Park Photo Contest

Springville had a photography contest this last week. There were 5 parks listed and you were to go to the park and then follow the instructions they gave you. The instructions were something like start at the park sign and walk straight 34 paces. Turn 90 degrees left and walk 4 paces. You get the point. When you reached the final spot you were to take as creative a picture as you could. Then you submitted your photos. The results will be read at the concert on Friday so we don't know if we won. But in my book we are all the winners so I'm posting everyone's photos for your enjoyment. We did 4 parks so we each have 4 pictures except Hillary who must not have pushed the button and I didn't notice. I'll do each person as their own post - so be sure to scroll down and check them all out. I was impressed with everyones and we had fun doing it despite the initial grumblings that I was interupting "play" time.

Fun Weekend stuff

We participated in our first 5k this weekend. It was of course the kick off to Art City Days. For us it's a fun filled week culminating in a grand finale of concert and fireworks on Saturday. Here's pat in all his glory. He did well - finishing in about the middle of the pack. The older kids both finished but walked most of it and Hillary suffered two broken legs and couldn't continue after a couple of blocks. (Don't panic...her legs were NOT actually broken - that's just what she said).
But luckily the two "broken" legs didn't prevent her riding her new bike. She got it last week and LOVES it. She is actually very good also - maybe by the end of the summer we'll be training wheel free.

Hillary loves to put herself in Penny's house. I swear it wasn't me.

Pat and Connor went fishing and Connor did really well. They were using bobbers and Connor says "Pat I think I lost my bobber". He didn't understand the concept of a bobber I guess:)
