Jack's school has a father-daughter dance and a mother-son sports night (formerly mother-son dance, but trying something new, due to low turn-out). It was our first time attending and Jack and I had a GREAT time. 10 different sporting events, mother/son teams organized into larger color teams...very well organized and allowed us to meet mothers and sons of different ages as well. We came home super tired after 2 1/2 hours of fun Friday night! :-) It was the perfect night for the event...it had been an 80 degree day - but cooled way down once the sun disappeared behind the mountains.
The funniest part of the whole night and probably a lesson the organizer will never forget...after 30 minutes...the sprinklers came on and every 10 minutes was going to move to a new section of the outdoor area we were playing in. the organizers were scrambling to find out how to turn them off. The first 20 minutes were fine - no activities there...but the next section doused our friends on the hippity-hoppity balls and sack races! The screams were hysterical - especially since we were a dry distance away! hehe I bet next year, making sure the sprinklers are turned off will be the first thing on her to-do list!
Some pics from our fun times with cousin Ian! Ryan has mastered the art of singing Twinkle twinkle or The Wheels on the Bus any time Ian starts to fuss. It works like a charm...Ian stops fussing, swivels his head around to look at Ryan and for the moment is fascinated (until Ryan stops). :-) Jack loves playing peek-a-boo in one of our tunnels with Ian. Ian LOVES books!
