1. I helped with another Activity Day outing this week (that's 4 in a row in case you're counting) at Thanksgiving Point. I thought a July outing to the farm there was poor planning (wouldn't September or October have been nicer?) but it wasn't too insanely hot.
2. I used Randy's laptop and wrote the entire Primary Program in the comfort of the cozy the other day. I had my scriptures, the primary outline, the list of songs we're using, and the list of all the kids in the primary spread out beside me. I still need to assign most of the parts (I had started out doing that, but then realized my list of kids is out of date) and tweak of few things but the overall program is written, woohoo! This is my 3rd year in a row writing this program.
3. As I've mentioned before, Landon has taken to leaving us notes on an almost-daily basis. We found this one waiting for us when we went to bed the other night.
4. Landon's self-imposed week of no screen watching has been quite amazing. He has played with a variety of friends and they have managed to entertain themselves with all sorts of board games, soccer and so on. I'm so impressed with his resolve in doing this.
5. We're going cushy camping with my whole family tonight for our 2nd annual Maher Family Campout. I say cushy, because it's in cabins at the church's Girl's camp and therefore is perfectly maintained, has nice bathrooms and showers, and a pebble ice machine at the pavilion! It still involves bringing a ton of stuff with us, but I'm all for it because I love having an excuse to spend time in the mountains.
We're hoping it won't rain, but we're prepared for indoor activities just in case.
**How was your week?
Ever been cushy camping?**

Comment Window Tidbit: This has been the mellowest week of our summer by far.

Landon is such a great kid!
I thought I was the only one that packed for trips in laundry baskets. :)
We are all writing the program together. We just got started on it Wed and I am excited about it this year. Have fun camping.
You should save all Landon's sweet notes and place them in a book. It will be a great treasure later in life!
Have fun cushy camping with your fam! Hope the weather was great!
HUGE relief, I am sure, that you are finished witht he Primary Program!!! WOW!
Cushy camping is probably the only kind of camping I could tolerate! But seriously, a weekend getaway sounds fun. We start school Monday so this weekend we are just hanging around close to home.
cushy camping sounds like a perfect weekend getaway!
We camped last night, so exhausted at the moment. I need to get going on our program too. 1st one for me!
Landon has an amazing mother - thus he is an amazing kid.
I want a pebble ice machine at my house!
I'm jealous that you have people that will play boggle with you...no one at my house will play with me!
Cushy camping is the only way to go.
Sorry, I can't really comment any further because I am rendered speechless by Landon's self-imposed no screen week. Who is that kid??
wow, activity days are quite the time-heavy commitment. is this summer blitz normal everywhere? i bet the girls love it, though!
uh, #2 is a staggering accomplishment to me. wow.
i went to the bathroom outside once in my life, and i believe that was enough to last me for an eternity. i love nature, but i don't need to role around in it to appreciate it! i'm sure the cushy surroundings put everyone in a better mood, which is always key when it comes to a successful family outing.
