Fun Friday ~ June 26th ~ Ready, Set, GET WET! June 29, 2009
The weekend of the 18th-21st was Prescott Valley Days, so there was no Fun Friday.
We did go out and watch the parade, since we live on the main road that is goes up…and I forgot my camera. But I figured no big deal since we didn’t know anyone in the parade.
So the last fun Friday was the get wet day! The one the kids REALLY look forward to! The have a giant slip and slide, water gun fights, water balloon fights, watermelon eating contest and other games.
The girls didn’t have swim suits so we went and bought them new ones. I despise shopping for swim suits even for the girls! But we managed to find some cute ones.
Water gun fights are a free for all! Grab a gun and spray!
They had some small slip n’ slides set up too…
It was a nice warm morning…but the water still made them chilly…so they cuddled up in a towel!
Waiting in line for the giant slip n’ slide!
The best part of the whole day! A huge slip n’ slide! Sage opts for running down the length of it!
Ashlyn kinda flopped on this run…
Seth takes his turn!
Corbin made it down the slope!
Maybe the knees work better!
Bathing beauties! Ashlyn and Sage with their friend Kate!
Watermelon contest!!
No hands! Dig in!
Forget the rules!
And they are set loose with the water balloons!
Fun Friday ~ June 12th ~ True Red, White & Blue! June 29, 2009
The second fun Friday had a patriotic theme…at least the prizes did…lol
The kids played on the playground…and Seth drew a smiley in the sand.
And Corbin trapped himself…he was really stuck in there! I told him we would have to call the fire dept. to come saw him out! And luckily they were right next door! He finally wiggled his way out and decided it was a fun place to be and went right back. lol
They played kick ball and with a little coaching Sage and Ashlyn got on base! Corbin got to be the pitcher and somehow Seth ended up with the Boys and Girls Club group so I had to sneak off and find him to get a few pics of him! He has changed so much over the last year! Last summer he would have opted to sit with me rather than be sent off with out his brother or sisters! But he went off and played and had a good time!
They got to test their throwing arm and knock down milk bottles…
Yummy Red, White and Blue Jello!
And prizes!!
A bean bag toss!
And last but not least…Sack Races!!
Fun Friday ~ June 5th~ It’s a Summer Kickoff ~ Let’s Luau! June 29, 2009
This year Fun Fridays have been a bit of a let down…
First off there were only 3…last year there were at least 10, covering the whole summer.
They seem very unorganized, they start late and end early…but…the kids do have fun still and that’s what matters…right?
So to kick off the Fun Fridays they had a Luau! And it was WINDY! So making Leis was not a fun experience and I am pretty sure they stopped making them after the first group. The girls were in the first group that made them so they fought the wind and made pretty leis.
The boys played more games than the girls but I couldn’t leave the girls so I didn’t get many pics of the boys. You can see Corbin standing up behind the parachute on the left…Seth is in there somewhere too.
Sage was happy just running and dancing around!
Ashlyn had fun playing the dress-up race but later told me she did not like the glasses!
At this point the fun day had pretty much been abandoned by all the people in charge so the girls took turns crawling through the tunnels.
Sage found the hula hoops!
And helped pick up balls!
At the end they all got fruit salad!
