Friday night picnic

With the warm weather, we decided to have a picnic for dinner Friday night. We went to our favorite airplane watching corner of the park downtown. Some friends came with us and we had a great time. The weather was just amazing and we learned some interesting things about airplanes. We discovered what the underside of a commercial airliner looks like. We discovered that, even though the airplane is a couple hundred feet above our heads, there is this incredible wind that follows behind it. We also discovered that following the wind behind the airplane is more wind, but this one whistles! This evening was so perfect and must be what President Hinckley (President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until his death earlier this year) was speaking of when he said that "successful families are established and maintained by principles of faith, prayer, forgiveness,...and wholesome recreational activities." This night was the stuff that binds our family together.

(This is my new favorite picture of the kids- it is so rare to get one where they are all looking at the camera and smiling!)




Logan was running around playing on the grass and there was this huge plane that was pretty low and it was loud. He couldn't stop running and playing but had to cover his ears while he was!

Is this what happens to a boy who has a princess for a sister? The princess points and laughs while Cam wears the pink crown! We have lots of blackmail pictures that all involve something pink-a batting helmet, kitty rain boots, Cinderella slippers and now a crown!

What's a little fun at the park without some wrestling!


Knowing that we were going to be outside, before we left the house, I asked the kids to grab their hats in case the sun was still hot. This is the hat that Em brought. She is our resident princess!
