Magoon: It's What Fun Is!

PE's work did a day at Lagoon for the office. So we were able to take the kids for their first time. Except of P3. We decided to leave him home with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a really fun time, and the kids can't wait to go back again! P2 always calls it Magoon, no matter how many times we correct her.

We hit Rattlesnake Rapids fairly early, before the line was too long. The kids were both a little bit scared, and didn't want to get wet. P1 got pretty soaked, but ended up liking it. I sheltered P2, so she didn't get as wet. The scariest part though, was after the ride was done and they were bringing us up the ramp. That made the kids really nervous.

We went and saw the model trains and the rest of Pioneer Village.

We also did the log flume. P1 said that it was one of his favorite rides, and P2 did not like it as much.

P1 and P2 were very brave and went on Puff the Magic Dragon without mom or dad!  P1 was a good helper because P2 was very scared. P1 was a little scared too. But they did it!

P2 wouldn't let P1 fly higher in the ladybug, so P1 wanted to ride it again by himself. He did, but only made it go up a little bit.

We ate lunch with the company, and they provided the food which was nice. We did one carnival game that was World Cup oriented, and we won a giant snake plush. The kids thought that was fun. We had a really fun day together, and I'm glad we left the baby home. We hope that company does a Lagoon day next year too!

Father's Day and a New Roof

PE is a great dad and we enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with him. P1 drew a picture of him for Father's Day. It looks just like him! Father's Day also happened to be on my birthday this year (and a somewhat big birthday too). So it was hard to decide who got the day off from cooking and doing dishes this year.

 

The next day we got a new roof. I guess that was our Father's Day and birthday present (and Christmas for the next 10 years). The company we hired did a great job (except they started at 6 am!). But they had it done by 1 pm. It is nice to have a sound roof over our heads!

Logan

We ended up taking a day trip up to Logan so we could go to a wedding reception. First stop was to get Aggie Ice Cream! The kids all approved!

 

 

We walked around campus and had P1 take our picture in front our old dorm building. Good old Reeder Hall! This is where we lived when we started dating. Our apartments were across the hall from each other.

Future Aggies!

 

We had dinner at The Indian Oven, one of our favorites in Logan.

Oh Logan, how we love and miss you!

Swimming Lessons

We finally did swimming lessons for P1 and P2 this year. They were both in the Preschool Level 1 class, and they did a great job! This session was 2 weeks long, M-Th for 20 minutes. I was worried about having it everyday, but it worked out just fine. This helped the kids get a lot more comfortable putting their faces in the water.

The both passed Level 1! Hurray!

Hill Aerospace Museum

We visited the Hill Aerospace Museum, and the kids enjoyed looking at all the big airplanes.

 

 

Friends Forever

I was blessed with a great group of friends on my journey through public school. Three of us became friends in elementary school, and two more joined us in junior high. What a blessing these ladies have been to me. We try to get together twice a year, once in the summer and once around Christmas. This year we planned a giant play date. Between the 5 of us, we have 16 (almost 17) children!!! Unfortunately, one of us had sick kids, so we only had 12 kids there. But it was still chaos!

Our cute little girls playing together:

The boys really outnumber the girls! 

(P3 didn't make it in the picture, he was asleep in his carseat)

It was fun to watch all our kids play together!
