We love going home to visit Utah, but we don't love the 21 hour drive. Along the way we saw many of these buildings. I think they look so cool, so I took a few pictures. The kids, luckily fall asleep for part of the drive and of course, I have to take pictures.
My Mother in law has the prettiest flowers outside her house and Payton was admiring them, smelling them, touching them, and picking them.

BOOT CAMP
My Mom loves to do Boot Camp for the grandkids every summer. She always has a theme day and activities planned accordingly. This year she did American day and Hawaiian day.
American Day
For American day, we went to the dump to learn about keeping the areas around us clean and how we can help do our part. We then went over to the firestation to learn about firesafety. We went to the cemetary and listened to a veteran tell us about our american heros and how we can be a hero too. We then went to the park for a picnic lunch, a pinata, and a game of all American baseball. After lunch we prepared for our festive parade. We finished off the day with an all American dinner of Hot Dogs and then the kids made homemade ice cream. These are pictures from our American Day activities...

Hawaiian Day
Hawaiian day was filled with learning how to hoola dance, maori dancing, limbo, and hoola hooping contest. Carson can really shake his hips. For lunch my mom made spaghetti and they had to draw a number that coordinated with a certain kitchen tool with which they had to eat with. There were things like...spatula, mellon baller, ice cream scoop, lattel, pie spatula, whisk, measuring cup. The kids loved it. Here are some of the highlights of Hawaiian Day.
