The Primary decided to add to the fun by decorating bikes and having a parade. We have a small Primary, but it is still a task getting that many kids down the block at once. Who is the boy in the red bike helmet in the front? Is that Ben? I think we somehow made it home with his helmet, oops. John had a slight problem with his noise maker and ended up at the end of the pack. And there is our sweet Primary Pres helping a little girl down the street.
As if decorating bikes and having a parade wasn't enough, they added in letting all the kids make visors. It was a day of foam crafts for our kids. Here the girls are sporting both their glasses made earlier in the day and their visors made that night.
There was lots of ice cream and toppings along with some yummy watermelon. They had a DJ come and play music and do karoke. I could not resist John when he came and asked me if I would dance with him. It was so sweet.And just as the sun went down the dark clouds that had been off in the distance blew in and it started to down pour. We haven't had that much rain in such a short period of time all summer. We kept thinking it would just blow over, but after about an hour of gusting wind it was obvious it would not go away. We felt really bad when a basketball standard blew over and shattered someone's windshield. I think that was about the time it was decided to end the event. So the Cul-de-sac of Fire turned into the Cul-de-sac of Chaos. That was confirmed when we realized the next morning that Mark's eye glasses were missing. A trip down the street confirmed they had been dropped at some point in the night. A little bent and dirty, but they did survive after a trip to the store to get straightened.
When we realized Sunday night was the last night you could legally set off fireworks in Utah, we gave in and had our own little family party setting off the small pack of fireworks we had gotten. All in all, the event was fun, just not what was planned!

Sounds like the cul-de-sac of fire was an event to be remembered in different ways for different people. cute that john asked you to dance. that is so sweet.
The boy with the red helmet is Parker. Ben is the boy on the pink and purple--thankfully he thinks his sister's hand me down is kind of cool--but I'm sure that won't last for long;-) I have an extra helmet too, I was planning on bringing it on Sunday and making a primary announcement if you want to add yours to the mix, I'm good with that too!
What a fun night! We're sad the rain never let up enough to do the fireworks... booo! We have next year to look forward to! smile!
By the way... I just realized that Amy's PC party is on Thursday night and that's when we work at the Temple... bummer! Please tell her I'm so sorry! I would LOVE to be there!
