May

Hunter loves having his bed turned into a cave or tent, depending on the day. He and Tucker loves to piles everything they can think of on the bed. It also works out well to sneak up on them and scare them while they are playing.

We went with Bryant down to the Provo Airport on our way somewhere else. After Bryant finished up whatever it was he needed to get done, he helped the children climb into one of the airplanes that we were next too. They all thought it was super exciting to get inside the airplane.

After the airport, we went to Walmart and then had a picnic lunch at Neilsen's park. They have a lot of ducks there. Everyone had fun feeding them. We even got to see a couple of baby ducks.

On an other trip to a store we went through Sportsman's Warehouse. They have this nice statute outside the store and the boys really wanted a picture with it :)

Tucker wanted me to take a picture of him with his "baby" I have several of him with different animals. He often requests to borrow the camera to take pictures of all his babies and only wants his picture taken if he can have at least one of his babies in it.

We went to the Museum of Peoples and Cultures for their annual block party again this year. The boys had fun trying to grind corn into flour.

Then they dug in the sand to find "artifacts." They each kept an arrowhead

At the museum they also had the artifacts that had been found while excavation was going on at the Provo City Center Temple on display.

Tucker and Hunter were really looking forward to Fathers and Sons this year. Tucker went last year and Hunter was eagerly awaiting to go for the first time. We got a new tent that would hold all of them and packed up all their clothes for a good time. The morning of the camp out, it was raining really hard. I started prepping the boys that it would likely be too wet to go camping. The rain had stopped in Provo a couple of hours before the camp out and an hour before in Springville, near the campsite. Bryant was actually going to take them camping, in spite of the potentially muddy mess that awaited them, I had even loaded up the van, but when he went to grab his phone after dinner he had a message telling him that the fathers and sons had been cancelled due to weather. Bryant still considered going to the camp ground but he didn't know if he would need to pay to camp or if if was cancelled because the camp ground had just been washed out, so to speak. We discovered the next day, an email from a member of the stake telling us that those who had wanted to camp could have still gone camping, but that the stake was no longer planning on providing breakfast.

Hunter was deeply disappointed that he did not get to go camping. Tucker was understanding and willing to be happy with camping in the tent in the living room. Hunter's attitude changed once the tent was set up Even Brylee was happy to get in on the fun.

Thankfully, the tent is small and there was not enough room for me too :)
