On Monday we went to Owlz game. Jadey and Max both got foul (I almost spelled that fowl) balls and due to a promise made pre and mid game we are now going to be enjoying shaved ice and night out to dinner...nice job Reed :) Also, Grandma Price took them swimming at the pool.
On Tuesday we hit the $1 movie Hannah Montana movie. Not too bad. I actually like the song The Climb and nearly got up to dance during "Bop it, Pop it, Polka Dot it" (and that is my own wording to the song...I guess I should look it up to see what it's really called.)
On Wednesday we hit fat cats for the family deal of 75 min of bowling and some Costa Vida. I did not win. Hadley got a strike...with bumpers and a ball going maybe 1 mile an hour. Actually I think we all got strikes and Reed I both embarrassed each other with double gutter balls at some point.
Thursday we went to Monsters vs Aliens (it was okay) and took Reed up on his dinner he owed us from Monday. We chose Wallabys.
Friday/Saturday was another fun swim day with Grandma and Grandpa Price. Then we went camping. Well it was in a motor home, but we had an open fire that we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows on, and we pulled out the Coleman stove outside for pancakes, sausages and eggs for breakfast. We did lots of 4 wheeling and had a great time.
Monday: We went miniature golfing outside and tried shaved ice at a different joint then our usual. The ice was really soft, but it wasn't as tasty as our favorite place.
Tuesday: We rented a movie and watched it on the big screen downstairs.
Wednesday: Reed had a meeting and we just chilled, but the kids were pretty disappointed.
Thursday/Friday we went camping again. We had a grand time roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. My dad told us about these Sand Cranes that were nesting in the field next to his. He tried to hike out and see if he could scare them up, but just ended up scratching himself up on the thistle. A short time later the two Sand Cranes flew in together. Talk about majestic. They have sort of duck style head but their wings were huge and they flew so gracefully. It was so cool to see. We took a ride on the four wheelers at dusk and Reed's group scared a doe and fawn that raced them on the other side of a fence because they were trapped in by some sprinklers (hard to describe, but it was fun to watch). The next morning my parents and Mark and Kattie (it was her birthday) and Will, and Bryan and Stan and Andrea and their crew went to a little town parade and rodeo. Jadey and Max tried to ride Stear and Emily did Mutton Bustin'. Now that we have tried it, we will stick to things we are familiar with :). I was not excited about the possibility of them getting injured. But they had so much fun. Then home for dinner with our great friends and then out for a neighborhood gathering of water balloon launching and fireworks...and someone had just gotten back from Wyoming, which meant a great show. Fun times.
I will edit this as more happens.
We are such fun parents.
The best.
And this is proof.
Two weeks of the year we are really great.
