Monday Fun

We sure are enjoying the warmer weather. Hema took a group of student fishing today at an urban pond in Sandy (he tries to work fishing into everything he does: work, church callings, play, etc...). So we decided to head up and hang out with him. We packed a picnic lunch and ate and then played on the playground until the students left. Then Hema helped the kids fish.

The playground was really fun and the kids loved that it has a big fish in the middle.

Here are the kids doing a little fishing. Our neighbor, Hema's little buddy Jackston, came with us. The boys didn't catch anything. Probably because the kept throwing rocks into the water.

Cooling off in the shade with some cold drinks. This isn't the best picture, but I love how tan Vela is! She's our little chocolate princess!

We had a fun FHE tonight. Vela insisted that we sing several rounds of "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree." It is so cute how she loves songs that have actions to them right now. Then after the lesson, Little Hema wanted the activity to be a paper airplane contest. So we all made airplanes and then went outside to see who's could go the farthest. It was really fun! It's funny how the littlest things can be so much fun with kids. I think we will definitely do that again.

After FHE we planted our new tree. Hema reinforced the fence again and then threatened the horses that he would eat them if they touched the new tree. They looked pretty freaked out! Ha ha! They should be though, he is pretty sick of replanting that tree and Tongans are known to eat horse!
