July is Sun and Fun and Adventure

 We started off July with a trip to Lake Powell. Here we are hanging out on the upper deck of our house boat. It was a ton of fun and we are grateful that the Humphreys invited us.

June 2019 - let the fun begin!!

This is Graham's famous people day presentation. He dressed up like my cousin, Roy Halladay and presented a report about him. We even called my aunt Linda to find out more about his childhood. This was a neat project for both him and me.

This is a Luau for Graham’s 3rd grade teacher, Ms Aitken. She is moving to a new school. We will miss her so much at Crescent!!

This is Graham's 3rd grade class.

Carson's end of the school year percussion concert - They are playing a "Diner's Club" piece where Carson is the diner playing his place setting and the waiters are playing miscellaneous kitchen equipment. Very fun!!

This is the Crescent Field Day. Graham and Oliver were in the same group. They seemed to have fun. I was the one in charge of the sponge relay, again. It is my usual spot.

This is Graham's end of the school year football party. They were doing this as a fund raiser. It was really fun to come see their teammates and play on fun things. He came with Camden and hung out with several. He even got to try to dunk his coaches on the Dunk Tank.

That is Graham coming down the left slide.

What a fun day!!

This is the last day of school party at Cranberry Park. I did the work for this party, again. It is a lot of work, but it turned out really well this year. We got a large number of folks to come.

The bounce house was a little bigger and more fun, but really heavy. Thank goodness for Carson and Eli helping me out!!

Here is a view of the Mom's gathered and talking. It was a fun afternoon.

Graham and I went to the planetarium together. The main attraction for us was the IMAX movie Super-dogs 3D. Fun day!!!

The Mars rovers are still there. Fun times!

The boys helped the Vickers out with their backyard - removing extra dirt from their construction. This is their frosty reward. 

Kate's birthday!!! 

She took a ton of friends to Lagoon and later had a party at our house.

This is the front runner train that we took to get to and from Lagoon. The girls had a ton of fun.

I took Graham and the cub scouts to 2 days of day camp. It was really fun to see the fun things they got to do. 

Bow and Arrows

Parachute

Rifle Shooting

Viking fighting

Graham did a couple weeks of swimming lessons in June, also. He has worked hard on swimming, though he wishes that I wouldn't have asked him to do it.

June also was the month of Boondocks for Graham and Jason. Chad and I took them on a Saturday when all the olders were gone. Then, this last week, we bounced back. We stayed 5 hours. They loved it!!

Hole in one!!

 Mini golf

Bumper Boats

Girls camp was at Lake Powell this year. Here are Audrey and her friends at Lake Powell

Here are Kate and her friends at Lake Powell

Hanging out!

Then, Kate was off to Oakcrest!! What a fun summer. She was one of 9 girls that finished 7th grade this year and was able to go.

This was a fun activity!! Graham and friends played in the foam maker and had a blast. One of our neighbors invited the kids over for an hour. They would go down inside and just be under the foam. How fun!
