{yesterday}

was busy!!


Ken Doll had Frontier Days out at the fairgrounds. They dress us like mountain men/Indians/cowboys/outlaws/pioneers/ or some type of 'frontier' person and pan for gold, go to jail, go to school and learn all about that time period. It was really cool. They even had a hide/skin thing of some type of animal the kids had to take a rock to and try to get some of the meat off. Gross. That wild game smell is so funky. They also had a station where they could churn butter and grind wheat. I loved all the hands on stuff they were able to do.

For all by Bear River City friends....do you remember this song?

Now we all join hands and we circle the ring.
Now stop where you are give your partner a swing.
Now swing that girl behind you.
And swing your own. (something something)
Now alama-left with the corner girl.
And dosey-doe your own.
Now we all pomade with the sweet corner maid.
Singing Oh Johnny Oh Johnny Oh!!!

The classes totally learned that dance!! I was so excited. Here Kenna is Johnny Oh dancing.

Daylin and Kenna

Then it was time for Brady's first baseball game. He was so stinkin excited. He is on the Cubs and is Number 1! Nothing can be better than being Number 1 when you are 6 (almost 7). He thinks he is pretty cool. He looks absolutely adorable in his uniform.

I/we were a little worried that Brady was going to be like THAT kid from Sandlot that runs the ball instead of throwing it. He is just funny like that sometimes. But he did really good. He caught a grounder and threw it to the pitcher. It was awesome. He was pumped.

Here is little man up to bat. He didn't make contact this game...but has in practice, so I am sure it is coming. Some of those little guys have quite the swing. It was crazy.

And here is Miss Riss being a 'butterfly'. She would have Chris hold her up and she would flap her wings. She was being hilarious. She is so fun.

At the same park, there is a 'rope swing'...it is like a zip line and it is a blast. Kenna stripped off her Indian costume and spent a little while on the swing. They love this park...it is one of our favorites here in town.

She is a nut.

So that was my insane yesterday. Today is mellow. The kids actually have NO after school activities! I am not kidding when I say that is the first time in at least 2 months. Ahh. What are we going to do with our night?!? I am sure we will figure out something.
