The sun was shining and the air was warm and the kids had their friends over for a little bit so I made them play in the backyard. It was perfect!
The little rascals were playing a lively game of Harry Potter with complicated characters and story lines. I wanted to get a picture of them all running around with their wands but I was more content just sitting enjoying the sun. I did get this picture of Rylee when she was sitting down doing witch things and she gladly held up her wand for the picure.
I am not sure why these pictures of Rylee eating dinner were taken but she sure is a cutie!
Saturday night we went to the YM/YW Spaghetti feed and auction camp fundraiser. We paid $10 for our family to eat dinner and then could bid on different items that were being auctioned off. I donated 2 dozen homemade rolls and 2 dozen of my sugar cookies to the cause but never saw how much they went for, they were part of the silent auction. Whomever did get them was very lucky indeed because my rolls and cookies are delicious!
Kefford really wanted this "Batman vs Superman/Ironman vs Captain America cake from the silent auction. He kept an eye on the bidding and swooped in at the last second with the highest bid. He was pretty pleased and it was so delicious. Heidi made the cake and she is awesome at her craft. It was chocolate chunk cake with a raspberry filling and chocolate frosting. Kefford also bid on and won a 250 pack of bullets. It was a very successful night for the youth and they raised the money they needed and then some.
While we were having this nice sunny weekend, Kenedy was in California enjoying the gray skies, cooler temps and little bits of rain. She went to on a tour with her choir and they went to Utah where they stopped at Highland High for a showcase, next they went to Las Vegas where they got to go see the blue Man group. After the fun of that they headed down to California to go to Disneyland and California Adventure. They had some performances to give and some workshops to attend but other then that they got to hang out in the two parks and have fun. Kenedy had such a fun time on this tour, she loved being with her friends, seeing the show and of course going to Disneyland.
On Saturday the lucky girl got to meet up with my Mom, Heather, Ashleigh and Andrew Brown for a couple of hours in the afternoon. My Mom treated her to lunch, used her discount so Kenedy could get some fun things more inexpensively and they all rode some rides together. I was so happy that Kenedy could spend a little bit of time with my family, they are awesome! Of course not one of them thought to take a picture together until it was too late but my Mom snapped a picture of the rest of them on California Screamin' as they were taking off and Heather and Ashleigh snapped a couple of "stalker" pictures of Kenedy after they all said goodbye. Being with Family is the best!
