This is what we see every day as we look out our window...looks like a used car lot.. nope just our neighbor. The funny thing is that there are only 2 drivers... oh yes there is 2 more trucks in the back yard.
There was a kite and balloon festival out at Antelope Island last week end, so we thought it would be fun to go see the kites and balloons. and this is what we saw.......
These were the food booths, and the food was very expensive. A Navajo taco was $8.50 and every thing else was about the same price so we didn't eat there. It doesn't look like many people were there and that was right until about 7:00pm when a lot showed up.
These are the kites that were on display.
This kite was REALLY BIG it doesn't look like it but it was impressive.
This kite was pretty cool. All the kites that you can see were all hooked together and the one on ground would turn with the wind. OK that's all there was for 2 hours.....:(.....:(........:(...There was a point that I actually went to sleep. They were supposed to fly the balloons at 6pm and by 7pm we still couldn't see any balloons, and we were tired and hungry so we left.
Labor Day: We decided to go to Park city. Our first stop was the Olympic Park.
This is where they teach the skiers to do the jumps of the slopes.
I really liked to watch this guy
As he would come down the slope the man in the tower would turn on all the bubbles in the pool for an easier landing. Dad got these 2 picture of the guy just before he hit the water
Other than that, Park city was not the most fun place to be on Labor Day. Everybody was there and the lines went on forever. Dad didn't want to stand in line that long so we decided that when Robyn came in 2 weeks we would try again. At least all the kids would be in school and parents would be at work so the lines would be a lot more user friendly. The rest of the day was walking and walking and walking. Park city really wasn't a pleasant day for us.
Can you guess what all these Kiddie Kollege are waiting for? 
They are waiting for their turn to meet "Joshua" the llama. Jeremy Read was kind enough to bring a llama to school so we didn't have to walk down, and cross the street to see them.
Jeremy brought food pellets so all the kids could feed the llamas.
Joshua is very gentle so the the kids could get up close and personal.
Here is Haylee feeding the llama. Chester and even little Grady got to feed him, but I didn't get those pictures. Sorry Grady and Chester. It was a fun activity for the kids.
This morning while on our walk in the park we came upon this pile of biosolids! The city is finishing the park behind the school and they are about ready to put the lawn in. Can you guess what this pile is????? It really stinks, and they were spreading it with a manure spreader. Kiddie Kollege smelled real good today. Well it's....in a nut shell.......human waste(poop) made into fertilizer.
OK this really isn't the best thing to have after the last picture but that is just how it happened. Dad and I went to a bread making class when he bought me our Bosch machine. Well dad has really taken to making bread and he is really good at it. "My dad" would be so proud. Any way Galen has been using different wheat to make his bread...... The only thing differenc between the 2 loafs of bread is the one on right was made with my dads old red wheat(date unknown) and the bread on the left is made with new white wheat.
I must say that Dad makes really GOOD BREAD!!!!!
Haylee called me and asked if she could sleep over on Friday while we were at the balloon festival. I told her that she could sleep over on Sunday night because she didn't have to go to school on Monday because it was Labor day. So this is where Haylee and Chester slept....
on the TV room floor.
Today we bought a new toy for the Kiddie Kollege....A helicopter! Dad had most of it put together by the time I got home from school and so I hepled him finish.
the kids should have fun on it.
