Home Evening

Just a little family home Evening.

To all the new parents

Now that we approach a new baby in our family (don't know what I'll do about the blog name), I thought this video was great.

It all began with a high speed car chase.

Had a wonderful day with the family. I started off the morning right by waking up early, then because of that we were ready to take off and have fun before the day was over (if I tend to sleep in on a Saturday it takes a while to get going).

Just as we were about to load the kids into the car I heard a couple of police sirens. Usually this means someone in our ward has called for an ambulance, but this time there was no ambulance leading the chase. Instead a large lifted truck flew by on our street at about 60 mph with two wailing police cars in tow . Pretty fast for a 25 mph zone. After they passed and turned the corner with a screeching of tires two more police cars followed.

For anyone that knows me I just love cops the people and cops the show. This was the first in-person chase I've witnessed and it was intense. I wish I could have driven by them later on with the cops tasing the guy after he lost in his attempt to allude the police, but we didn't run across them after following in their tracks, and after a call to the dispatch later in the day I found out that the guy got away.

We did however find some cool things to do because we went that way. The kids built 3 bird houses over at the local museum. The Home Depot stopped by there and was running a kids workshop. So much fun helping the kids pound nails. I'm sure Natalie will be posting pictures at her blog. She wouldn't like it if I used the pictures before her.

We then heard about an activity at a nature preserve where we could help plant trees. We hadn't planned on it but we decided it would be fun. It's much better to dig holes somewhere besides your own yard. We were able to plant trees on the sides of a creek and the kids loved doing it. Sunscreen was my companion this weekend, so I won't have to show up at church with a red skull. We went to lunch, then to Thanksgiving Point Childrens Garden, and then home for a nap. This is too long. I'm done.
