The Harry potter birthday party

Image At the end of the party the kids had a spell book and they practiced some of Harry's famous spells on Ron, Hermine and Harry. We took everyone's photo so they would have a picture to go home with their diploma from their term at Hogwart's.

The Lake Powell trip ... that didn't go well

Oh our one trip to Lake Powell this year! We thought we'd get an early start on it. Remember we are motorhomeless now so we took the truck and boat and headed down. Something about Fillmore, it's like our Bermuda triangle.. the truck broke down. A nice Highway patrol guy kept trying to help us but it was a hose. He even called ahead into Fillmore to his buddy at the the Ford dealership, what a nice guy! Anyway, luckily Scott is a wizarding mechanic and jimmirigged it so we made it down to Lake Powell. Yeah hooo..
But the next day when we launch the boat and the kids and I are waiting for Scott to come down the ramp, Maddie comments on the exhaust smell. So I open up the back and smoke is pouring out and there is water in the boat! Ryder is crying wanting to know if we are going to drown, we are trying to call Scott on the cell phone and then the boat stops running! Just stalls out and here we are out in the water. A nice ski boat filled with little team hottie pull us in, thank goodness. We load it back up and there was the boating experience. Not to mention the truck breaking down I think two more times it was actually a fun trip. We made it home alive so that's a good deal. :)Image

My cheap umbrella in Lake Como

Yes, i know we went to Italy in June and I am just putting pictures on. I had to laugh when I saw this one cause it completely depicts the trip to Lake Como. It was the rainy season and we didn't know, so we didn't bring umbrellas. So I bought some cheap umbrella from a street guy and within 24 hours it looked like this! Notice the spokes sticking out? Yeah cheaper is not better. Image

Draper Days Parade

Ryder's karate group, Bobby Lawrence in Draper was in the Draper Days parade. It keeps growing, there were 100 entries this year. BL was #97 so it took a while before we saw Ryder. The kids were throwing candy and looking pretty tired by the time they made it to us. Cameron went with us and we all parked it in front of Christine's house. Thanks Chris for the sprinklers and the spot and to Shawn and Cindee for the chairs and coverImage
