Payson Lakes

Lets go to Payson Lakes this week for our field trip. Thursday at 11:00 am we will meet at my house. Bring something to float on and sand toys. Also bring a picnic lunch.
It is will a blast. See ya then

Payson Lakes is Canceled

Payson Lakes Field Trip is just not going to happen this week. I will reschedule later. I am so busy I just feel bad to let my Posse down. But sometimes ya got to do what ya got to do.

Payson Lakes

I can go on Wednesday if you all would like. That is the only day I can swing it. We woul dhave to leave here at 11:30 am. That means get in and get the quilts done and leave Humanitarian by 11:30. Take a lunch with us and head up to the lake. Let me knwo what you think about this???

Payson Lakes

Payson Lakes is the field trip this week. I am not sure what to do. I am taking away from Anne's Reading time. Could we go later .....go earlier and come home to be at the reading club? Maybe we can see if reading time can be a bit later and we can go a bit earlier. I will let ya know tomorrow. Could we change it to Wednesday after humanitarian or go Thursday? Please post as to what you can and cannot do.

Carny

The carny is in town....... love it and hate it......... Love to drive by hate to go......!!!! Morning I am told is best. Nights are like living on the wild side in some foreign country south of us. But if you go with Bushman's I am told you may get some extra excitement. One year they saw someone they knew arrested. IT WAS NOT ME! Another year they witnessed a mullet man driving a red neck truck hit a lady (going slow but did hit her) and her child. I am not sure going with them is safe but it is exciting. Anywho's I am going tomorrow. MORNING. and trying to skip the hard core carny's if anyone wants to join me.

Saturday is the parade. Have fun with that. The only good parade in the state I already attended. I will be boating.

See ya next week on the next field trip. PAYSON LAKES.! It will be a blast. You must not miss this one. I will post Saturday or Sunday the times and details. Have a Great Weekend.

Sticky Shoe Play

The movie this week is a play. Cinderella. Should be a cute play. It is $1.50 if you do not have season movie tickets. Be there early as it will be crowded I think. I am arriving at 1:00 pm. Let me know what you think. See ya all there. Note that the play is at a different time then the usual movie times. They are Thursday and Friday only 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Friday may have a 11 am.

Wednesday GEO- Cashing, Humanitarian , and Lunch

We are going to have a blast GEO-Cashing. It is like going on a treasure hunt. Things are going to work a bit different for this activity. So here is the plan.........................
We are going to humanitarian at 10 am with kids in hand. After we are done with the projects we will be having our lunch with all that show up to humanitarian. You need to bring something to share for lunch. I am personally bringing something so good you will love it, :) Jenny should be calling everyone on the lunch too. After lunch we will go on the Geo-cashing leaving right there from the church. Lets try and carpool to make it earlier while we are driving around finding our treasures. You need to bring something to put into the boxes. You can only take something out if you can replace it with something else. I personally bought a bag of goodies from Party Land in Lehi. It cost me about $3.98 for a bag full plastic cute farm animals. No candy or food items are allowed in the boxes. We will be inviting all the Mom's that go to humanitarian this week to go on THIS field trip only. We do not want to hurt any ones feeling since we are leaving from the church and eating at the church.
So you need to bring....
1. Something yummy to share for lunch
2. Something to put in the boxes so your kids can take something out.
OK now here is the part I need help with........ If you have a GPS devise. I need you to call me today!!!!! I need to get the hunts downloaded on to your GPS system. I have the hunts already.
Ken can help with this. We plan on getting this done Tuesday Night. So call me so I can arrange a time to help you get this done. I have 2 GPS devises. We need a few more though.
Fyi-- The river trip is below this post . If you are going post now!

Tuesday July 14th

I am floating the river in Leamington again Tuesday. If any of you want to go let me know. I am planning on leaving here at 11:30 am. Stopping for lunch at Wendy's in Nephi and continuing on to the river. Please post if you are going with me so I know to wait for you.

Steel Days Week Activities and Field Trips

Ok here is the scoop.................. I have allot I am doing this week. ..............Due to the fact that NICK Broke His Arm, and I can not go to Cali!!! I am going all out to have fun so I do not cry because a beach house sounds so much better then the carny. You are all invited to come if you would like.
Monday is a official Field Trip. Bike Ride and then Breakfast at my house. I need to know who is coming, and who is just eating breakfast.
Tuesday is not a official trip. I am just floating the river and a few that did not go I asked if they would like to go this time. And a few that already went I ask to go also. I guess I have a big mouth and asked the whole world basically to go. So come and bring a friend.
Wednesday is a official Field Trip and it is Geo-cashing after HUMANITARIAN.
Thursday is I guess a field trip activity (The Sticky Shoe)but everyone goes on the day that suits them best. It just so happens to be a play this week instead. Because of Steel Days.
Friday I am going to the carny and hope to meet the man of my dreams, hook up, and be taken away from all the drama in my life right now. :):):) So there is the scoop starting Sunday i will list the activity for the next day and all the information you need. You can respond and I will know if you are coming or not.
But for today you need to go down one post from here and let me know about the bike ride and breakfast. The trip is closed officially tomorrow. I am listing Monday's because I have a wedding tomorrow evening and I need to buy the breakfast items before that. You have until tomorrow to let me know if you are coming. After that the field trip is closed or canceled.

