Space Park

It's funny how our family gives certain parks nicknames and others we don't.  Some of these nicknames really stick.  For example, the kite flying park.  Years ago we went to fly kites there for Kite Day (even though we have other parks that we found work better for kite flying) and the name stuck.
Hill Park, however, is just Hill Park.  It's an appropriate name anyway because of its location.  And Scera Park is just Scera Park because that's its name.
Often nicknames come when the kids don't know the name of the park so we use it to explain what park we're talking about and that's how we continue to describe it even if later everyone learns the actual name of the park.  Or the kids make up the name like "fishy park" because part of the playground has the shape of a fish.
One recently nicknamed park is where we celebrated Pluto Day.  Since then the kids have been calling it Space Park and saying that one of the playgrounds at the park looks like it has space equipment on it.  So it was appropriate on Meteor Day, June 30, to play at Space Park with friends.

And it was fun.

Me, My Selfie, and I

June 29 is National Camera Day.  Jeremy suggested a name for this blog post when I told him what the holiday was.  So I went with it.
We got selfies of our family and some friends today.

Here are some pictures that Lucky took a different day when he got hold of my camera.  Sigh.

National Chocolate Pudding Day 2015

June 26 is National Chocolate Pudding Day.

How did you celebrate?

Museum Comes to Life Day 2015

We didn't watch Night at the Museum for Museum Comes to Life Day this year on June 24.
We did go up to visit the Wonders at the Museum of Ancient Life.  Zeus at Olympia looks so awesome.
In the statue's hand is a smaller statue of "Winged Victory" or "Nike."  When a breeze blows through the room, Zeus's fingers move.  It's like he comes to life.  How awesome to celebrate that way this year.

Catch of the Day

I'm not exactly sure what was happening in this picture, but I had to share.

Man, This Summer

Wow.  We are being kept busy this Summer.  The kids and I got to go visit friends this morning to have some water fun.  The kids got to run around in sprinklers and play in a kiddie pool and squirt each other with water toys.  I got to have nice conversation with my friend.  Then we all had lunch before the kids and I headed home.

Then this evening we got to go to a farewell party for a friend who is going to be heading out on a mission.  She was so much younger when we first moved into this ward.  Now she's going on a mission.  It was good to see all the people wishing her well.  The kids had fun playing games and rolling around in big balls.  Jeremy was even able to make it after he finished work.  It was a great evening. 

Man, this Summer has been so busy.  It's been great, though.

World Juggling Day

This year, World Juggling Day was on June 20.

I juggled for the kids and Lucky laughed so hard while watching me.  It was great.
