Activities, Activities, Activities

Along with summer at the Romriell house comes lots and lots of activities! So much fun and such a great time seeing each of the kids growing in their various interests. So to share a few of them I am posting some of our favorite videos thus far.

Family Fun Day

At the ZOO
Another Saturday without Matt around...what should we do with our time...the zoo is having a family fun day, we should go!

My mom and I ended up being all on our own for the day so we decided to take the kids to the zoo. It was a lot of fun just walking around and being together to see fun things. The kids were able to jump in a bounce house, see a HUGE snake and a couple of them even wanted to get their faces painted. Luke became Spiderman and Shelby turned into a dog.




After the walking and checking things out we got to go on a trolley ride with Uncle Cody. It was so fun to see him in his element, driving a bus (or trolley in this case). So funny to see him all grown up acting like an adult! SMILE

HORSE RACES

OFF TO THE RACES!!

When I was younger my family spent oodles of time back and forth between horse races. We traveled to the Sandy Downs track in Idaho Falls regularly and spent many weekends camped out here at the Pocatello race track. Of course as I got older and got busier with my own life it just seemed I didn't get back very often. It was such a fun experience and one my own family hasn't been able to be a part of. You can only guess how much fun it was to take all of the kids to the track to see their grandpa Shappart's horse race. I'm pretty sure Luke has the racing blood or at least the absolute love of horses running through him. Definitely a childhood memory that was fun to share with my own kids. I think Matt even had a good time! :)

Time Flies!!

It only feels like a week ago I posted Shelby's baptism but as life goes it has been much much longer than that! We have had so many things since then that I thought maybe I should get this little blog updated at least a tiny bit.

The week after Shelby's baptism we celebrated Easter. What a wonderful time for all of us. It gave us some much needed time for reflection and a chance to be so thankful for the knowledge our Heavenly Father has given us. It was a very full weekend with Leslie's funeral and enjoying all the family that was in town. So grateful for the time we got to spend with everyone, especially Paul! Matt seems like a more complete person whenever he has his little brother around to talk to and hang out with.

Given the circumstances we didn't miss the chance to have to kids do an Easter egg hunt, Grandma Leslie wouldn't have wanted it any other way!! They were all so cute and fun to watch as they searched through the little patches of snow for some brightly colored surprise.




Then Aunt Annabeth planned some fun games for the kids complete with some awesome prizes!! Just a wonderful experience and a fun time.
