July (part 2) and 1st part of August

Making Cupcakes- I had made cupcakes with the Young Women so Alden and I decided to decorate some cupcakes as well that we could take to some people.  We had fun making lots of different types.

Zoo Trip- Well sortof.  Alden and Calvin had free passes to the zoo through the reading program there but as it turned out all of Tucson had gotten free passes to the zoo that day as well.  I decided that we would play at the park and feed the ducks instead of visiting the zoo and just pay the extra $8 and go another day when we didn't have to wait in a couple hour line to get in.



Picnic Day at Mount Lemon- One of the days that Michael had off we went up to Mount Lemon, had a picnic and walked around.  It was wonderful! It was nice and cool, lots of green, and places for the boys to through rocks in the rivers.


Making Pizza- We have pizza day usually every Saturday.  The boys love to help me roll out the dough.



Temple Trip- This was our first temple trip where the whole family went. (While we have been living here we have mostly just driven up separately.) Michael went to the temple while I played with the boys and then we switched, it must have worn them out because they both slept a number of hours when we returned home.


Story Time- This was a story time on hats, but since it was the first story time of the month they sang to all of the August birthdays.  The only birthdays were Alden and Calvin so they both got sung to.





Bilingual Fair- We went to a bilingual fair the other day for Spanish/ English. It wasn't exactly what I had thought it would be but the boys had a great time and came home with some fun things!  Alden fell asleep in the car on the way home, I took a picture because since he doesn't nap anymore him falling asleep in the car is a rare occasion. 




The Real Zoo Trip-  We did finally make it back to the zoo, just in time before Calvin turned 2! The boys had a great time seeing the animals and we were glad there were not too many people.  We were able to see everything and even do a number of crafts in the couple hours we were there!
