Sunday Fun

The Utah portion of our family eats dinner together most Sundays. It's a fun time hosting and bonding with the kids and grandkids. We usually play a game or go for a walk after dinner. Today we decided to show the grandkids a park not too far from our home. These are the photos of our afternoon.On the way to the park I noticed our shadows and thought they were so cool. I had everyone stop so I could get a picture. If we had had more time I would have had everyone do lots of poses but since we were on a quest to see the park, that would have to wait for another day.

Do notice that my husband (far left) is a pin head. I've always thought that but now he can see it's true for himself. OK...so I'm the tent in the middle.

I have been looking at ads lately and noticing models doing some crazy poses ..... nobody looks like that in real life. I saw a model on the beach whose back was arched so high that a dog could have walked underneath her. This picture is called a broken model. Look at those arms! And of course you must not smile. The light was right in the park so the girls decided to give me their version of the broken model. Now don't you just want to go out and buy something?

I don't know what this crazy chair is on the playground, but you sit on it and with a little motion you start to spin. It's not a straight spin but wobbly and you get going so fast you can hardly stop. It scared Millie and Nick quit doing it. All the adults but me tried it. I have a little common sense and don't like to throw up.

Oh, I always hate the way I look in pictures but Nick took this one by the stream and if I ever want to be included in the family blog, I have to get in here now and then. I know what you are thinking..."who is that drab chubby Grandma?" I need to visit Mary Kay soon.

Is there anything more intriguing than water where children are concerned? Isabelle finds a culvert but is firmly cautioned by her mother to stay outside of it. Oh it's tempting!!

Emerson decided that the slide was not so bad. Up until recently, he was too afraid to go down.

There is a big old tree in the park that has had the trunk burned out but which still has all it's leaves and now looks like a good place to hide out but Isabelle says "no, there are spiders in there".

Many people think Emerson looks very much like Nick. I don't know how that

works since Emerson looks just like his Daddy Wes, and Nick is a Yarro, but they are

both Italian so maybe that's the connection. They both have black eyes and are cute as

a puppy's knees.

Amelia and Isabelle share the playground equipment

Wayne and Colett discuss politics, religion and kitchen hints....just kidding.

It's fun to be with the family every Sunday.

Now if I could just get them to do "ALL" the cooking and cleaning up afterwards, it would be a pretty perfect day of the week.
