BYU game
Straw Maze
For FHE a couple weeks ago we decided to go the a straw maze. We did a corn maze last year and it was really fun but this straw maze was closer to us so we decided to try it out. The maze was actually pretty hard and we ended up having to get help at one point. The kids favorite part though were some big tubes set up as slides on top of a bunch of hay bales, as well as an area they could jump off a ledge into a pull of hay. I was worried they would break some bones but they loved it.
McKinley’s Birthday
Spud Day
Flying kites
We didn’t do anything too fancy for Labor Day, but we did go the park, have a picnic, and tried to fly kites. The kids have wanted to all summer and every time I remember, it ends up not being windy enough (which is pretty rare around here). It was pretty windy on Labor Day so we got the kites up for a bit, but as usual, the wind died down pretty quickly after we started.
Chukars game
We wanted to make it to a Chukars baseball game this summer and I guess technically it was still summer, though late summer. We got free tickets so it ended up working out perfectly. The kids enjoyed it for a while but got bored eventually, so we left before the finish, which was fine since they had school the next morning.
First days of school
Ward campout
Our ward held a campout the end of August, at one of the girls camps around here. We decided just to go up for the night, have dinner and some fun, but not stay the night. I would like to try camping at some point but it’s a little hard still with William.
Hail storm
End of August we had a really big storm move through, dropping a bunch of rain really fast and a bunch of hail. Lucas was at football practice, so Kryssi raced to go pick him up as it started to rain, then got caught driving in the hail storm.
It ended up ruining a lot of our garden, though luckily most was already passed growing. We also had picked the plums off our tree just the night before, so we didn’t lose a ton of those, which was a blessing.
