Francom Family Fun Leftovers

So...here are a few of the leftovers. Not enough for a post of their own but still a favorite. Tomorrow I will add some of the pictures from my memo pad.

CHICK FIL A!!! Although Jacob thought that Culivers had better chicken! Might have to switch to Zaxby's next year.

 The wedding. I think Greg and Alan's baby feel the same way about this picture. At least Alan is acting handsome.

 Uncle Doug quickly became Kate's best friend I guess she knows how to pick them. WE LOVE OUR UNCLE DOUG!!!!

 We also know how to wear out little girls after letting them watch the pretty princess (bride) show off her pretty dress. Kate wants to get married in the temple and wear a dress just like Jenny...but not the necklace. Funny girl.

 The train was our final stop before heading home.

 Kate slept a lot of the drive home. It was over 16 hours thanks to sturgis.

 Actually the Sturgis Rally was very entertaining this year. Somehow we ended up in the middle of the rally. The police were stopping traffic and blocking roads and we just kept going with all the motorcycles in our nice purple van. Pretty funny stuff. If you look closely the motorcycle nearest the car has a teddy bear strapped to the back.

After our long drive home we realized how blessed we were to make it without car trouble. The next morning when I went to get milk for breakfast we discovered the radiator had a crack in it and was spewing fluid. Thank you for all the prayers for safety. We love you all!

Fantabulous Francom Family Vacation -Part 7 -Boating on Deer Creek

I haven't been boating since my high school days. It was a blast. So fun to spend some time with each family separately on this trip. This was our Angie and Ryan day. I was reminded how sweet my sister in law is. All of them really. I have good family friends on every side and I love you all!
Wake boarding was first...Greg almost made it up. A few more tries and he would have made it...but...he liked having his arms connected to his body so he didn't continue trying.

 Us Boaties got to watch the real pros show off! Ryan, Conner and Ayzha were amazing. They made it look like it was the easiest thing in the world. Ayzha's picture is below.

 Cute little boaties.

 Ryan gave Jacob a chance to drive. He was a careful and cautious driver.

 AYZHA

 Katherine was a crazy driver. She was turning the wheel just like she does when driving a car cart in the grocery store. She kept Ryan on his toes.

 Big Red...speaks for itself..

 If you can zoom in and see the fear in Kate's eyes! She screamed almost as loud as she did on the zipline.

What a fantastic day. Beautiful, warm and great company.

The Francom Family Fabulously Fun Vacation 2015 - Part 6- Playing at Grandma's House

Each night we had our own little HUGE party at Grandma & Grandpa Francoms. So many friends, cousins, loved ones everywhere. The star of the show was Felicity. Such a beautiful sweet baby.

 One of my favorite nights was when the kids put on a circus for us.

 Somehow it seemed Kate was in every act.

 At the end the kids announced that all the adults would dance. Love Angie and Greg in the middle. So silly.

 Dinner. The food was always Great. Sabrina's face was even better!

 Kate announced one night that she wanted to sit by Great Grandma. She then saved her a place and would yell at anyone who tried to sit there. I think Grandma enjoyed it. At one point Grandma said that she had forgotten her corn. She jumped out of her seat, ran to Grandpa Francom and told him that Great Grandma needed some corn.

 CUTENESS!

 Grandma brought all these great coloring books for the kids to color in. We had a lot of fun with her.

 Uncle Pappy.

 Game night. Every night...or almost. Here we taught the kids to lie and deceived them too...oh boy..

The Fun Francom Family Vacation 2015 - Part 5- The Museum of Natural Curiosity

Curiosity is such a weird word. If you have noticed each post has a different name..guess I cannot be consistent with the name title I chose for our vacation. So just go with it. It is curious. Back to Curiosity.  I love this museum and all it offers the children. This was the first activity we did with the francom family and it was a blast. I was so tired I could hardly stay awake. We always start at the ropes. Everyone's favorite.

 This year Kate was my buddy...so almost all the pictures are of her. We attempted the ropes course and had a good time until some boys decided to start swinging it while she was walking. Kate just refused to move after that. I had to tell the boys if they ever wanted to get across the ropes they would have to hold still or Kate would just block the path forever. They did. Eventually they got kicked out of the museum for bad behavior...so I guess they just kept on finding trouble.

 Clara was a sloth. She let go after 4 minutes but I think she could have stayed there forever.

 My dancing girl. This was one of her favorite rooms. The mirror reflected a picture of a dance teacher and she loved mimicking her moves.

 I was also privileged to the cutest puppet show. Just wish I could have heard the words.

 Here we are getting to know Aunt B. again. Aunt B. Is magical with kids!

 Dancing with the cousins. Kate loved the stage. She wouldn't leave. She just stood there like this while all the other children danced around her.

 Ayzha was hilarious in her butterfly costume but honestly Conner took the cake with his hilarious poses.

 Twirly Whirly Gigs.

 Kate and the zipline. I didn't know Kate could scream but...oh...boy...can...she...scream. I don't think she will get on a zipline again soon. Hilarious. Zoom in and look at her face. Pure TERROR.

 Sabrina bouncing her way back up.

Fantastic Francom Family Summer Vacation 2015- Part 4 Party with Grandpa Day

Last year we started a new family tradition...my favorite one...a yearly summer party at Grandpa Day's house. It is such a great way for my kids to get to know their great grandparents.

Swing Time!

 Great Food!

 Sabrina won the kids that dared to in a plank contest. Kris thought for sure he would beat her but she won! It was a huge victory for Sabrina.

 Kris then challenged her to an arm wrestle. It lasted a long time. Sabrina and Kris were both shaking before it ended. Kris won.

 Too much competition and this little girl ends up in tears. She tried so hard she has a sore arm the next day!

 Momma Loves

 Greg was able to beat Kris ... at least I think so!

 Loving us some Grandpa Day!

 Momma and I. Love her so much!

 Me and the girls

 THE NINJA!!!

 My look a lot a like bro.

 Best selfie ever!

 After dinner and dessert mom put the younger men in charge of a sing a long song.

 Look at Emily! She is a babe.

 The song ended with Grandpa throwing out candy to all the kids. He was true to his name of the candy man.

 Somehow Jacob ended up with the jack pot!

 On the way home we stopped to visit my Sister and Brother In Laws grave. I needed to take the kids to see her. Ten years this month.
