1st Day of Preschool

Here is Avery on his first day of preschool!
A lady in our ward volunteered to do a little preschool for her son, Avery, and two other little boysin the area.  Avery goes 2 times a week for 2 hours.  He absolutely loves it!  He was so looking forward to riding the bus to school and was disappointed that it didn't come.  However, he loves to ride his bike since it is only a couple of blocks away.  He asks every day if it is school yet.  He seems to be more interested in learning already!  We love our little (or should we say BIG) guy and are so proud of all he has already learned in preschool.

Fairmont Fun

We went to Fairmont, Montana for the annual Labor Day weekend condo time that Brian's family has.  This year, we only had Brian's brother, Bret and his family and Brian's sister Taunya come with us. On our way up we went to the Brigham City Temple open house, (we forgot to take pictures).  It was really beautiful inside and really nice to have our kids their to see the inside of the temple (since it is normally closed to people other than endowed members (who are older)).
Afterwards, we took the long drive up to Montana.  On our way, we stopped at Crystal Park which was really neat.  We all dug in the dirt and found actual crystals!  It was a little addicting to dig in the dirt.  The kids had fun to climbing all over the hillside as well as finding cool rocks and crystals.  We will have to do that again sometime.



Then we went to to Fairmont.  At Fairmont we did the tradition hunt for golf balls on the golf course (in the weeds where people lose them).  We sure did get quite  a few this year!


Then ofcourse, we played at the swimming pool.  We rode down the waterslide quite a few times as well as jumping in the pool and playing "Marco Polo" and freeze tag.  One of the times, Avery accidently dove into the pool.  He thought that was pretty cool.

 Some other fun things we did at the condo were: visit the smoke stack in Anaconda and the Lost Creek waterfall.
It was a long trip up there, but we had a lot of fun and were glad we went.  It was fun to do some new things while staying at the condo.  It was also just fun to be able to relax with our family!
