Six.Three

 6.3 Years

• End of the year is always full of fun activities: dance recitals, rocking through the decades music concert dressed up like 80's, field trip to the farm, movie days, and field day.
• For Mother's day, we got to go on our first hike of the season. The weather was great for Red River Rapid Canyon. Lots of hiking sticks were found, some moss might have been used as a wig, and a head dunk in the river was needed at the end. 
• So we have to share about the time that Maggie pranked you with Ghost. We had just watched the Ivy and Bean movie about the Ghost that had to Go. You were down stairs playing with JoJ oand your friend. Suddenly, there was a ghost sound coming through the Alexa. Then a note got delivered under your door saying Maggie was gone. You girls ran upstairs to try to find her, but she was nowhere. JoJo got so scared. The drawers in her bathroom started to shake. That is when you all ran to me and JoJo started crying that a ghost took your sister. Dang Maggie was pranking you girls but JoJo really thought it was a ghost. You had to put a ghost-be-gone potion on your Alexa, but it didn't work because a few weeks later, that same dang ghost came back to haunt you. 
• You have really enjoyed reading Ivy and Bean together. Netflix had the first three books into movies. You will read one book in a week or two, then watch the movie all together. I love hearing you laugh while we read.
• We made a fast rip to Utah for Dad's medical conference. We got to go to the Tree House Museum, visit DI, eat McDonalds at the park with Grandma, and celebrate Grandma and Papa's 50th anniversary with a big party with all the family. You kids stayed up way past dark playing night games. It was a great time
• Quick trip to Oregon for the Daddy Daughter camping trip. This year you guys went to Florence and camped at a State Park. The weather was cooler, but you Idaho girls didn't let that stop you from jumping in the lake. One of the highlights was riding in the school bus size dune buggy on the sand dunes. This was the last year that all the girl cousins were together because Kaylana was leaving from her mission the day she got back from the trip.
