S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night! (and day, and Friday)

Just wanted to post some "adventures" from our last couple of days. I love a full weekend! Here are some pictures from Aaron's birthday party that we went to. (Aaron is Jessie's husband--Jessie is Jenny's sister in case you don't know). Jenny's parents have a fun big backyard, so that is where we had his party. We set up the bounce house and Jackson and Christian loved it!They also have a sand volleyball court that we love to use during the summer. Every summer it is alwasy one of my favorite things to do! Jessie and Aaron spent the night Friday night and then Saturday morning Jessie and Jenny ran the 10 mile Provo River Trail Run. We went to cheer her on with Jacquelyn and Josh. Jenny did really well and the running environment put a little bug in me for our big run in August. It will be fun!

Chunk loved the after-run treats!

We went up to the canyon for a picnic after the race. John and Emma were on their way to Costco, so they joined us for the feast! Unfortunately, our favorite park up the canyon doesn't let you do fires anymore ( I think that is a picture of a fire?--or maybe there are no scorpions or something).

Then a swim at the Veteran's pool in Provo. I am a little bit against paying to get into a pool, but this one is really fun, especially for the boys. Christian loves to just splash and crawl around in the water. They have a really shallow part that gets deeper and deeper in the kid section and Chunk will crawl deeper and deeper until his face goes underwater then he sits up surprised, smiles at us, and crawls back. Then he will do it all over again and again and again! He is so cute. What is fun about the park is they let you take little kids down the big pipe slide, so Jack and I went down together and Jenny took Christian even. We had a blast!

We ended the weekend at Smart Cookie--we got to meet Jules and Tate, who we previously only knew through the blog world (it was good to see that they were real people :). We kind of thought Jacquelyn and Josh just made them up so they could have a lot of links on their blog--but we will vouch for them...they are real people and they are cool.

(Please visit Jake and Josh's blog in about a month for some pictures of our Smart Cookie party.)
