Mtn Vistas Day 2009

With our unusually rainy June weather....Mtn Vistas Day got rained out. It was rescheduled

for Saturday the 27th. It started with the kids parade (the original fun run was held 2 weeks ago. Amanda and Mike ran in that!) I was thinking the kids could do the parade by themselves this year and I could sit on the sidelines and cheer. But, someone squirted Brandon with silly string and it was all over! I could hear him crying a block away! So, I carried his scooter and walked with him back home.

Unfortunately, Mike & I had to miss the rest of the day. Mike's boss, Barry, got married at the Homestead, so we had to leave Kville around 3:30. We didn't feel like we could tell the kids to stay in the house while we were gone, so we called on our loyal friends to help! Amanda handled Brandon during the inflatables and games. Sydney went with her friend, Hannah. For dinner, Jeni Wilson helped out...making sure the kids got food. Then came the movie and the kids were reunited on the lawn of the commons. We got home about 9:30 and joined the kids for the end of the movie. It was about 11:15p by the time we got them home and in bed!

Barry's wedding was really nice. It's beautiful in Midway. It had been a long time since I had been up there and there is a lot of new houses, etc. It was fun to hang with Mike's other bosses and also, Nick, the sales manager with his wife, Louise. And it was nice to have a long drive with my hubby!

As a side note, Mike's uncle John, passed away last week. We attended his funeral on Monday. The funeral didn't feel sad. A lot of good and fun memories about John.

I need to update about girls camp, but I probably won't get to it tonight. Amanda is up playing with Brynna Jones and just called about a sleepover! Our family policy is no sleepovers...but when it's the boss's daughter that is begging to have your daughter sleepover...what do you do? We gave in.......

Sorry to hear about Mike's uncle. It's good when the funeral isn't so sad.

The girls look so cute in your ballet posts and I bet you're glad all the ballet craziness is over.
