Gingerbread Houses

Making gingerbread houses with the grandkids is always fun. Kenyon and Kolbie eat more of the candy than they decorate with. Me and Kenyon were trying to make a camp trailer gingerbread house. The problem was- we couldn't get our graham crackers to stick together.

Kolbie put his house together quickly- he wanted to eat his house now!!!

Kamree built a "tremors" gingerbread house- Complete with worms in the sandy front yard. This was definately a fun way to spend the afternoon after going to their Christmas program at school.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
