Chilly Weekend

We got to spend Friday night with friends at a high school football game. It was supposed to be cooling off that weekend, so the day before we hit some sales to get Bergen pants that were actually as long as pants are supposed to be and a few warm tops. It was well worth it because we needed that plus more. The game itself wasn't very good and it was super windy and cold, but we had fun being out with friends doing something outdoors. Bergen also love the popcorn that was shared with him!
Little bit bigger than my high school games :)
Saturday was another chilly day. We went to Home Depot for the fire truck workshop to find out they were doing something at the fire station instead. We had some time before the next event of our day started so we decided to check it out. So glad we did too! It was like a fire station festival. Complete with lots of free trinkets and lunch. We somehow left Bergen's sweatshirt at home but we took in all the activities we could before being too cold and needing to go.
One advantage of the cold that day was that there wasn't a ton of people at the event, there was lots, just not overcrowded. So much so that Bergen got this train ride to himself! At the end of the day he said riding the train was his favorite thing for the day.

We also got to see a demonstration with the jaws of life. Piece by piece this crashed car was cut apart.
And the final activity (the one we were actually planning on doing that day) was going to the park to watch the nearby air show. Turns out we really were still too far away to see much but these planes did fly directly over our heads once.
Yes, several hours before we had our free hamburgers at the fire station, but who can turn down free hot dogs? The park also had lunch so Travis and I did eat a hot dog, but Bergen was fine with just some fruit snacks.


The best part for Bergen though was the bounce houses. Can you see Bergen and Travis standing in line?

It was a fun hour, but by then the cold had really settled in and it was time to go. It was fun to watch them race back to me, both laughing the whole way.
Once we got home and warmed up we started watching our recorded sessions of general conference. I had cut out and laminated this board of chairs, the podium, and a picture of each of the apostles. When any of them spoke Bergen put their picture on the podium, and when they were done he put their picture back on their chair. He enjoyed doing it and it is helping him to learn the apostle's names. Although, he keeps saying Elder Bednar looks like his daddy. They kind of have the same head shape I guess...kind of funny.

What did you do to get the pictures to stay on the charts? Ours just laid on top of the charts and got messed up every time it got bumped.
I bet my boys would like seeing the jaws of life demonstration!
I am thinking this HS game you went to looks about like USU games when I was there and they weren't very good.

Good ol' fashioned sticky tack on the pictures. We use it for lots of things!
