Family Fun Fest

Well it turns out Deven got Labor Day off!!!! Yeah we loved it and he did so much yard work for me today. I should have taken pictures may be next time. He planted me new plants and trimmed up all the trees and shrubs it looked great. So we had to take some time to celebrate. Today our stake had a what they call Family Fun Fest. It was at the stake center and they had set up carnival rides and all sorts of slides and jumping gadgets. We had a ward pot luck and then of course they had cotton candy and snow cones and popcorn. Gracie thought it was awesome. Her favorite ride was this shark slide. I wish you could have seen her face when she came out the first time we weren't sure if she liked it she looked so unsure until she said "that was so fast I want to do it again." Gracie and mommy in front of her favorite slide "Jaws"

Gracie coming down the slide. Its too bad my camera delayed on taking the picture her face coming down was priceless. She is getting so brave.

Of course on a hot day nothing was more refreshing than a wonderful snow cone.

At the ward picnic Gracie was enjoying her pixie stick.

With Deven being a little more busy this month we spent one evening down at the park we like to take Gracie's car out and let her ride it around the tennis courts. She has so much fun she pretends to go to the store and of course McDonald's. I just enjoy watching her play and we both love a little fresh air.

On Sunday night Deven was desparte to play guitar hero and so he convinced Gracie she wanted to play to she thought it was so neat but was complaining the guitar was to heavy to play standing up so she decided to sit down to jam. I must say she was a natural. Unfortunatley real life starts again tomorrow. Deven is on call again and I need to be prepared for a long day. We will find some way to get out and make the day a little more bearable. I think this week will be long so we are just going to have to have a good attitude, and I guess we'll just have to have fun without Deven.
