Summer Happenings

Back in June my friend from Texas came out for a funeral. About 5 families from Buckeye all decided we would go to the McCormick Railroad Park in Scottsdale so the kids could play. It was a lot of fun and of course my boys love the train park.

One morning after Ami got off graveyard shift, she met us at our house and we got to go to Snowflake and spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa. Abbi and Marci came over and all the kids had fun playing outside, helping build the wagon for Jill and Lil, and playing with Smoochie. It is always so nice and cool up there compared with the heat of Gilbert. We planned a picnic at the park one day and we (including adults) played games with the kids. We played frisbee's and freeze tag. Boy am I out of shape. The kids got to go with Grandpa to the brown store. That's always a treat.

My cousin Jodi was preparing to go to Girls Camp and needed to do a service project for that. They were planning on going to a home for orphaned children and play games with them. They were going to teach them to make ice cream in a zip lock bag. Jodi decided she should probably practice and make sure it worked before it failed with the children. So she invited us over to see if it works and boy was it good. Ciminy and her kids were down also so it was fun to play with Riley and Aiden and get to see Cheyanne. Thanks Aunt Jodi (that's what my boys call her) and Aunt Ami. My boys love you.
