June came and went.

Not sure how, but June just got completely away from me. That seems to happen a lot lately. Also, I was terrible at taking pictures for all our activities. 

We spent some at Logan's Summerfest Arts Faire. It takes place at the Logan Tabernacle. There were so many things to see and do. They has an arts and crafts area for the kids. The girls made foam visors, plastic sun catchers, and pinwheels. There were booths all across the lawn of the Tabernacle with art work from all different medias; glass work in both stained glass fashion and blown art work, oil paintings, watercolor, photography, recycled art work, crafty decor, etc. Some artists drew and painted on location. There was even a section for side walk chalk art. Here, they had boards set up for kids to draw on.

Finished work.

 We also had the annual Watterson Family Reunion in Ophir, Utah. Great camping ground. We arrived late Friday night and set up the tent. The girls loved sleeping in the tent and managed to stay wrapped up this year so they stayed warm. They played on the play ground and all over with their cousins. I made some pillow cases for the auction.

We tried fishing a couple more times. Once with Grandpa Steve in Wanship and another time here in Wellsville. Daddy snagged a small fish in Wellsville and Ellie helped reel it in. It managed to get free before we pulled it to shore for a pic though.

We also drove to Lava Hot Springs to spend some time with the youth from our previous ward and hang out with Jake's brother and his family. It was a pretty drive and after seeing it, I really think we will try to go back and staying to play. 

Of course, mixed in with that we played across the street and at parks and what not. Just can't believe it came and went so fast.

Memorial Weekend

Over the weekend, we decided to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun. Especially since it was so warm. 

First, the girls tried their hands at fishing. Like most kids on their first time, Ellie was a little disappointed it didn't work out like tv shows and movies. Fish just don't automatically appear on your line. Sammi didn't care. She had a Tinkerbell fishing pole and that's all the mattered. Although the girls might do better at spinners cause they just wanted to toss the line and reel it in. 

Then of course we had to play in the sprinklers. The girls started out a little wary of the cold water coming out of the hose. (Side note; if there is only 1 outside water spout, chances are you need 100' hose. If its on the back corner of the house, 50' won't even reach the driveway to wash your car.) They tried to tell me they would wait until the water warmed up. I know a few people who would love to have warm water come out of the house. Sorry doesn't work that way.

Water was too cold. Time to warm up.
