Blast Off and Piano Lessons

Woe is us! Brigham is out of town right now. He is in Vegas at the Ortho Academy. We are missing him. Luckily we had a nice diversion last night. It was customer appreciation night at a local "fun zone". (Brigham is a customer that places adds in their magazine.) Anyway, we got to go and spend some energy. The kids had a blast climbing through this big maze and having "ball wars". Their strategy was to lie on their backs so the balls were easily accessible and then launch them. They were clear winners. I admit, I have a phobia for ball pits. I read an article once about the dangers of them. The kids emptied one whole section of balls though, and I was relieved to see there were no syringes or feces on the bottom. :(

This poor little fellow was so frustrated. He would pick up a ball inside the net and struggle to get it out. Seth helped him out by wiggling a ball out for him. We also played some mini-golf and ate hamburgers. They had all the soda you could stomach. Poor Katry is not drinking soda right now for a challenge at school. She was a real trooper- and just drank lemonade. Way to stay strong sweetie!

We played several rounds of lazer tag. The kids are going to try to talk Dad into setting up a course in our new house. It was a blast.

The kids started piano lessons a month or so ago. Katry complained that she didn't want to have lessons with that "old lady". They all went through withdrawals not having their young and fun teacher- Sister Shirts. We miss you!

Kaleb is providing lessons for Kai, who is easily distracted. Together though, they are very, very CUTE, and make really fun MUSIC!
