For a summer morning we got a quick start for the day. Michelle woke the boys up just after 8 o'clock. We took time for our morning devotional, got dressed, finish our ADL's and had a nice hot breakfast. With the kids still sleepy it was a struggle to elicit cooperation but we managed and we were ready for the day. The boys played while Michelle and I put together a quick picnic lunch to take on the road.
9:12 - We pull out of the driveway for the kids craft at the home depot.
The kids made a lawnmower pencil holder. Each boy had the chance to glue and nail their own project. And then they painted them to make them beautiful. Within reason, each boy stay true to his own color.
10:09 - Headed out from The Home Depot to the library for the summer reading kick off party.
We get to the library and head to the underground parking. The boys begin screaming! Hearing the echo is probably the best part of going to the library. After a quick potty break we head up to the kick off.
The kick off lacked some luster and pizzazz. We put our names on a paper, got a tracking sheet for each kid and a Laffy Taffy. Next, we went downstairs to get a few books to get our summer reading program started with.
10:59 - We left the library for the park and lunch time.
We decided to go to the Scera Park in Orem. We ate or lunch and then played on the playground. However, the swing set won the popularity award for our family today! At one point we had every swing claimed by someone in the family.
It was quite the bonanza, going from booth to booth trying all the food samples and asking questions. The boys started getting tired of all the food samples, most of which were not sweet.
1:51 - We leave the store for home.
We grabbed a couple gallons of milk before heading to the suburban. Quinten and Gidean were asleep before we got home; Gidean was asleep before we got to the first stop light.
We finally got home, the family was exhausted. The two boys who were asleep were successfully transferred to their beds for an afternoon nap. The other boys were quietly playing. But there's no nap for me...I've got to many things left on my plate for today! But it's been a great family outing.
