We had a fun, relaxing time in Richfield. Lots of food, reading, puzzles and games. We also took the 4 wheelers out one day and got a tour of the firestation. Kirsten, Rebecca and I drove to Utah county for Michelle's graduation. I am so proud of her!
The last leg of our trip was spent at Zion National Park. It is one of my favorite places. Unfortunately Kaleb & I both got the stomach flu so we didn't get to enjoy it too much. I'm glad we made it home safely, and SO glad Blake met us there.
A couple weeks ago it was spirit week at Emily and Kaleb's school. There was crazy hat day; crazy sock day; tie day; and more. Emily especially really got into it and even made her own crazy hat out of duct tape. Kaleb not so much (his "crazy" socks crack me up). It was a fub, crazy week!
We have been busy lately with lots if good things. Blake has been going camping with the young men a lot. While he was gone one weekend the kids and I participated in Mormon helping hands. We went to an elementary school in Carlsbad. We pulled weeds, and helped with the landscaping. We have also been trying some new recipes. We found a tomato soup recipe with noodles that we love! Emily borrowed a 3D puzzle from her teacher that we all helped put together. Blake had all of us sorting the pieces by their shapes. It was fun to see it develop. Also recently Blake and Kaleb had fun playing with Kaleb's nerf guns. They had a competition with targets. Kaleb is pretty good, and could beat me and the girls, but was no match for Blake. I guess Blake's had a little more practice.
If you want these to make more sense you might want to start with the post "Oh What a Trip!". If I would think ahead I would post things backwards but I don't.
These are all pictures from the day we drove to Cocoa Beach. We found a county park which was great. The water was beautiful, and there was a really cool nature trail, and yes that Golden Orb spider is as big as your palm! It was a great day.
