Summer's Almost Over

We had a busy week this week- we had our usual library trip on Monday and had fun playing and checking out books.  the kids always enjoy a trip to the library and Eileen usually finishes reading her books and all her siblings books before the day is over - I keep telling her she should pick harder books so she doesn't get done so fast, but she keeps picking easy ones. 

Thursday morning, the kids had piano lessons - after lessons, we got a quick lunch at Firehouse Subs and then headed out to Tiny Town for the afternoon.  The kids had a blast looking at all the little houses with their little decorations and they loved the train ride and the playground too.  It was a nice afternoon and it started raining just as it was time to head home, so it worked out well.  When we got home, Evie told Daddy "We went to EVIE TOWN today!!!!"  She was very excited!  

Here we are on the little train ride that goes around the park.  

Friday, we met up with Tina for a trip to the Museum of Nature and Science - the kids had a blast - but their favorite area is the space area - they spent all morning asking to go there.  They loved dressing up as astronauts and learning about planets and the moon.

Friday night I got to go sing!  A friend from choir who plays Jazz Piano and arranged a Stake Jazz concert and asked me to come sing!  We met Tuesday night to have a quick rehearsal and then had a blast Friday night - we sang and had fun.

Saturday we had a friend invite us to their daughters birthday party at the Zoo - so we had a fun afternoon hanging out at the Denver Zoo.  Now my thoughts are turning to back to school - we really only have one more week of summer.

Saturday night, Dan took me to Rodizio's for an Anniversary dinner and we invited some friends - since a place like that works better with a group - and we had a great time - we had fun getting dressed up and going out.  Dwayne and Nicole baby sat for us - so Sunday night we returned the favor - and their kids came and hung out with us for a bit.

We had some friends over for dinner tonight and had fun playing games and getting to know them better.  They have their first child on the way - I think the insanity of our house plus a few more was a bit crazy for them - but we still had fun!