Pancake Breakfast

Ok we are meeting at my house at 8:30 am and eating breakfast.I will have it ready by the time you arrive at my house. We will then travel up to Cedar hills and travel on the paved trail in any fashion you would like. Bike, jog, run, walk, skip, scooter, or what ever. I plan on being back by 11:30am. the latest.
Post below if you are interested?? Or if breakfast only sounds good to you that is fine too. Come eat and go get ready for the day.

Friday Movie Day Kung Fu Panda

Movie Day this week is Friday. Kung Fu Panda is the matinee. Meet at 10:40 am at the Sticky Shoe. Should be a fun time.

Don't forget to get your carnival tickets this week if you plan on going to the Steel Days. AF City Hall still has allot of tickets. They are $1 each.

This is not a field trip just a FYI for all you Mom's out there.

As you all may know Nic broke his hand on the FHE Hike and may be having surgery so I am not going to California next week. So.............................

I am having the bike ride or jog breakfast on Monday July 13th. . Meet at my house at 9:00 am We will go on a bike ride, jog, or walk with the kids and then eat Pancakes , Sausage, and eggs at my house in the back yard.

You need to go online and get your discount printed up. You can visit treehousemuseum.org. It is for a $1 off for the kids. Print up and have them color the page. We will be leaving my house at 10:30 am. It will take a bit to get there. I plan on seeing if we can carpool up and not have to take so many cars and share gas if that helps anyone.

The cost is $4 for kids and adults. If you plan on going please post on the blog
Thanks

Delta Res

OK this is just a added comment to see if there is any interest to this field trip........

Is anyone interested in a Delta Res Overnighter with families? We could tent , trailer, or motel it. AND........

go to the Res and play and boat for a day. The Res has a sandy beach with trees and picnic tables.

All could go but there would be some cost involved for the boat gas. Let me know if this is something you would or would not like to do?????

There are 2 other new post besides this one. Look below too.

Sicky Shoe Movie "FLUSHED"

The movie day this week is Wednesday at 11:00 am. Remember that the movie line gets long fast. Be there at 10:45 am. Flushed is the movie this week. I have 2 tickets if anyone wants them. See ya at the Movies!

Fun on the River

We had fun on the river today. If you take into account that Patti was cold, Jenny wanted to know where the rope was the whole time, and Shauna Bushman dogged us. All in all a good time. Jk. It was a blast. We had fun. The sun did go away for a time and we were a bit chilly at times. But once again my boys had a fun time and loved the field trip. I did not think that I would enjoy this summer as much as I have when I quit working in November. I was so worried about what I was going to do to not want to go back to work. Thanks to a few good ideas, great friends, and Ken's money (lol) I am totally content to just mooching off Ken and enjoy the SUMMER! lol. Thanks to all that went today. Thanks for being my friend and enjoying this summer with my boys and I.

p.s. The picture is when we were leaving the fun one river town of Leamington, Utah population 217. There where more of us that went on the river.....but did not get in on the picture. Jenny got to town and wanted to know where the gas station was. had to inform her it was 30 miles back in Nephi. or 30 miles ahead in Delta. So she flew by the photo op.

Floating the River

We are Floating the River tomorrow. Please be at my house by 11:00 am. We will be leaving no later then 11:15 am from American Fork. The drive to Leamington is about 1 hr and 10 min. Bring a picnic lunch as we will be stopping at the Park in Nephi to picnic and then go on to the river.

All kids under the age of 9 need to have a life jacket. If they are not good swimmers no matter how old you are you need a life jacket. I have extra life jackets at my house. Please plan on being safe not sorry. The river is a lazy type river but not as lazy as the river at 7peaks. You can float on tubes, air mattresses, or a life jacket. I personally purchased rafts for $3.00 up town for my boys to use. You will also need some type on shoe to wear. tennis shoes, water shoes, sandals that strap on. No flip flops they will fall off. Bring a beach towel for when you get out of the river. It will be hot tomorrow. You will need sun screen. If you burn bring it! If you think you won't burn bring it.

