Another Semester Down and Summer on it's Way

Last week I had finals.  I had two of them and both required a lot of studying.  I made it through and feel pretty good about them.  Now a week left until another round in the summer!  

Although a lot of are days are still the same old thing, we did have a few more exciting things going on these last couple of weeks.  

We have had a lot of family game nights. Clue was a particularly fun one.  We have played a lot of Authors and Rook and added Scategories to the mix as of yesterday.

We have enjoyed watching the music concerts and sing alongs that some of the celebrities have put together.  The Disney one was fun, and the others had Paul McCartney, Elton John and some of our other favorites.  

On Earth Day the kids and I went on a Nature Scavenger Hunt in the neighborhood which was fun.  It was a nice day and it was good to get out for a little bit.  

We did Roller hockey at the school one of the days.  That was a great time.  We hadn't played in a while.  It was great weather the past couple of weeks, so we have been trying to take advantage.

Wasatch, the kids’ school, had a day where we could drive by and see all the teachers outside.  That was fun.  It was fun to see the teachers and they sure seemed excited to see the kids.  It was especially fun to see Aunt Caryn for a minute.  We miss seeing family!

I had a little social distant visit with Julie and that was very enjoyable.  I miss talking, walking and visiting with her almost every day.  I visited with my mom for a few minutes this morning as well.

We did homemade pizza as a treat the other day.

Jake has a rocket that he saved as a kid, that was never used.  We had 3 rounds to try.  The first round was great, it went pretty high and came down great with the parachute.  So we called the cousins over to the school so they could see the second round (social distancing of course).  The second one went so high, which was so cool.  Unfortunately, because of the height and the wind it blew a lot farther away coming down.  We thought it was on a roof, so we called some ward friends close by with a high window and they said they couldn't see it.  Jake and Laws checked again, and it had blown completely out of the school yard over the building and across the street.  

We did the last launch the next weekend.  Quinn and Julie came to watch along with some Fetzer cousins, and we told our ward friends to come out to their balcony if they wanted to see it.  It didn't work for a minute, but after we changed the batteries we got a pretty good launch in.  It was a fun thing to see and it was great seeing friends and family from afar!

I think I miss the visits with friends and family the most!  We saw a few different friends outside these last few weeks because of the weather.  It was great to catch up, even if only for a moment from across the yard or street!  

We had a hot dog roast in the backyard a day!  Those are always a good time. We miss inviting people over for them though.

Saturday afternoon we went up to the cabin to stay overnight.  It was nice to get away and hang out at the cabin.  Saturday weather was beautiful, Sunday morning it rained. We enjoyed a nice walk and the kids explored the "forest".  We played a few different card games, had yummy foil dinners and watched "Father Goose", a Cary Grant classic!  It was a fun time.
