The Carousel

Nana and the Boys at the Carousel. Afterwards we went for a fun dinner at the Macaroni Grill.

The end of a great day!!

For dinner we went to our friends house and had dinner with two other wonderful families. Oh so much fun in one short day!

A great afternoon

Then we spent an awesome afternoon with the Crimson family!

The start of a great day!

We got an awesome package from my sweet cousin and opened it this morning to find a bunch of water guns, beach balls, bubble wands, water balloons, sidewalk chalk and picnic supplies. Awesome!!! Within minutes everything was opened and being used! WATERFIGHT! What a great way to start the day!

Hershey Park

This is the third year I was able to go with my oldest on his choir trip to Hershey Park. Each year he has gone on more difficult rollercoaster rides. This year his Middle School earned first place in every category they competed in. He represented the Choir to go out and pick up the trophy. We had a great group of seven boys who I managed to peer pressure into the really fun rides.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

 

For Family Home Evening tonight (after a spirtual thought/Home Teaching/conference address with Cinnamon Crimson) we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. The boys loved our movie night. Afterwards, I pulled out Richard Halliburton's book from the 1930's called "The Book of Marvels" which is about World exploring and seeing exotic sites. The book has similar maps to the movie and talks about archealogical sites all over the World with pictures from the 1930's. They liked the picture of the Mayan Temples which the oldest three have seen in person. When I came to the part about the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, I talked to the boys about our honeymoon trip to see the site. We tied it back to Indiana Jones trying to find the Ark of the Covenant and talked about where it might be today. It was a fun night. Most importantly, Mr. Music was able to see the boulder scene (which was the only part of the movie he wanted to see.)
