Weekend of May 30, 2009

Wednesday: We didn't have the kids today but Aaron emailed Aina's and Ani's teachers yesterday to find out if there were any end of the year activities and he found out that Aina's field day was today. Ani's field day had already passed but we didn't know about it so we weren't able to attend hers. But we went to Aina's. We only stayed about 30 minutes and watched Aina play ball in the gym and some kick the ball game in the field. She was happy to see us there and we're glad we found out in time to be able to make it.

Indoor fun

Thursday: We came home and played board games after a fried chicken dinner. Alana sure loves mashed potatoes with gravy! In fact, they all do, which is nice. Thursdays are pretty low key since we don't get them until 5 and we have to take the baby back at 7.

Friday: We took a nature hike around the neighborhood observing leaves and colors and such. The girls ran some races and boy, are they fast. Aaron wants all of them to run track someday. At home, we set up the backyard pool and let them swim. The water was so cold, but it felt good.

Saturday: We went to Pixie Hollow today. The girls flitted around and pretended to be fairies and we had a delicious lunch on the rocks. We got really hot out there so we came home and went for another dip in our cold pool. Before we took them back we made one more stop - to the movie theater to see "Up." What a great movie!
