Utah Flash 2009!!!!

The kids had the day off from school yesterday (teacher work day). We had fun going to Ikea and then Morgan and Micah went to a friends house to play for a couple of hours and then we went to the Flash game that night. The Utah Flash (which is the developmental basketball team for the Jazz and Celtics) came and gave the kids incentive of game tickets for their Read-a-thon this year to help them reach their goal. Randy took a couple of hours off of work and joined us, or else the kids probably wouldn't have gone. I refuse to take them to public places by myself (at least all of them at the same time). The kids had a blast due to the fact that I bought them popcorn and we sat by some good friends from the ward/school. Actually the mom, Michelle, is the one who was in charge of the Read-a-thon this year. They have 4 kids also and 2 girls that are the same ages as McKenzie and Morgan.

Like father like son. Malia loves popcorn, she kept going from one box to the other to get more. Also during the game she decided the row was a fun place to run up and down. So Randy and I were at one end the Gleed's were at the other, and she had a blast. At this point the girls decided to walk around and jump on the bouncy house the Flash had set up.
Morgan and McKenna enjoying the popcorn. They are like 2 peas in a pod. Michelle is in the background of the pic. She's awesome.
McKenzie and Lauren also enjoying popcorn. The only thing I have to say is, if you want your kids to sit still long enough for you to enjoy anything, you have to distract them with food and/or friends.
Me and my boy. When we first got there he kept saying he wanted to go home, then the popcorn came, then he found the bouncy house, then he decided he wanted to stay.
