Wayne and Leann's visit- Red Rock Canyon

We enjoyed a beautiful day at Red Rock Canyon with Wayne and Leann. The weather was very nice.We spent quite a bit of time at the visitor's center.  

Alex and Sabrina participated in the Jr. Ranger Program, which I think is a great program.

During the scenic loop we stopped so that Leann, the kids, and I could climb for a bit. It was so much fun.

Wayne and Leann's - Container Park

Once again, I haven't updated the blog in a long time.

 

We visited Container Park which is a park located downtown and surrounded by businesses in shipping containers. They are really nice inside and you can't tell they are made from shipping containers

 The very cool playground equipment is also made of shipping containers.

 

 

The kids also had a good time playing with giant Lego bricks.

 

 

Afterwards we walked to a souvenir shop. Many people dress in costume to collect tips for photos on Fremount Street.

Wayne and Leann's Visit - Picnic at Whitney Mesa Park

Thankfully a child requested Whitney Mesa park for our picnic because when we got there we realized that we left the chicken! Whitney Mesa Park is about a five minute drive from home so I was able to retrieve it.

Sabrina has been wanting to go back to the rock wall. So, we took Wayne and Leann during their visit. Nobody made it to the top this time, but all four climbers did get a workout.

Wayne and Leann's Visit- Sea Quest

This was the first time we took Wayne to Sea Quest. One of the perks of having a family membership is that guests are half off. We all enjoyed it.

Wayne and Leann's Visit - Bounce U

We were excited that Leann was able to come visit with Wayne this time.

 

 

I had a couple of free passes left for Bounce U. The kids love going there, (it isn't my favorite place so they haven't been there since Wayne's last visit).

Dentist office school! Yes, they worked on homeschool while waiting for me to finish my appointment.

Afterwards we went to Trader Joe's.

Girls' Night In

During girls' night in, Sabrina and I walked the dog. Sabrina enjoyed choosing our route.

Co-op- end of semester party

Our semester of co-op has been a lot of fun and a lot of work. We celebrated with a party. Each teacher had a display of things the children learned in the classrooms. There was also a recognition of the teachers and those who planned it.

Someone brought a parachute, which was a big success.

There were also a handful of board games, which were also fun, though the kids mostly played outdoors.

The middle school and high students put on a play that they worked very hard on.

It has been a wonderful semester, but I am looking forward to the break.
