A Visit from Cindy and Ken!

August 1-5, 2016

Monday, August 1 - Cindy and Ken arrived about noon.  We went to eat at Tommy Vaughns for lunch, then went to Idaho Falls where Nikelle hosted a birthday party for Courtney.

Before we went to the party, we stopped in at Brian's house so Cindy meet and feed their new little kitten, "Tigger".  Courtney's party was great, good food and fun decorations. We love you Courtney!

Tuesday, August 2 - We spent some time at Jensen's Grove, and our house. It's just so fun to be together.  (poor Jared had to work)

Maden got really brave and jumped off the dock.

Lots of fun playing in the water and sand and resting in the shade.

Ryder and Molly trying out the water. Molly has become quite a little fish.

We always have to eat, then Annie and Molly had a little dance.

Wednesday, August 3 - Cindy, Ken and Blake played tennis, then we just chilled and watched a movie. Then we went to watch Maden and Annie at Crossfit Kids, then we went to Texas Roadhouse, then to get a snow cone, then some of us went to watch Blake play tennis.

First, they did some rowing, then some ring work.  Coach Ken watching Celia.

I'm not sure what this is really called, but it looks like monkey bars to me.  The kids are getting really strong.  Maden was really afraid of this, but went farther than ever.  

Next they had to step between these ladder rungs, then do a trick on the mat.  

Even Clark got in on the action.  Maden had never reached the top of the rope, but he did for us to see.

It was really windy while we had our snow cones, but we had fun anyway.

Thursday, August 4 - More tennis in the morning, then we went to Rexburg to Fat Cats. We played in the arcade, miniature golf and bowling.  After we were done playing, we ate at Wingers.


Just some of the arcade action. Nikelle was the biggest winner.

The miniature golf course was all done in black light, it was kind of hard and scary to Annie.  There were a lot of monster looking things in there.

Blake, Brian and Nikelle bowled in a black light setting too.  This is a cute picture of Annie, Cindy, Ken and Maden walking to Wingers.

Friday, August 5 - We did family pictures in the morning, then came to our house for food and fun.  There was a lot of swinging, basketball playing and games.

Everyone seemed to get in on the swinging action.

The little ones tried out the little slide, some did really well, others had a harder time of it.

Some of us played a silly game called "beanboozled". It's a really funny game to watch, but a little scary to play. You've got to have a strong stomach if you get a bad tasting jelly bean.   Brian became a horse for his kids.

It was a fun filled week, we love having Cindy and Ken come to visit!
