Tuesday in the morning there was a Wymount Olympics activity. Then we tried to get Connor's shots, but they wouldn't give them to him because we were a couple of days early. So we decided to go to walmart and get the school supplies that Jared and Lauren needed. on the way home we were driving past the Central gardens of Utah and their sign board said free admission. I had always thought you had to pay...so we turned around and went. It is a conservation garden, so it uses fifty percent less water. It was fun to stop and walk around. There was a sprinkler display with buttons to turn different types of sprinklers on. This was on of their favorite parts. They would take turns pushing the button while the others would run through it....ok it was mostly Jared and Lauren...Bradley didn't get too wet. They also had some play houses that everyone loved playing in. It was a good fun adventure. I even learned the name of a flower that I have been trying to figure out for quite awhile....it's Lantana. I was ready to go before everyone else...They had talked me into another adventure...and we were about to go and then I remembered Jared's soccer game. His first one of the season. We just had to hurry home and get ready to make it on time. Jared scored a goal and had a great time. That night I had a primary meeting...training with the stake.
Wednesday we went to ready to learn. Then we went to the splash pads at the Riverwoods. I have been wanting to go all summer. It was a super hot day and everyone enjoyed cooling off a bit.
Thursday we did more cleaning up and getting ready for Grandma and Grandpa Schachterle and Greg. In the afternoon was the last Wymount water activity. Grandma and Grandpa and Greg met us at Lauren 's soccer game. She did great and scored a goal too. After the game we came home and had dinner (white bean chicken chili ) and visited.
Friday we hiked Stewart falls. Everyone walked the whole way there. Lauren and Bradley got carried on the way back. Jared was so fast that the rest of us had a hard time keeping up. Alan had to go to work but Jeff and Elizabeth both took the day off and went too. We had nachos when we got home. Then hurried down to the Utah country fair. It was the ranch rodeo night. It was fun to watch part of that, then walk around the fair. Bradley threw up in the middle of the night. I thought we had just worn him out hiking but something was going around.
Saturday we went to seven peaks for most of the day. We had a yummy barbecue when we got home and grandma and Grandpa helped Greg check into his dorm. Then in the evening we played some fun games with all of us together. I don't know what it is really called, but the name game where everyone takes on a name and you have to figure out who is who.
Sunday was our last week of 8:30 church for a while. We have had it at 8:30 for 2 years...and the year before that it was at 8. (We did do 4 months of 12 o'clock church when we first moved here) It will be different going at 12:30....but at least we will still have Sacrament meeting first. Grandma and Grandpa and Greg visited our ward and Jeff and Elizabeth's too. Alan's class went well and singing time was good too. We worked on learning the 2nd verse of Build An Ark. I took a mirror since the verse is all about us. Then we talked about what it means to build our own ark and being spiritually prepared. We also put together a paper cake since it was going to be President Monson's 85th birthday. We had sweet pork cafe rio salads for dinner. Then we played more games. The name game and one with 3 rounds...like catch phrase and charades all rolled into one. We also went on a walk to the great valley. Alan started not feeling so great in the evening too.
