Monday of Grammie's Week

Don't worry - pictures will come!!!


Grammie's week started out with a bang first thing Monday morning. Jackie started us out with one fun game and one fun craft. All the kids were so excited to cut a penny from flour and then from sand. Also she had little plastic beads for the grandkids to make designs with and then we ironed them together to make a picture. Elise made a very impressive fish.

After the crew got ready for the day we journeyed to Boondocks to continue the fun. At Boondocks the kids enjoyed water bumper boats, go-karts, mini-golf, kiddie cove, arcade games, and a yummy lunch of pizza and bread sticks. Alex was especially excited that he was tall enough to ride the big go karts all by himself. A few times he rode them by himself and a few times he took smaller kids with him. The other boys, including Johnathan, Kenneth, Nathan and Benjamin enjoyed riding the smaller go karts by themselves also.

When we came home from our fun time at Boondocks Alex, Johnathan, Kenneth, Nathan and Joy were able to go boating on Utah Lake for a little bit while all the little kids plus Ben went swimming in Grandaddy and Grammie's pool. Actually, mostly they played in the warmer hot tub but there was some swimming in the bigger pool.

Coming in from the pool and the lake there were fractured tacos to enjoy. Following a yummy dinner we gathered for Family Home Evening. Grandaddy and Grammie were in charge and told all the grandkids stories about their lives when they were growing up. Grammie talked about having one older brother and one older sister, also two younger brothers and one younger sister. She told them how she grew up next to the beach and loved the water and the green of California. Grammie told the children a little about her mama, Grandma Noble and how wonderful a singer Grandaddy Noble was. Grandaddy then talked about how he used to swim and jump on the trampoline when he was little just like his grandkids. It was also mentioned that Grammie and Grandaddy grew up about five miles from each other.

After the Family Home Evening Grammie and Grandaddy gave all the grandchildren books of their very own. The next few minutes were spent reading our books.

Ice cream was the final treat of the night before everyone went to bed. We can't wait for tomorrow.
