That evening we went down to the Mini-Chuckwagon races at the Remington Museum with mom, Shauna and her kids. The kids loved seeing the little horses, but they wanted to be down and running all the time. Emma was thoroughly intrigued with the porta-potties and kept telling us that see needed to go to the bathroom. It was past both of their bedtimes, so it was a bit tricky to keep them entertained. Gideon ended up being sick all over Shauna and the ground in front of where we were sitting, so she ended up taking him to our house to clean him (and herself) up. As soon as she was back we left to go home. The kids just weren't going to sit any longer and since we'd got free tickets to attend it didn't make sense to push our limits!
We had an Elders Quorum sponsored softball game/potluck at 1:00 Saturday afternoon. There was actually a better turnout than I thought there would be. It was a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun running around and playing with the other kids. I enjoyed being able to sit and chat with all the other moms! That afternoon (after the kids naps), we headed out to Wally's Beach. We had a picnic dinner and then went down to the beach to play in the sand and water. It was such a nice evening and the kids had a blast playing. Ben was tired and was ready to go home when we were, but Emma wanted to stay! She was not impressed that we were making her leave and she kept trying to take off and head back down to the beach!
Playing in the water!
Ben - taking a break with daddy.
Emma - thoroughly enjoying the sand and water!
On Sunday (the 19th), I went to our ward for Relief Society and Sunday School and then I headed out to Mountain View to go to Sacrament there. Mom has been watching Shauna's kids and for the weekend and since she leads the music, she wasn't able to sit with the kids in the congregation. I got there just as the opening song was being sung! Sarah was up in the choir seats with mom and I sat with the other kids. Sarah decided that it would be great fun to climb on the seats and check out the organ in the middle of the hymn, so when it was time for the Sacrament hymn, I went up and got her to sit with us. She was pretty good the rest of the time. I think mom was glad she had an extra set of hands though!
The hitch was installed in the truck this morning (another 'to-do' checked of Lennard's list!). Dad is away on Vancouver island for a Scout camp thing with Uncle Bruce, so mom came over for dinner. We were going to have barbequed chicken, but we must have only had enough propane to light the grill and get it warm. As soon as Lennard went out to check on the chicken, we discovered that the grill was cold. So, we ended up frying the chicken instead. Not as tasty, but at least it was cooked! The corn on the cob made up for the chicken!
