Memorial Day 2013

This year for Memorial Day weekend we headed to Cascade with our friends for a fun weekend at their cabin. There were 6 adults and 7 kids. We headed up Friday and come home on Monday. Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Saturday Morning they decided to find pine cones and throw them off the deck. I think Kirk was trying to hit the flag pole!
Madison found some big ones. She brought them home so she could make bird feeders. 
    

Here are the 3 toddler amigos!! Kaylee is the oldest then Brynley 14 days later, the McKay is 3 months younger than Brynley. 



 Between the three families, there were 2 Kindles, and 2 Ipads. They played mostly when it was raining. But the cabin was nice and quiet when they were playing! 

On Saturday afternoon some of us loaded up the kids and took them to Gold Fork Hot Springs 


The happy group after our swim. Travis and Tate didn't get in, they chose to go fishing instead.

The hot springs were pretty cool. The first few pools were really hot. Too hot for the kids. 



This next area had cooler water and a white sandy beach. 
This pool also had sand as the floor of the pool. 


Then the next section was 3 pools that were connected. The top
was the warmest then the last was pretty cold. 


That's the end of the first 2 days. I will post again tomorrow.

Best of Broadway!

Madison did an after school activity this year. It was called "Best of Broadway!" It was held every Wednesday after school and they practiced singing and dancing. They were educated as to what Broadway was and meant. They got to watch a few shows and learned about 6 songs. 

Since Madison isn't exactly athletically gifted, she needed an outlet for her creativity, and song memorizing abilities! 



This is before they started "Hard Knock Life" from Annie. Madison played Annie, and got a few solos. 
They preformed in one of the Kindergarten rooms because the group was small. 


"Cleaning the Floors" All the girls did a really good job and sang pretty well.



They also did,
"Summer Lovin'"
"I feel Pretty"
Some song from "Oklahoma"
"Popular" from Wicked

I had a video but of course it won't download. So I will spare your ears. You will thank me later! She had fun even though it was not very well organized. 

We are going to Cascade for the weekend so I will blog about that when we get home. 

The kids and 3 days of school left........ I am so not ready!