So picnic lunch, life jacket, floating devise, towel, sun screen, and something to wear on your feet.. MY house at 11:00 am

Directions, American Fork south on I-15 to Nephi, First exit. Turn right. Go to the middle of town on main street you will see a park on the left side. Park by picnic tables under the Bowery by 7-11. Leave from Nephi continue down main street, turn right at stop light. Go till you come to the town of Leamington. Stop by the church on the left in the middle of town. Wait there till everyone has arrived.

See ya all at my house...........

If you would like to bring a picnic dinner you are welcome to and we can eat when we get up to the lake. The hike is bout 4 miles round trip. This hike is not straight up like the Timp Cave was. You can also bring a pole an fish if you would like too. Thanks and I hope to see you all there.

Trent's Mission Farewell

Our Dear Trent Searle's Mission Farewell is this Sunday. I am going to be sad for him to leave all of us. BUT I am excited for the great experience he is going to have and all the great life lessons he will learn. I am sure his testimony will grow and be received by all out in the great state of Washington.

He is going to honor us with a great talk on Sunday and all should attend. Our Church like always starts at 11:00 a.m. I will tell you that there are many Searle's out there and friends that will be attending. You will want to be to Church early this week. Make sure you all scoot to the middle of the row do not just sit on the ends.

I am also so proud to let you know........My Nicholas will be also talking at Church on Sunday. There was a opportunity for him to talk and I signed him up being Trent's friend and all. I think it will be a great thing for him to talk on the day of Trent's Farewell. So see you all there on Sunday. Trent I am so proud of the decision you made to go on a mission. You are a great example to my family. We are all going to miss you. You are AWESOME!

Sticky Shoe

Remember the Movie tomorrow. I have 2 extra tickets if anyone wants them.

Manti Pageant

The Pageant was allot of fun. I really enjoyed watching the Book of Mormon unfold and the story of coming to the Salt Lake Valley. We have really come along way since then. It is all amazing. But the most amazing thing is that the Gospel has not changed,.

The cabin was fun even though I ended up staying behind to go to Haylee's Dance and leaving early to get my kids to Scout Camp. All in all it was a great time. I have really enjoyed the Filed Trips with my Friends.

Upper Silver Lake Hike...Has been moved to June 29th

Sorry but the Hike is called off once again for tonight. The rain has made a muddy mess up there. The Hike is officially changed to Next Monday Night June 29th. Meet at my house at 5pm. We will leave sharply at 5:15 pm.

The hike is 4 miles round trip. Dirt path trail. There is no water on the hike. You will need a water bottle and a lite pack if you are planning on eating dinner up at the lake.

The fishing is good at Upper Silver Lake right now. So bring a pole if you would like to fish.

The rain looks like it should be over now. I think that we should be able to get our hike on next week. See ya at the top!

There has been 3 post today so read all before you leave the site.

Sticky Shoe Movie

The Sticky Shoe Matinee this week is "Over the Hedge" I will be going to the show on Thursday this week. Hope to see you all there. Remember the Show starts at 11:00 am. Be there by 10:45 to get a good seat and your popcorn. The line gets long fast.

Manti Over Nighter.

I am sorry but the Manti Over Nighter Field Trip is full. We will have more over nighters to come. I hope that everyone has a great week. See ya at the Movies if not before.

Manti Over Nighter

The Manti over nighter is coming up this next week. I am so very excited. It has been a few years since I have gone to the Pageant. We need to get a count as to how many people are going with us. We need to hand out food assignments.

The place we are staying at is in a gated community. This means you have to have a card to get in and we only have one card. The cabin is at the top of the Mountain so coming down to let people in is not easy. We plan on leaving right after lunch at 12:30. It has about a hour and 15 minutes to get there.

We will eat dinner at the cabin then go down to the pageant. You will sign up for a food assignment for what to bring. We will BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone will bring there own meat. You will need to sign up for toppings, a salad, chips, paper products, buns, or drinks. We will have pancakes and sausage for breakfast. You will also need to bring your own meat. We will have you sign up for pancake mix, syrup, butter, paper products, milk, and juice.Due to the fact that we have several boys and girls. We are going to have boys sleep upstairs and girls down stairs. There will not be showers in the morning as there is not enough water for all of us to shower. We are using someone elses cabin and we need to be respectful, and treat there home with our very best manners we have. Please remember that we are guest and should act as so while at their cabin.

Please sign in the comments section below if you are going to be coming and how many are in your party and if you can leave at the time posted above. We need to know as soon as possible.

Remember to look at other post as there could be a few at a timethat need your response too. Thanks

Sticky Shoe Movie of the Week is Lassie

Lassie is the movie this week. What day is everyone planning on going? I have 1 extra ticket this week for any takers? If you are not going to use your tickets and want to share you can post it here also.
Remember to look at all post on here. There will be a few post at a time here for the weeks activities. I will be posting the Manti Pageant here soon too. We are going to need a count on who is going soon. I will list the details soon. And you can respond then.
