Next stop.....the bath tub

Summer Fun

How do you keep cool in St. George?

PLAY WITH ICE!

The boys helped me make our ice blocks with colored water. We let them freeze overnight.

Then we had about two hours worth of fun with them.

Tyler tried building with them, but they were too slippery.

So, Hayden came up with an idea to play hockey with an ice cube for the puck and little bowls to hit them with. That kept them occupied for a while.

Genevieve thought they tasted good.

Another fun summer activity that we found in the Family Fun magazine was to take an empty water bottle - cut off the bottom - cover it with a damp towel - and dip it into some soapy water - then blow!

This is what happens.

It makes the best bubble snakes. Just don't inhale like Tyler did. =) YUCK!

If you have any fun activities for us......let me know! We get awfully bored sometimes!

Sea World

Our last adventure before returning home.......Sea World! What a fun day! Grandma ans Grandpa Cable came with us which made it an extra special day.

I sure love my Hayden's personality!

Genevieve sat like this for a few minutes after the pig in the Pets Rule show set off the TNT and water shot out at us. I had to pull her hands away so she could enjoy the rest of the show.

Grandma, Hayden and Tyler in awe of the famous Shamu.

We only had time to see two shows, but we will be back in three weeks. Yeah!

After Sea World we stopped off at Uncle Dennis and Aunt Jeni's house for dinner. Thanks Dennis! It was so yummy.

Now we are back home with an empty fridge and a hot house. We definitely got used to the cooler California temperatures.

Visiting friends

Adry and Dan were so kind to have us over for dinner while we were in town. It was fun catching up with Adry while all our kids played.

Mickey's Grove Park

Hayden and Tyler got a chance to feed the birds in the Mickey's Grove Zoo. Tyler's bird grabbed his bowl and threw it down so I don't have any photos of Tyler. Hayden learned from Tyler that you have to hold on to the bowl really tight. Hayden got the attention of three birds.

I have a photo of me on this same bridge when I was just a little girl. This bridge is in the Japanese Garden. We saw a duck while we were in there and fed it some teddy grahams. The duck came out of the water and followed us very closely when we were all out of snacks. We took off running and it just ran right behind us. Kinda creepy!
