for the 24th of july my mother and mike rented this gigantic slide for the kids. They spent a solid 2 hours going down non stop. True to Hurricane style in the afternoon the clouds turned dark and the wind blew, but that didn't stop them. I was going to go down but it was pretty wicked at the bottom (a couple of injuries occured) so I stayed clear. Kdiddy represented the ballard clan and went down though. We had a bbq afterwards, I was in charge of homemade rootbeer (delicious), well technically I put myself in charge of that. The night ended with fireworks. Thank you pioneer children for this lovely holiday!
I got really ambitious all of a sudden and decided to paint the baby room. I didn't go a shade lighter, when I was at home depot amongst the thousands of colors I forgot the color Summer ever told me to do. So with my good eye:) I picked one that is pretty dang close. I am happy with the blue and green choices as well. One step closer!!
Our second annual wwf kolob campout was this past weekend. My mom and mike bought a lot so we roughed it there. Every family brought tin foil dinners for Friday night, and after Leslie taught the kids how to make homemade ice cream with plastic bags, ice, a tin can, and rock salt. We roasted mallows, had serious discussions, and didn't sleep! Naomi and stew road their bikes from Hurr. to Kolob a 30 mile ride on the hottest day of the year thus far so they didn't make the pic. I think they arrived at 9:30.
