Weekend Fun!

I have been trying harder to get out and do fun activities with the kids during the weekends. It seems like a lot of times I focus my attention on trying to clean up after a crazy week or spend time trying to catch up on work so I have a new goal to spend more fun family time with the kids even if daddy is at work. So a few weekends ago it was the dinosaur museum which the kids loved. Gavin liked to run around and roar like a dinosaur, Eris loved to make origami paper cranes while Shayla loved to color. They all enjoyed looking at the dinosaur bones and footprint fossils but the most fun was digging in the sandbox outside (the only part that was free!)
Another weekend we went to the Home Depot activity where the kids got free face painting, cotton candy and snowcones. They also received their very own Home Depot aprons and were able to build little wooden helicopters. Dad was even able to come help for a few minutes.
The next day we went to the Heritage Days Parade and to the park afterward to see old pioneer wagons, hear stories, listen to music... The kids helped make a dish towel with a loom and spun wool on a spinning wheel.

Last weekend we went to Mesquite for the Party 4 Life fun where the kids saw monkeys, camels, zebras..., a bounce house, live music and entertainment and free BBQ given by the Mesquite Fire Dpt. After that we were able to go to Vegas to support a cousin getting baptized and had fun with several aunts, uncles, cousins and great-grandma and grandpa. Unfortunately we forgot the camera for those memories but we all had a great time!
