Aaron is such a fun dad. This was the last full weekend we have with very one home before school starts, so he asked everyone to get Friday off work, then he rented a house on Table Rock Lake for a couple nights, and a party boat all day Friday. We played games, watched movies, had the funniest conversations, and made incredible memories. We missed Jamine Quincy (Korea) Ryan (working) big time.
We pulled off a great surprise for Corbin. Reese helped get Ammon’s work shift rearranged at Crumbl, and during our first night at the house, Ammon and Hyrum came through the door. They piled on Corbin and spent the weekend with our family. Everyone loved it, even Sloane, who is “mortal enemies” with Ammon. Corbin was SO happy to have this extra time with his boys before they leave for their missions in Brazil in a few weeks.
The party boat had two water slides and a platform on top. Perfect for our family. We also had a big floating water mat. Everyone except Reese, Aaron, and I swam out to the bluffs and cliff jumped. Reese was an amazing DJ and kept tunes going all day. We snacked, laughed, played games, lost an anchor, raced off the slides, wrestled, and swam for 6 hours on the lake, then ate pizza at the marina.
Soren has a special talent. This kid can catch any food (grapes, cherries, marshmallows, cheese balls, whatever) tossed to him in his mouth and he rarely misses, even with a terrible throw. It’s amazing. My brother mark has this same gift. We spent a solid block of time just tossing food out to him on the water.
Back at the house, ukes were played, the badly untuned piano downstairs was played, cards were played, and lore was dropped. We watched anaconda and the proposal after the little kids went to bed, Aaron gave out mission prep challenges. I packed the hair clippers and gave a bunch of haircuts. Esme and Logan win the family plank challenge.
