Father's Day Weekend

Well, It is taking me a little time to get to the posting of Father's Day weekend. It was quite the eventful weekend and we had a great time together as a family. My sister Zahra came into town on Thursday and we all went down to Bountiful to spend the weekend. Jason came up on Friday night to spend the weekend with us as well.
On Thursday night we went out to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory with all the cousins. It is always a favorite to get together and eat mizithra.
On Friday Zahra and I were busy making a bike cake for her friend's wedding. It turned out really cute, Zahra is an amazing cake decorater. Friday evening the kids, Kathie and I went to an antique car show that was in downtown Bountiful. I'm not really into old cars but it was something to do. Kathie bought the kids a snow cone which was the highlight of the evening. Jason met us back at Grandma's house with pizza at about 7:30. We had a nice dinner with Kathie and Grandma then we were off to the hotel. The kids were dying to go swimming so we took them down to the pool for a while.
On Saturday Zahra was busy with wedding stuff so we just hung out with our own little family. Saturday night we let McKinley babysit all the kids and we went out to dinner with Clay, Aria, Kathie, Tyler and Naava. It was so much fun to be with them without be interrupted by little kids. Jason and Tyler went and say Iron Man after dinner and Naava, Kathie and I went back up to her house to hang out. It ended up being quite a late night and the kids were exhausted.
Sunday was father's day and we all slept in which was fabulous. We went to church with Zahra in the morning to Mom's old church. After church we went on a picnic up Muller Canyon.The Kids had a great time hiking around with their dad and eating giant rice crispie treats.








It was a hot day and by the time we got finished we were all lagging quite a bit. The kids went right home and had naps and Zahra and I baked strawberry pies for dinner. We had dinner at Kathie's house with all of her family.
We had a nice BBQ dinner at Kathie's followed by some yummy strawberry pie. The dinner was in honor of the two dads present, Jason and Tyler. So of course we had to have steak.



After dinner Jason headed back up to Heber. The rest of us stayed and played some fun games. We played the family favorite "In the Manner of the Adverb" which produced some award winning performaces from Clayton and Zahra.
Here are some pictures of them acting out the adverb "happily".



On Monday we took Zahra to the airport for her flight home. The kids were sad that Zuggi (as Hallie calls her) had to leave. Hallie is still asking me where Zuggi is.
