Family Weekend

We had a very nice family weekend! 

Friday night we went to the Hennum's and the kids enjoyed icecream cones together! You can really tell I need a new small camera or phone with a better camera, as the quality on these isn't the best. Regardless, I love the smiles (and the seriousness of eating icecream)!

Saturday we started the day off with a 25 mile bike ride. Luke checked the weather and we were supposed to be good for a couple of hours.....but it rained for most of our ride. Thankfully it wasn't TOO cold during the ride. The kids had had enough of the ride and decided they wanted to go to the zoo after we got home.....so we went to the zoo! We hadn't been there in a long time and it was especially fun for Nora--she laughed at all the animals and they both got really excited to see the animals!

After the zoo we tried to stop for dinner. Nora fell asleep on the way, so I stayed in the car with her while she napped while Bishop and Luke went in to order/eat. I woke Nora up after about a 1/2 hour or so.....and that was the end of our fun times for the afternoon. She was NOT happy and both kids were all wound up in the restuarant. We ate and left, very abruptly.

Saturday night the Moore's stopped by--the boys especially had a good time together. Nora was having a tough time going to bed so we sent Bishop and Danny up to check on her after we heard them commenting on how "Nora's STILL crying". We knew they were up to something as we could hear them running quite a bit......and none of us were too surprised to find Nora buried under all of their books.

 

The boys got warm running around (and watching movies) and they insisted on taking their shirts off.......they are 2 peas in a pod!

Show us your muscles!

Sunday was church/Sunday School and then a trip to the YMCA to go swimming. Bishop has wanted to go swimming for awhile now, so we went right after church and it was great because there weren't many people there. We swam for about a 1/2 hour or so until we were asked to get out.....someone had pooped in the pool. I'm glad we were able to swim for at least a 1/2 hour before leaving. 

After naps we walked/biked/ran down to the bandshell--stopped to climb a tree (he did NOT want me to take his picture--every time I did he jumped out of the tree) and ended up playing at the park!
