Sam on Science

On the way home from school today Sam was walking with his 3 rd grader friend who was giving him a lesson on precipitation. At the end of the lecture Sam defiantly said, "That's not true, Heavenly Father and Jesus send down the rain." I love the faith of a child.

Fourth of July in Payson

Believe it or not fireworks at the 4th of July in Mesa are pretty miserable. We have found if we go to Payson which is about an hour and a half that it makes for a much more pleasant experience. We had BJ's parents cabin in Pine, AZ for a while,m but since it was sold we don't have access to it. This year we took a little trip and stayed in a hotel to watch the fireworks in decent temperatures. Payson's firework display is at at local park with a lake it is very beautiful. We noticed this year that after it got dark there were bats flying over the water eating bugs. It was really cool.

I have found that no matter where I am I have 3 kids gravitate to me like magnets. So loved!

Brodi helping Hannah get a drink at a drinking fountain, cutest thing ever.

We hiked to Natural Bridges near Pine, AZ.

Very warn out on the way home

Sam vs Vegetables

Sam does not like veggies. He has a 6th sense for knowing if there is a veggie in food. He detests green veggies the most. We have finally gotten him to eat the "leaves" off of broccoli. Silly boy.

The silliest silly face

These are the kids silliest face that they could make. Hannah couldn't sit still long enough for me to take a clear one.

Science Center

We bought a family membership tongue science center this year. The kids were a bit unsure about it I think. Sam was a little freaked out about the section about the body and Brodi was unsure of the bike that you can ride on a cable. They did all have a great time at the water exhibit.
