Party!!!

On May 31st my work threw it's annual summer party. Jer and I decided to go and check it out, sounded like it could be a good way to kill an afternoon. We didn't expect to stay long though, just long enough to eat lunch and to get our share of the free cotton candy and snow cones. :) Turns out L-3 can throw a pretty fun party. We stayed from noon until it ended just after 3. Which meant that we had a good time, but also meant we got some pretty good tan lines. Okay, burn lines.

After we got home from the party I drove up to Layton to help Blake and Monica move into their new house, Jer was worn out so she stayed home with the puppies. Talk about a long day! I think I got home some time after 10 that night. It was fun though. On Sunday we ended up going over to my parent's place for dinner, and you can see that all the activities from the day before finally caught up with me...

Here's a shot of the Shark slide, that I was really tempted to go on! They had all kinds of slides there, and games to play. Oh, and face painting. Unfortunately, every time I wanted to have my face done there were too many kids having it done.

Me and my lunch, the pulled pork sandwich was tasty. As was my Coke.

Jer fixing her snow cone. They gave us a cup of shaved ice and then we got to put on the flavoring at one of these little stations. Sadly, when we came back for more at the end of the party it was closed! Next year we are making sure to get our fill of snow cones.

We decided to try out some of the carnival games they had set up. For this one Jer is trying to get the ball to land in the middle of the board. She missed but got a sucker for her efforts.

This game was apparently the big game of the day, it took us forever to get through the line to play! You roll 6 balls and try to get your score to be either over 30 or under 11. I was this close to getting Jer a stuffed animal, guess we'll have to go to Lagoon for that.

At 2 they had a show for us of Polynesian dancers (that was the theme of the party). It was a good show and we got to see a bunch of different types of dances from the islands.

This dance was one of war dances, the Haka. If you look real close you can see the guy sticking out his tongue and trying to look scary. It's the same type of dance the BYU football players do before they start a game.

Blue dart! Okay, not really but I thought this was a funny shot of the guy doing his fire baton dance.

And finally, me curled up on the little couch at my parent's house after dinner the next day.
