To start with, I love this picture of us all eating ice cream. It's just so... Us. Monday night is Family Night as we all know. For dinner Joshua made everyone hamburgers. We ate together as a family on the top level of the backyard. It was so gorgeous outside, the sky was such a perfect blue, with a splash of purple. As soon as Maria and I where done with our hamburgers we started to play "HORSE" with a basketball. Maria said I lost, but I disagree... hehe.
After shooting hoops for a while with Maria and Joshua I decided I was in the mood for ping-pong. I played for a couple minutes against Maria and Peter before we went up to the school. My sweet Mother took Peter, Mara, Joshua, Maria, Gabrielle, Emma and I up to Wasatch Elementary School to work on Joshua's Eagle project. I think we got quite a bit done.
After we finished up at the school we walked home and were only there for a few minutes before we all got into the van to drive over to Maceys (the grocery store). They were having their yearly "Retirement of the Flags" type of deal. They had about 8 flags that one by one they set on these two tables and burned. It was nice to be able to go and hear what they had to say. Here is a video, not the best, but this is what I got recorded;After the ceremony Mom took us to get ice cream cones.
Gabrielle asked for a medium sized cone, usually the mediums are given to you in a cup. But they didn't do that with Gabrielle.
She stood for nearly 35 seconds trying to put money back into her wallet. I watched just waiting for her ice cream to fall off the cone in her hand.
After about 7 seconds I warned her it would fall. She seemed to ignore me. Until 42 seconds had passed and her ice cream fell off right when I was going to turn and talk with Joshua.
I saw it in the corner of my eye, and not expecting to catch it, I still stretched my arm out, and to my astonishment my hand was freezing! Chocolate stained my hand with stickiness.
In panic, still in shock of what had just happened, my arm shook as I tried to fit it back onto Gabrielle's cone.
Everyone was laughing, they were so surprised that of all people I, Leah, had caught it. I am still surprised I caught it as well.
After that the night was pretty much over. Just a car ride home, trying to see who could eat their ice cream the fastest. When we got home everyone was just relaxed, watching movies, television, reading, and online. Monday was a good day. I love Family Night.
