Making the most of Rainy Days...Anderson Creek Family Fun Day
We had a great time at Family Fun Day this year! We got to go to school with A and A and have dinner and a big party! We had a super fun time inspite of the rain that nearly drowned us. We love the rain at our house and inspite of the fact that we didn't get to bounce on one bounce house or slide on one super slide we had more fun than anyone there! We just know it!
We got cotton candy...
and popcorn...
and snowcones...
JT's first one...in fact!
Here he is looking handsome as ever!
...here she is just as the rain started to fall!
...so we went somewhere covered to get our faces painted. This was one of the funniest parts of the night! Do you all remember when you were little and got a chance to get your faces painted? Do you remember the excitement that you felt? Well, HN and AL were feeling this same way tonight! They made me laugh so hard! First of all, AL face painting was so wet that her hair was stuck ALL over in it and was smearing red and black paint everywhere and she just wanted to get that UGLY thing off of her face. Let's put it this way...the face painter painted about as well as...well...I'd hate to say it...but as well as a 2 year old (kind of an insult to JT actually) Okay so HN gets up there and gets all painted up and walks away with her head held high thinking she's got the most amazing piece of work painted on her face. She proudly headed for the mirror to see the masterpiece on her cheek only to find a butterfly that looks like it just got hit by a quickly passing car! Her proud face quickly turned into utter embarrassment as she quickly came over to me and pleaded to go to the bathroom and wash it off! It was so funny!
...hmm what do we have here...a small little puddle, right?
...he thought that little puddle was pretty great...until he found this...
And thought it was FABULOUS!!
along with everyone else...except for AL who was too cold from all the rain already!
Do you remember what I said earlier...about the hail...well if you look closely you can even see it! Some of them were the size of small bouncy balls! Wherever we went everyone was huddled under the covered areas...except for us!
Look at the size of these puddles...

Well look at you havin' all the fun! We should have joined ya! We hung out in the cafeteria and did the cake walk in the gym a few times and actually won a cake! As far as the strawberries, we went to West Produce but you don't pick them yourself...they just have a stand with all their produce. It's a cute little farm though especially in the fall!
Do you remember the last time we all hung out together as families? We went to the family fair at the park in Orem - there was face painting, hot dogs, games, and a box of kittens someone was trying to give away and we mothers manfully resisted. Good times. You were preggers with the twins, about ready to pop, getting ready to move to Nevada. Ah, the good ol days . . . :-)
Cute new background! I love your last thought: "today is a gift"! So true.
I saw your comment about strawberry picking-there is a place in Stedman, Bunce Brothers. We are going tomorrow with Danny's preschool. If you want, maybe we could plan a date and all go together!
I loooooove rain puddles! What fun!
