The Whale Ride
Last saturday we got Rea's bike working, so this week she rode it a lot.
Sara has been reading a book every day to learn more about reading. We are hoping that if we do this enough she will start to like it.
This week Timmy has been singing a lot of songs that he invented himself.
Gideon will crawl across the whole house and play by himself now. That is fun.
Alison attended her second League of Utah Writer's meeting this week. It was a write in at a coffee shop. She hadn't worked on writing at all since the last meeting, so it was fun to spend some time writing.
On Thursday Mike's work had a summer party. We were all invited to Lagoon. We hung out in the water-park area for the first few hours, and then after dinner went on a bunch of kiddie rides. All in all it was a fairly fun time. The kids loved the whale ride the most. It was a bunch of whales that you sit in and go around a circle while bobbing up and down in a sine wave pattern. It was fun to see them have such a good time.
They also went on a pterodactyl ride, which was way to scary for Timmy and Sara, but they put on a brave face, and didn't scream at all. It was just one of those rides that only moves vertically, and lifts you up and then drops you repeatedly. We ended the day with a carousel ride, and then drove home.
On Friday we attended the second to last showing of Night at the Imperial at the Off Broadway Theatre. It was quite fun. Even though an understudy played the famous french chef, you couldn't even tell. We really like their plays. The OBT is good at humor.
Saturday we did a bunch of work in the morning, and then attended Max's baptism in the evening. They had an ice cream social after the baptism, so we attended that as well. It was fun to get together with the family. Since our last few times trying to get together family for anything has been invariably a failure, we had not invited anyone over for a while, but it was so fun that we decided to try to have another get-together.
Last Saturday I fixed the 3D printer to try and print something for a coworker, but the print went awry and gummed up the whole thing again. I fixed it again this Saturday, and printed a few things on Sunday. It is now working again. Here's to hoping that it keeps working for a little bit more.
This week was also still super hot. Perhaps we will get to move somewhere cooler some day. First we need to build up our passive income.
