Happy Ron Smith Day

Friday morning when the boys woke up, I could tell right from the start that it was going to be imperative that we got out that day. We all just seemed cranky. Because we were off, it took us all morning to get everyone ready to go. We had to take something to Brian up at the campus and then I took the boys to the park. By the time we got there it was 11:30! It had been such an annoying morning. But what started out bad, turned good. Very good! We were up at Veron Worthin Park just playing on the playground. Then when the boys moved to the swings, I saw that at the other end of the park, there were all these people, some booths and a couple of bouncy looking things. The boys were involved in swinging, but a lady from my ward and her little boy pulled up because he wanted to check it out. When they came back, she told me that one of the DJ's for 101.6, Ron Smith, was having just a random special day. There were 2 bouncy houses, pizza, and drinks and it was all for free! The boys were tired of swinging, so we headed to the other side of the park.

They had a great time bouncing in the bouncy house and crawling through the bouncy obstabcle course. It occupied them for a long time.When they were both red faced and thirsty, we stopped bouncing and got to eat free pizza for lunch. The break in the shade and the food gave them new found energy.

They went back to the playground to play some more.

Then they discovered this retaining wall. They walked up and down it for a while and then realized that it was small enough that they could jump off. They'd jump off, climb back up, jump off, climb back up, again and again. They probably could have done this for an hour, but we had been having so much fun, that now it was Dexy's nap time. Plus, Dexy pulled this face! We all know what that means. It was really time to go. But we had had such a fun morning. We'd been outside, playing and happy and doing it all for free, for 2 hours. It was fabulous!
