Last "Park"able Weekend in AZ 'til Fall

















Good thing our ward planned an outing to the park yesterday, otherwise we would've missed the last chance to go before it gets HOT next week (which just means swimming season can start). We would've missed it because Toby, Julianna and I were all asleep on Saturday afternoon until 'Ms Social Calendar' Heather got back from her birthday party and woke us up to keep us going so she could complete her third event of the day.

The kids all had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa at the butterfly exhibit (and their backyard) while Susan and I and Julianna went to Costco (Susan was reminded that it is dangerous to go with me because I tell her to buy everything she might need). Once the kids got home, Susan ran Heather to Gilbert for a fun birthday party and Susan went to the library (by herself!) while I changed another infamous Julianna blowout. Somehow, after 7 hours of car rides, adventures, and entertaining, Heather still had the energy to keep us going for our picnic at the park, and once home from that, went with Susan to Michael's for some craft items!

The boys had fun doing lasertag in the park, Julianna got to see lots of new stuff and kept busy (and relatively happy) all day, and Susan and I just survived it all.

It's a good thing we managed to get to the Butterfly Pavilion yesterday 'cause things are really heating up. Dad turned on the swamp cooler in my greenhouse this morning (already 99 degrees at 8:30!)

I guess this means that park season in Utah has FINALLY arrived.

Let the heat begin! I guess.

We just had our 1st day at the park today. It was a little early. Park season really begins in mid-May here.
