Broyles Reunion

-

On Sunday morning we all went to church with Nana and Papa.  Finn and Sam both attended children's church.  Finn was shocked and appalled to learn that he had been sent home with with homework.  It was a bulletin that had had an activity on it that he could complete at home.  Nana convinced him that it was homework.  Everyone in the balcony could hear Finn's dismay.


After church we got ready to go to the annual Broyles reunion.  





Finn took all the pictures to this point.  He loves taking pictures.  I usually let him take pictures with my IPhone.  But he has learned to use my good camera and took the pictures above with the good one. 





I took these pictures of Finn taking pictures.  He looks so grown up holding that camera.  He walked around all day at the cave (yesterday) taking pictures. 

Anyway, we left Manchester around 11:30 to head up to the mountain. Nana rode with us and can attest that Finn and Sam argued and fussed the entire way. 

When we got there our first stop was to the outhouse so that Sam could use the bathroom.  He was not a fan of the outhouse - and really, who can blame him.  He looked in the hole and immediately saw a spider.  At that point he refused to let me put him on the potty.  He finally agreed to stand on either side of bowl - fair enough.

Finn and Papa played horseshoes most of the day. 


Sam spent a lot of time on the swing.

It was a great day - but it was really chilly.

Once we got home, Finn and Sam played with Ella and Addison while Michael, Brandon, and Uncle James watched the Titan's game.  I made cookies for our Sunday School Class. 

Speaking of our class, we took this picture last night since we were all there (for the first time all summer)!

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
