd never been on anything like this before!

After riding, they fed us a delicious dinner of barbecued ribs. It was so much fun spending time with them and getting to know them better!

After we got home, the kids enjoyed the suckers that Tam got them from Dino Park.

Monday the 10th we went with my whole family (minus Eric) to my parents' stake Lagoon day. We were so excited to go because we'd been missing having our usual season passes! Tony even took off work to go.

Buddy rode in his own swing for the first time.

I saw someone else taking pictures next to the "you must be this tall" measuring sticks and thought that it was such a fun idea. Faith was just over 51 inches,

and Christian was just over 39.

They loved riding rides with their cousins and each other.

Buddy with Noah,

Faith with Alaura,

and Lily with Sierra.

Faith told me that morning that she wanted to ride the "Dinosaur Drop & Ladybug Bop" a million times, and she was on it so much that I think she nearly met her goal!

Buddy also drove his own bumper car for the first time. He managed to kind of figure it out by the end!

Unfortunately, the price of the dart game went way up so the kids only got one each. I love how Christian's eyes are closed while throwing and the dart is way below the balloon line :)

Mom & dad bought us pizza and subs for dinner and then we went back to the rides.

For our last rides, we (the four uf us + dad) rode the skyride over to the north end and then got on the ferris wheel. Buddy fell asleep while we were in line and missed the whole thing. We had such a great time--thank you so much mom and dad!!!!!!

Of course Christian woke up as soon as I put him in the car to come home and then was difficult to get back to sleep. Maybe part of that was because Faith put him in her pink High School Musical p.j.s! (Here they're just eating a quick snack of ramen noodles before bed.)
