Corry Fun Day!

It has become a tradition that a couple of days before school starts we go and do one last hurrah to end the summer. This usually includes some big activity that the kids choose and out to lunch/dinner. It has become known as "The Corry Fun Day!" This year the kids chose to spend the day at Boondocks.

Rylie really liked the soft play area, the other stuff just wasn't as much fun for her--but she had a good time.

Nate loved being able to drive the race cars, he was a little too short to do the longer track, but maybe next time. He was at least content to be a passenger. We also loved the bumper boats, but somehow never got pictures of that. We went there looking all made up and hair combed, and after the bumper boats we all looked like we did nothing with our selves--Oh well, it was fun.



Here we are doing one of the two miniature golf courses, Ry didn't have too much fun doing this .



AT the end if you make it into the hole, the top of the head shoots out a fire ball. Of course we all had to make it in the hole to see that one (even if it was strategically placed somehow :))

And of course there was laser tag. This was a first for me and Rylie too. I really enjoyed it and the boys really loved it.

Then there was roller ball. I have never heard of it before we went to Boondocks and I think Rylie and I spent an hour doing this. I love bowling and this was a great alternative. As you can see they were little balls and a small lane, but it was lots of fun--perfect for Rylie.

Even Derrek enjoyed playing Roller ball.

Among other things. . . . (kids!)

And me and my oldest! I can't believe he is almost 12. I took a pic of me and Drew, but somehow that got erased (men!)

That time of year!

This year Derrek is finally able to play tackle football and it is intense, but he loves it. He is on the Sky View Bobcats and he got his favorite jersey number "4" We travel anywhere from Logan to Kaysville with this football team and it has actually been quite enjoyable. He plays wide reciever most of the time and really enjoys that position. He and 4 other players are the only ones of 23 kids that have not played tackle football yet so he has lots to prove to his coach. We didn't want him to play until he was able to be a little more aggressive in flag football and gain some skills doing that before going out and putting on "gear" and getting slammed. They practice everyday for two hours then they have games on Saturdays so right now our life is football, but it is fun.

This is the first play of his first real game.(They are playing Roy who they beat 40-o) He was soo nervous and I think his dad was just as nervous. He paced the lines and could not sit still. I think he really enjoys watching his son play. Derrek is not overly aggressive in his playing yet, but he gets a littel better with each practice and each game. This last weekend he made his first touch down and was quite proud of himself.

This picture is especially awesome. The little #18 standing next to Derrek (#4) is Tanner Remund. He is the son of Billy Chris, a really good friend that Drew grew up with, who died about 5 years ago. Drew and Billy Chris grew up playing football together (in Heber) and it is quite ironic that their 2 sons would end up in Logan on the same football team. So we thought this picture of the two of them standing next to each other was really special. Drew can't help but watch Tanner, he says that some of his mannerisms are so much like his dads that he just sees Billy Chris on the field.
