Black and White Days

Black and White Days

The big event this week was going all the way to Utah for Black and White Days that happens in Chris' grandpa's home town. I know we have missed a few when we lived to far, but this time we planned to drive and then camp out afterward. The weather ruined it and we ended up driving all the way home the day of, but we got their early enough to spend some good time with family. The girls had a lot of fun playing with the dogs and cousins, and was so excited about the parade, and barely ate any dinner because there were so many snacks and candy before hand. Chris's cousin has provided the meat for the past couple years because he has his own food truck with delicious food! In the past, we had a lot of cooking and setting up before the parade, but recently there is more time to play and chat. Chris went shooting with his brother, and the kids played pirates in a trailer that was in the back yard. Adrian was nonstop walking around and exploring after the 5 hour drive and tired himself out for the drive home. 

The Week

School is winding down so there has been a lot going on for the girls and less homework sent home so I collected the summer books they can start using it soon. They still have one more week and then I will have to find things for us to do every day! Shay has a zoo trip tomorrow, she did an animal report as homework and was so excited to share it as a powerpoint with her class. Adrian brings his blanket when he gets out of bed and sometimes plays peek-a-boo with it, or just runs into walls and the couch. It hasn't hurt him yet and is just so cute and funny. He didn't love napping in the car as much as I thought he would but was able to nap when we had our trip. He was also a fun entertainment at the Baby Shower we went to for our friends Sunday night. It was a fun get together and we all went as a family which made the party even better.
