FHE @ Herriman Beach

For FHE two weeks ago we went with a bunch of our friends/neighbors out to Herriman Beach. We had dinner and let the kids (young and old-er) play in the sand and water.

What is everyone looking at?

Austin and some of the others who swam out past the buoy.

The group. Pretty much...

Pirate Party } Aaargh!

Our primary had a pirate party a few weeks ago. Austin is Elena's primary teacher so they both dressed up to participate.

Chanel wanted her picture taken too! She kept saying "cheese!"

They broke into groups and were sent on a treasure hunt. The missionaries had the treasure in their possesion and talked to the children about what type of treasure it could be. (The treasure was meant to be the scriptures)

There was a treasure box full of goodies and jewels. Elena opted for the ring pop. :0)

Mila, Abi, Abby, Elena, and Brooks enjoying their treasures!


Austin is always so good to get involved and have a good time with the kids. (Regardless of whose kids they are:)

Elena "walking the plank". I don't quite understand her strategy in her body contortion...

My "eye-patch baby"!

On the treasure hunt they met Alma and some others from the scriptures but then some theifs came in and stole their treasure. But the righteous were able to take it back from the theifs. It was such a fun party for all of the kids. Good job Primary Leaders!

Yay for a Yard!

In mid-July we finished putting our grass in the backyard and decided to use the remaining soil to re-vamp our front flower bed...

We hauled in some large boulders to make our border and picked out a few plants and decided where to place them. We still have a lot we want to add but this update definately helped the curb appeal:)

The girls kept plenty busy playing with the hose and in the water. Chanel thought the mud was delicious!
