Rainy Day Croquet (April 13)

Spring this year has been really cold and wet! Today was no exception. There were huge thunderstorms lurking around Utah county. While I was out running errands I took this picture of the valley:


Friendly skies, huh?

So there have been quite a few days that we have been stuck inside, watching as the rain comes down.

So this means that we have to find some fun things to do to keep these handsome boys busy!


Luckily Grandma Devereaux has sent us some fun things to play with. On this particular day we decided to play croquet inside with the fun set that we have.

Both of the boys thought that using the mallets to hit the balls around was pretty fun. The concept of taking turns was a little hard for Ephraim, but he got the hang of it after a little while.

I think that next time we will have to play downstairs, where the carpet is not so thick. Jacob and Ephraim had a hard time getting the balls rolling, but they sure had fun trying! Jacob got pretty good and could even get his ball to roll through the gate sometimes.


Before long it got to be naptime. You can always tell when naptimes comes at our house because a certain little person starts to look an awful lot like this:


While Ephraim was napping I went outside and took some picture of my pretty, wet flowers. Not too shabby, huh?
