Theif!!! Theif!!!

I think that many of you have heard that some scoundrel stole our trampoline mat and springs!  Who does that!?!?  Here is the story.  One day we came home from running some errands and 14 trampoline springs are missing.  Ok this is strange.  Did someone decide that they wanted to decorate their house with 14 trampoline springs?  So my mom looks on craigslist and finds a free trampoline frame and springs and we had to take it all.  So now we have a extra trampoline frame.  No biggie.  There is a scrap metal dude that will come pick it up for freeeee!  When he comes by to pick it up it is gone?  What?  So now people or doing interior decorating with trampoline frames?  Haven't seen this on pinterest.  So we were telling the missionaries how the frame had vanished and we joked that someone was going to wake up with a missing trampoline mat.  Well . . .  the next morning our trampoline mat and the springs were gone.

 Since you stole two innocent little boys trampoline please  steal the rest of it.  You have no honor.  Heee Hee Hee!  That is right we will guilt trip you till you die!  Bwahahaha bwahahahaha!

This and That

Even though there is sooo much to blog about I don't like reading or writing long blog posts so this probably won't be that long.  This past week and a half has been CRAZY!  Zak went to boundary waters,  I went to girls camp, and Ella went to the hospital!  Don't worry Ella is fine.  Her kidneys were being lazy so the doctors freaked out and we admitted her to the hospital they monitored her for a couple days and then sent her home with her kidneys ready to stop being a little less like a lazy bum.  Zak had a great time at boundary waters he didn't lose any body parts.  He got to catch fish and eat the fish he caught, camp, be in nature, and have fun!  Girls camp was great.  Geoff had fun while Ella was in the hospital he got to live his dream life bowling, playing video games, and watching movies!  What could a seven year old boy enjoy more?  Tuesday night at 2:30 we Mom woke us up and drove us 30 minutes away from the cities to watch a meteor shower! It was fun!  Then we went and got doughnuts!

Roughin It . . . Not!

This weekend we went to our friend's cabin.  By cabin I mean a sunroom and a trailer.  It was so much fun! We went swimming twice!  There was also an arcade and is there any better place for a Foutz to be than an arcade?  Out of the claw machines we got five balls, two fuzzy dice, and three stuffed animals.  So Dave and Catherine (that is our friend.) also have a older nintendo and mario and if you know my mom and dad you should know that they like mario.  And of course they have a tv.  

 We also went mini golfing.  It was a hard course!

 And to top it off there was a luo.  What a trip!

IT'S OVER!!!

When I say It's over I don't mean the world but, law school this and bar that is!  The bar is over! yay!  No more studying till 9 for dad!  We are so proud of him!!!! Yay!!!

Pool Day!!!!

You might think that since we live in the land of over 10000 lakes, and a winter that goes below zero that people might not build outdoor public pools.  Well if you thought that, you are wrong!  Lakes are great fun but, it is nice to go swimming in clean water!  And that is exactly what we did today it was sooo much fun!  We went with our birding friend Rebecca and her 5 kids.  There was a lazy river.  How can you ever go wrong in a lazy river?  This pool is so cool!  There was a Zipline!  I have a video of  Zak and Geoff doing it!

We are so proud of Geoff!

We took a lot of pictures at the pool so there will be a 1000 pictures in this post.

Geoffrey loves his brother so much!

Me and my wonderful mom relaxin'!

This is the rock climbing wall.  You climb as high as you can or want then jump in!

Geoff jumping off the diving board!!!

 . . .

Now isi there any better way to end a day than with a great dinner? What is a better dinner that some delicious cone of ice cream?!?  Nice and messy ice cream.

Yum!

Ella love her daddy so much!

It was such a fun day!

Fossil Hunting!!!

Today's adventure was fossil hunting!! We were going to go to Minnehaha falls today but, considering that the warmest it got today was 70 degrees we reconsidered and went fossil hunting which we were going to do later in the week.  We went with our friends the Seldens. We went fossil hunting at Shadow falls this is first time we have gone there.  There was sooo many fossils!  The falls were teeny tiny.  It was fun, even though Ella cried the whole time.  At the entrance to the trail there was also this monument to the those who fought in the "World War" it didn't say which world war.  It was this tall granite poll with a granite cross on the top.  It was really quite tall and slightly random and really cool.

 Rocks!! I mean fossils.

 And more and more and more!!

It was such a fun day!

Minnehaha Falls

So I decided to do a backtrack pos to May 2014 when we went to minnehaha falls frozen.  When we uploaded the pictures off my mom's phone today I decided to post the pictures.

Behind the falls in some places it was slippery and so you could slide down a sheet of icd but, it was hard to get back up.

Aren't the falls beautiful!

This is from behind the falls looking down at the melting ice below.  We went down and Geoff actually fell through the ice but we pulled up quickly and he was absolutely fine.

Some of the ice behind the falls looked blue it was sooo cool!

 This is my and my LDS homeschool buddy Lydia.

The ice/snow was so high high up on this bench!

I also wanted to say that we had the missionaries over for dinner and Elder Rudd ate 14 rolls! 14!
