Stake Fair

Back to school festival

While Dad and Rockwell napped, from their early morning together:) Bee and the other kiddos went down the street to check out a free back to school festival put on by the Divine Church. The kids were in heaven with free cotton candy (which Ellory didn't end up liking), popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs, hamburgers, bounce house and even an ice cream truck where they were able to choose whatever ice cream bar they wanted. They also each received a backpack with supplies to get them prepared for school. We thought it was so much fun, that after running to the grocery store we woke up Dad to go back with them again. :)

We love fun, free festivals!

Hershey's Chocolate World

Quick stop at Hershey's Chocolate World where kids had so much fun creating their own candy bar!

Ellory the builder

Ellory had a fun time building her new wooden Home Depot firetruck kit at Dad's new workshop.

cutest little builder!

12th anniversary

Hooray for 12 Happy Year of Marriage! We spent the morning at Wellesley Pool, then Joshua was surprised with 12 balloons bearing some special treats (fancy toilet paper, work out shirts, beach towel, powerade and root beer).

3 monkeys

Picnic parties under the kitchen table are always fun for these three!

Swim suit bath time!

Sunday morning riding around Brusters vacant parking lot and stopping to check out the drain.

Snack time together

Sharing a fancy new colored pencil set from Lizzie.

Making cookies with two little helpers can lead to some extra messes, especially when Rockwell decides to see what happens when he dumps a cup of flour on Ellory's head. She took it surprisingly well! :)

Saturday fun!

We had another family fun Saturday! Complete with a trip to the local Farmer's Market, where Ellory talked her way down to paying 75 cents for a pink sprinkled sugar cookie, drawing time with Ellory not too excited about sharing her seat with Rockwell, Dad grilling up some yummy lunch, and discovering special deliveries of watermelon cupcakes from Liz and Thomas Upton.
