Weekend Fun

Jonathan, Sawyer, Rachel, Ryland & Sutton


It was H-O-T here again this weekend, with temperatures reaching 104 on Saturday, so we decided to beat the heat and head somewhere where the A/C was cranking on someone else's dime...we ended up at the mall where we met up with the boys' cousins who live a couple of hours away from us. We have a few big malls in our area, but we don't actually go there very often, so the kids had a lot of fun.


Our first stop was the Lego store where we spent some time building and creating - the boys especially had a blast creating their own mini-fig people. Next we headed over to Build-a-Bear where the kids all made their own stuffed pals. We haven't been there in over a year, so it was fun to see how the kids have grown up and changed - this time they were both really excited to stuff their own animals and make a wish on the little stuffed heart that goes inside them (last year they were both scared of the stuffing machine). We finished our day with a trip through the Disney store, some mini Cinnabons and lemonade before heading back out in the heat to come home. It's always so nice spending time with our extended family! ♥

Sutton and Colby (modeling a pair of swim trunks that we got last year at BAB).

Sawyer made a camo bear, just like the one his cousin Ryland had. He begged me all morning yesterday to make his bear some special new clothes, so we ended up with this Batman outfit to match the cape and mask that Sawyer has.

He love, love, loves his bear and the new Batman garb!

Nothing rounds out a hot weekend better than ooey gooey s'mores!
