Saturday adventure bring your own cup slushie day

Out of order pic walking back home.

Due to busy schedules, and tired of planning Saturday adventures, we finally decided to do an easy one this past Saturday. We did bring your own cup slurpie day to speedimart. Adeline brought her big water bottle and got a combination.

The boys just did big gulp containers but with slurpee inside.

Evelyn and her overflowing water bottle ha ha.

Walking back home. It was a quick and fast outdoor adventure.

Adeline art class, Liam football, Evelyn bday party at Boondocks, more football

Adeline started back up art class at the beginning of September. She was a little concerned that Miss Madison isn't there anymore (WE LOVED LOVED her!), but the new teacher Miss Billy is great and Adeline likes her. Here is her monster in a jar and it has a story behind it.

Some axolotol drawings. She has gotten really good at those ha ha.

A penguin.

Due to a minor neck injury Liam had to sit out the game against West Jordan. But I still wanted to get a picture of him.

Evelyn has a new friend at school named Zoey and she got invited to her birthday party at Boondocks, so I got a few pictures of her doing the go-carts when I went to go pick her up.

She had a lot of fun at the party.

Adeline's art class "dragon eye". It was sparkly as well.

Liam did get to play some of the game against Granger, but they had moved down some of the varsity players to their team to have more depth, so he didn't play nearly as much :(

And they had him playing a new position at corner, which was very strange for him.

They lost that game as well, but it was fun to see Liam out there regardless.

Curiosity Museum, Part 3

Out of order pic in the music room of the city. Evelyn was inventing a song based on keys she chose. It was kind of cool to hear.

Spending some time in the waterworks area. Making a snowflake.

Figuring out how to make lightning.

Adeline built some fun bridges in the wet area.

This was a thing we don't remember being here before, but balls came down from a contraption on the ceiling and both girls tried to catch them in a bucket. It was harder than it looked!

Playing music to make the water bubbles go.

More song making.

Adeline was actually playing some of her piano songs here! It was fun to see the bubble interpretation. Thanks Museum of Curiosity! You are always a fun time!

Curiosity Museum, High Ropes Course

Since it was only $5 day, I let the girls do the high ropes course since it was only $5. I told them I would NOT be doing it, so they were brave. I was proud of them for how many strong muscles they had to use. I asked Evelyn if it was as hard or scary as the zipline airbourne ladder earlier this summer and she said no. Phew!

Getting to the main part of the course.

I was proud of Evelyn for doing this. It took a lot of strength in righty, especially on the times she had to go righty facing first, which is much more difficult for her. She has come a long ways.

This was a little tricky for both girls because the steps were a little further apart, but they did it!

Doing the balance beam.

And Evelyn made it to the super high stairs. I was limited where I could watch so I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but this is the best I could do.

Adeline working her way over to the stairs.

This section was trickier for Adeline because her legs are shorter, but with the help of the super nice guy, she did it!

Heading up the regular stairs to the high stairs.

She was very nervous to do the high stairs, but she did great!

Coming back down meant righty had to go first. But she did it! I'm not sure she has done much going down on zip courses with righty side having to go first. This may have been a first. Great job Evelyn!
