Youth Jam

We went to feed the ducks yesterday down by the waterfalls downtown. I had 2 big bags of stale bread that were calling for ducks, geese and seagulls.

 After being attacked by birds of all shapes and sizes and avoiding a few poop bombs we walked down the greenbelt and looked at the falls and watched the speed boat races. Boys were LOVING that!

 Across the river we saw a bunch of white tents and we could hear music blaring. We jumped in the car and drove over the bridge to Nate's work. We parked and walked over to see what was going on. We went over to the information booth and found out that YOUTH JAM was going on. Apparently it is a big art festival for kids of all ages. SCORE! We got our faces painted, made silly glasses, bookmarks and painted and played with a HUGE xylophone! WAY FUN!

The boys were thrilled to get the LAST 3 balloons of the day. But if you notice closely in this photo, Dallin is missing his balloon. Parker accidentally let his slip away. In true Parker fashion he was broken hearted and crying hysterically. Dallin immediately took his balloon off of his wrist and handed it to his brother. Parker embraced Dallin with tears in his eyes and thanked him over and over again. It was a very tender sweet moment. I just love my Dallin....the peacemaker in our family for sure.

Looking forward to the weekend! And GOOD luck to my man over in the STATE TIME TRIAL and to my little brother who is competing in his very first wake board competition!
