Christine & Scott's Visit

Christine came to visit for 7 days before I hosted the Kerry Pettingill reunion, and Scott also came 4 days early. It was so much fun having them here!!

Water balloon fights and popsicles

Even I joined the water fight in my pajamas.

We visited and picnicked at the peaceful Japanese gardens in Manito Park

Swimming pool fun

We celebrated the 4th of July by watching the Nine Mile Falls parade and had a potluck dinner with Stephanie's family and fireworks at the office parking lot that night.

I was proud Cora knew to salute the flag and was teaching the younger kids to do the same

Look at these cute patriots!

We all went to church together and I loved how the cousins helped each other out

Tie dyed t-shirts and played games

Everyone loved played on the saucer swing! Even Scott gave Christine a fun joy ride.....that is until on the way back down from pushing her, the cable snapped and Christine went straight into the ground. She didn't move for a good 5 minutes and I rushed down there to try to help her up, but the wind got knocked out of her and she bruised some ribs. She had to lay low for a couple days after that, icing her side. I felt so bad but so grateful it wasn't serious!

But look at that face! She had fun until the cable snapped. So sorry, Christine!

Hiking Waikiki Springs

We hiked around Waikiki Springs with two other families in our ward. It wasn't too hot and after our hike the boys jumped into the spring. I'm grateful for our beautiful area! I wouldn't hike this particular one again, it had a switchback trail that was about a mile long before you even got to the actual trail. That wore me out fast, haha. 

 

Father's Day

For Father's Day this year the kids helped make a book titled If You Give A Dad A Pop that came with little gifts on each page and candid photos through the years. We sure love Daddy, he's definitely the favorite around here!
