Monday, I walked the kids down to some of the wild blackberry bushes that grow everywhere and we picked blackberries - most of us ended up with scratches on our hands and legs from the thorns, but we came home with a LOT of yummy black berries. We ate a bunch of them and turned the rest into a blackberry crumble (which was really yummy!!)
In the evening, James used his coupon for a family outing to plan an outing to Pietro's Pizza. We went and had pizza and then played laser tag together. The kids all had a lot of fun! Dan trounced us in laser tag.
The week was pretty normal - summer school for the kids, libraries and fun. Friday, I took the kids down to George Rogers Park in the afternoon to swim and play. They had a lot of fun, but it was overcast, so not as hot as we had expected, so after a little while, the kids were cold, so we left the water and went up to the play ground for a bit. We had fun though!
Saturday, we drove down to Dave's house and then went with him to a nearby lake. It was crazy crowded and rather cold though, so after staying and eating lunch and swimming for an hour or so, we headed over to High Rock. The kids loved it. They loved jumping off the cliffs (except Eileen who wouldn't, and David who wasn't allowed.) Eileen found a crawfish and they all loved climbing all over the rocks in the river. Plus it wasn't nearly as crowded most of the time we were there. After, we went back to Dave's house for dinner before heading home to get sleepy kiddos to bed!
Today was wonderful, but a bit crazy. We had church, and youth council and bishopric meetings and such. Then in the evening, we met up with a bunch of people from the ward at a nearby playground to let the kids play and have fun together. It was a nice evening!
