Ward Party

The day before Easter we had a ward party at a little farm. Sadly, this was our last ward party with this ward and all our friends because they reorganized the boundaries and we were placed in a new ward. Anyway, it was lots of fun. Anthony was at Lake Powell but I took the kiddos and had a great time. They had an Easter egg hunt, a train ride, horse rides, and Jimmy John's sandwiches. Here are a few pics from the event.

Day trip to Zion's

This week is National Park Week. Entrance to Zion's is free for a week so we decided to head out to our local National Park and enjoy a Saturday of great weather and beautiful scenery. We have lived here almost 4 years and had not yet visited Zion so it was a long overdue trip. We packed a lunch and spent about 5 hours in the park on two short hikes with the kids. They loved riding the shuttle buses even though they were extremely packed! They also loved seeing the waterfalls. I'm not sure they understood what we meant when we said we were going hiking because there was a little (maybe a lot) of whining about how hot it was and how tired they were, but they stuck it out.

So hard to get them both to look and smile at the same time!

Lower Emerald Pools. Anthony carried Kate most of the time and she had that straw in her mouth the entire time. Her diaper was soaked. At least she didn't dehydrate. She was sucking away all day.

Kids' Workshop

Home Depot does a Kid Workshop once a month and my boys love to go. Each time they do a different craft and they provide all the tools, nails, glue, and the kit they will be building that day. The best part is that it is FREE. This craft was racecars and once they were complete, they had a large track set up for the kids to race their new cars. It was so much fun. The only problem is that these crafts are starting to clutter my house but they boys always find some use for their treasures.
