Field trip

Fifth graders have the chance to go on a field trip to the Utah Symphony. My fifth grader was going, and I made room in the schedule to go! Completely enjoyable! Bus ride, symphony, bus ride back to the school then lunch in the classroom. Enjoyable! Thankful I could go! (Even more surprising, we saw a few other fifth grade friends there too! Amazing considering there were hundreds of school students filling Abravanel Hall).

Blogging out 2013 from my phone

I always have my phone on me, so I always take pictures on it. I am getting slower at blogging, so maybe 2014 can be full of more pictures documenting the happy moments of 2014!

Super Quick & Super Big & Super Cool post

Highlights from post Memorial Day to today-more to come.....I hope......

 

Grandpa Jack joined me at Antelope Island for a field trip for Ashley's class. Ashley's fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Thayne retired at the end of this school year, and this was one last going away party for her. I supplied the grill to cook the hot dogs. Ashley INSISTED we do it! It was a fun trip out there. Windy! Seagulls! But it was good!

 Only a 100+ hot dogs were consumed by the two 4th grade classes and families/chaperone's that were there! Good thing we had the grill!

Sophie & B had a good time too.  

 

Charlie graduated Kindergarten! We are excited for the new adventures and challenges first grade will hold!! Good Luck Charlie~ 

 

Free Fish Day.....well, Free (trying to go Fishing) Day.

The A family invited us to join them at the Bountiful Pond to try fishing. NOTHING caught, but cute pictures!

Summer begins with summer school lunch at Washington Elementary and a stop at the playground!

Then Ragnar-few photo highlights!

Jimmy's Great Aunt Mary passed away on June 25th. We love Aunt Mary so much and miss her! We each have special memories with her, and miss her dearly! Here is a really good picture of Jimmy and the kids at the cemetery.

Made it to Eaglewood for fireworks. It gets easier to do things as the kids get older.....like walking to fireworks with no stroller, diaper bag, etc.

Backyard fun.

and TODAY a trip to City Creek.

Field Trip: RC Willey Hot Dogs & Aerospace Museum

When the kids didn't have school one day (end of term or presidents day or something), we set out on an adventure. Field trip was free hot dogs at RC Willey, then off to the Hill Aerospace Museum. Some friends joined us on the adventure, so it was a free, fun afternoon. 

 Yes-we ate on chairs. There was not any room at the tables. Two crazy moms with 7 kids tucked off to the side by a stack of chairs eating hot dogs and spilling drinks. Guess this free hot dog thing is a big deal at RC Willey! LOL!

 Airplane museum time!

 I was not going to pay $2 or whatever for the photo booth photo's. So I held the camera up and shot these pix of the kids in the booth. I got the pix I wanted, and still had my $2.

Cold day, but still fun! Thanks Jann & kids.
