First week out of school . . .

And here I thought life might slow down a little once school was out, WRONG! This last week has been crazy. It started with a quick trip to Utah for Grandpa Chappell's funeral. We will miss him but forever remember his stories.

Here are all the Chappell kids (except Casey) and all the grandkids.

Here are the 3 newest Chappell grandkids, the first time they've all been together. And quite a challenge to get them all to look at the camera.



We also took the kids to the circus this week. We found those hats at Target and the kids decorated them before we went. They were so excited and enjoyed every minute of it, except the walk out to the car afterwards. We even saw some friends there which made it all the more fun. Devri wasn't sure what to think. She was so excited watching the opening act and the next time I looked over at her, she was fast asleep. I guess she enjoyed herself too.


Since school is out I planned activities to keep the kids busy. One of them was rainbow pudding. Ben was most excited about this one. He loves pudding!



We rounded out the week attending Annie at the SuperSummer theater with some friends. It was a first for us but probably not the last, we had a great time. I was surprised the kids stayed awake through the whole show since it didn't start until after 8pm but they liked it. And since they had friends to keep them busy before the show, time went by fast. Next time I think we won't bother with the chairs- it was much harder to see sitting in the chairs.
