Countdown to School: Day 5

We spent part of our Friday at my friend Heather's house is Mapleton. She has a 5-year-old little girl and 3-year-old little boy, perfect for my kids. They have a great playroom where the kids were pretty much free to do what they wanted (aka throw balls!) and a backyard with a swingset, a sandbox, and a trampoline. The boys were in heaven. So was Aubrey, as long as I was outside with her. We made homemade pizzas for lunch and Heather and I caught up a bit.

We found Andelin and Roman outside with their "pets". They became instant friends, Roman sort of had his first little crush.


Aubrey braved the trampoline for a little bit, but felt a bit safer on the grass.
Later in the afternoon, Josette and I took the kids to the Farmer's Market at Thanksgiving Point. The market had some fruit and vegetable stands, but it still also offered some homemade items, including fresh lemonade, which the boys decided to get with the dollar I gave them. Probably a good bet, since the produce was a bit overpriced for a farmer's market. At the end of the market we found this water contraption. Each lever pulled caused water to come out of a pipe or spout. The kids had a blast, and even Aubrey joined in for a little bit.


I love this picture. Aubrey is looking up at Josette. She adores her Nana Lafranca.




See how wet they got?! When we got to the car, they undressed down to their underwear to get out of their wet clothes. We drove home, grabbed some dry clothes, and headed to the BYU Creamery. Josette told us about their kids' meal: a cheeseburger, fries, a drink, and a scoop of ice cream for $3.50! Aubrey and I shared a cheeseburger meal and tried raspberry cream cheese ice cream. It was so freaking delicious!

Yet another awesome day. I love it! I want to go with Nana Lafranca for a kids meal. She is so much fun. I loved visiting with her at Snowbird. Super cute pictures once again. I think you are raising the happiest kids on the planet.

SO that water contraption looked like fun! I would've joined in too! And I would've joined in for your meal at the creamery. So many things adding up that I need to do next time we come!

And does your friend have her trampoline in the ground??
