We arrived Monday and started pulling weeds the first hour! The work never stops at the Skousen home.
Tuesday my mom rented a huge bounce house. The boys jumped all day! I even climbed in and jumped a few times.
The boys built a fairy house. They love bugs and fairy's take care of animals and bugs.
The boys worked on a car, earned a paycheck, then went to the store and bought groceries. It was so cute.
Edward found a birds nest on the ground. Animals are so interesting. Nature takes care of itself in such amazing ways.
We had a pool party to celebrate Landon's 13th birthday.
Thursday we did a few science experiments. The boys loved watching the volcanos erupt.
After science experiments, Nolen surprised me by learning to swing! It was so cool.
That afternoon we bought soccer gear for the upcoming season and a few amphibians.
Saturday night, we went to relay for life. It is an event to help fundraiser money for cancer.
Sunday morning, Edward rescued a baby bird from the pond.
Monday, I picked up Stephen in Vegas then we stayed at the New York New York.
Tuesday we headed up to the Hualapis to camp. We ate and ate and ate! Possibly my favorite day of the trip.
Stephen worked all week on repairing the boat.
And then my moms car was backed in to. Yikes!
Friday, we golfed.
Then we headed out to ride motorcycles past Hackberry road.
Saturday, we headed to lake Mohave with our fixed up boat. The boat made it on three runs before it started to sink.
I love my family. I love that we get together every year. It's my favorite time of year.
