Our summer fun wasn't over after Powell!
My brother played the lead in a local production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He was awesome! His wife Renae came to support him at his audition, and they talked her into auditioning too! The world of musical theater is pretty foreign to her but she rocked as the mom of the gum-chewer (Violet Beauregard, I think?) We took the kids with us and besides one loud outburst from Benson, they were great audience members. Cassie loved it! My cousin was there with a date too, so we all got a picture together.
Cassie and her friend Ashlyn at the ward barbeque with their matching face paints:
One of our neighbors organized an awesome neighborhood 24th of July party, complete with face painting (or hand painting, if you're Benson), bike decorating and parade, shaved ice, cotton candy, bounce house, food, music, and fireworks. So much fun!
Cassie came with me to a bridal shower for two of my cousins, and another cousin brought her baby twin girls to the shower. Cassie was absolutely enamored with them. It was so sweet! I have a feeling she will adore her new baby brother or sister!
When Grandma and Grandpa H came for a visit, Grandma planned a treasure hunt for Cassie. Grandpa helped Cassie read the clues, which she found around the house.
Finding a clue in the tomato plant
The treasure at the end was raspberries from Grandma's garden, a little drawing pad, some balloons, and Benson's precious Thomas the train hat, which he had left at Grandma's. Benson woke up from his nap just in time to help Cassie find the treasure under her bed.
And, some pictures of what we did almost every day during the summer: riding bikes/cars/tricycles
