Labor Day Week

We started off the week with FHE at the Cabana Shack getting Snow Cones.  And ended it by going up to Pine Valley and relaxing in the cool air since it's still over 100 degrees every day here even though it's SEPTEMBER!  It's ridiculous.
Sunday was Elaine's 70th birthday. So we ate dinner together over at Brian's.  Jared was in town.  He's been in California, drawing for Disney's latest animated feature.  It's the part in the new Mary Poppins.  John, Kristal and their family all came up from Vegas.  They are enjoying living there now.  Ashley was even down from BYU so it was a good turn out.  
Then we went up to Pine Valley to have a sleep over, enjoy the cooler weather, play some cards and of course, play corn hole.  Kyle and Evan went undefeated against everyone.  Ben said that he got all 4 bags in, in a row, but no one saw him.  So, did it really happen?
 A couple weeks ago the men helped Kyle take off the end of the porch and make stairs down to the patio.  It is really convenient.  It also frees up a lot of space on the porch for bodies to sleep apparently.  Emily slept on the swing.   Originally they were all going to sleep on the patio under the stars but it started to rain before they got ready to sleep out.  So they slept on the porch instead. 

 
That's me behind them making mountain man breakfast in the dutch oven.  It was yummy!
The kids also had a blast jumping off of the porch onto the mattress's.  Ben thought he could fly!



Before we left Emily's creative juices were flowing and her inner Jan came out.  She decided she wanted to put together a play so she got the kids together and created a murder mystery.  It was awesome to watch it unfold.  It was just like Jan at her age gathering the neighborhood kids together to put on a play.  Joel even said, "Jan's out there telling Brad and Andy (Evan and David) what to do."  It was so funny.  George and Ben didn't get to involved so Emily just gave them small parts.  Ben was the curtain.  He did a great job.  I was so proud of him.  He didn't forget any of his lines.   Here it is.  Sit back.  Relax.  And, Enjoy the show.


We had a great weekend.  Thanks everyone for making some awesome memories!
