Friday, we hung out in the morning. After lunch, we went to the dinosaur museum and the rec center. We watched the Mario movie and had dinner, then just hung out the rest of the day.
Saturday, we got up early (for summer) and drove to Heber for the Belcher reunion. It was really hot all day, but it was nice to see people. We got home around 4:30 and relaxed the rest of the day.
Sunday night, I attended a baptism for a convert who is Primary age. Her family has been through a lot, and I'm glad everything went well. It was one of the most spiritual baptisms I've been to.
We had a great Pioneer Day. We started with the Scout breakfast in the park, then went to the parade with the Boyles. After a lazy afternoon, the Boyles came over to help cook and eat a feast. We had corn (Mexican style), watermelon, brats and hot dogs, chips and pico de gallo, squash 2 ways, brownies, banana cake, and fun drinks. After cleanup and talking, we did some fireworks.
The past few days have been more relaxed with a couple games of Pandemic Legacy: Season 2, errands, TV-watching, and some chores. James was in charge of a fossil hike for the Activity age boys, and they had a lot of fun. Today's looking like yard work and redeeming some coupons that the kids got from library activities.
Honestly, it's been one of the best summers ever. I think a lot of it has to do with my kids' ages. Everyone's been sleeping in, too, which is amazing. I can't remember another summer where I consistently slept till 8. It probably helps that we've had a lot of cool nights and have tried not to overschedule ourselves. Yes, I've had a few mini breakdowns, but that's inevitable. Summer is better than winter in every way.
