End of school, temple walk, and visitor

6/11—End of the year assembly at school.  Andrew received the character trait award for cooperation.  The assembly was combined with the talent show so it was extra fun to watch!  It was also the principal’s last assembly since he got a promotion for next year.

After making 6 batches of freezer jam, I still had a ton of strawberries left, so I washed up them and froze them.  They looked so pretty spread out on the pan!

We bought a new camera, and Darrin has loved playing around it.  His favorite thing to play with is the focus.

6/13—Our ward had an activity were we walked to the temple from our stake center.  The total mileage was about 8 miles.  With Darrin’s knee not being 100% we didn’t think we should walk that far, so we started about halfway.  It was a fun thing to do as a family and memories were definitely made!

Ready to start!

There is a park right next to the temple where we ate lunch.  Then we walked over to the temple and gave our names to the designated person who went in and had our cards printed for us.   We enjoyed the temple grounds and the visitor’s center.

After church we hung out waiting for Darrin to get done at the church.  Josh entertained him by showing him all the movies he’d recently made.  And of all people, Brad is the best one to show stuff like that too…he laughs hysterically at everything.  :)

After grilling some dinner, we played games and played in the backyard.  Brad was a good sport and had pretend picnics in the backyard with Ella.  She adored him.

After the kids went to bed, Darrin and Brad worked on their family history and chatted.  I went to bed long before they did.

Darrin and Brad both left Monday morning before Ella work up.  Her first question after looking around was “Hey, where’s my two dads?”  lol.  It was hilarious!
