During the first week of June, my good friend Jen came to visit me. It was fun to see her and her cute kids...see you in Georgia next time Jen!
June was COLD! I'm sure we set all kinds of records here for rain and low temps. We had one brief day of moderate warmth and the kids eagerly set up the slip-and-slide and played...for about 10 mins, then realizing it was too cold, they all jumped in the kiddy pool filled with warm water (you can see there was a wait to get in...very popular spot)!
My kids must be sleep deprived...first here's Clara, asleep on the SHOWER FLOOR...how comfy! She slept there for 30 mins until I could move her onto my bed...she never takes naps but when she does...
Next we have Benjamin. Mid-lunch he just couldn't take it anymore...I had a hard time recording the video, I was laughing so hard! Poor boy, I did move him into bed right after.
He finally found a comfortable spot to rest his head:
Clara started horse riding lessons and loves it! Her horse's name is "Hella" which means "frost." On her way home after the first lesson she told me, "Hella's my best friend!"
I took Clara and Benjamin to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. They loved it. We were looking at this big dinosaur skeleton and I was talking to Clara about how big it was, how big its tail was, and its mouth and she replies very matter-of-fact like, "Yep, it could kill us." It's a good thing it's dead.
I think Clara was hoping this would really work to eat up Benjamin...she hasn't had the nicest of feelings for him lately. Some major sibling rivalry going on between them.
Part of the museum had a fossil dig area...a giant sandbox where you use paint brushes to uncover fossils. Benjamin was in HEAVEN!
For Father's Day the kids and I drove up to Idaho Falls to visit Scott where's he's been overseeing some apartment renovations for the last four weeks. It was so good to be all together again, but the apartments are old (and not that clean) and of course the vacant one he was staying in was unfurnished. It really made me appreciate my own home! Anyway, for Father's Day the girls had choreographed an entire synchronized show with their glitter balls complete with an illustrated program. It was adorable! Here they are posing, after two encores:
By the end of June we finally saw summer and out came the slip-and-slide again!
