With two parents, 10 kids, 9 spouses, and 32 grand kids, we make sure to have lots of activities to participate in. Now all growing up, my dad would make rocket ships with us and we would go out into the field behind Newport High School and shoot them up into the sky. We absolutely loved doing this. The rockets would fly high and then we would chase after them and brig them back to my dad to set them up again. I especially remember one time when I got to put a rocket together and then I painted it a bright neon pink. Good times!
So here is my dad's rocket, the Big Kahuna, with my brother's Jamie and Ian helping to get it set up.
Unfortunately the Big Kahuna had a failure to launch complex going on.
The mudhole has a great swimming area. The kids made this little pool area and then my sister, Kim, hung out in it with the little ones.
We had a family talent show and Jared was helping the girls to stay on beat.
Everyone who made a rocket. The girls and I made three rockets and painted them and then completely forgot them and left them on the counter at home. Bummer!!
Dad setting up the launch pad.
Just a funny picture of Jared.
Mackenzie and Alexis sang two songs for the talent show. They sound so sweet together.
Do you know the cups song? Well my sister, Rebekah sang that song with her two girls, Baili and Krysten. Except she changed the words to be a song about eternal families. This talent was by far the best talent done that night. I really enjoyed it!
Kenzie, Baili, Lexie and Eli sang a song they made up about cleaning.
Here's the words...
Let's do the clean up,
let's do pick up.
Let's do the everybody, everywhere, with a smile on your face.
And some cleaning every day.
Without complaining.
Jared played a song on the guitar for me.
The Weber 10 sang, "We've all got daddy's nose."
Ian totally photo bombed my dad.
I totally photo bombed my nephews, Parker and Conner.
Eli and Jayne were buddies the whole time.
Well when you live close by it's easy to be great friends.
