Weekend Fun

After the soccer games on Saturday, we had a busy afternoon and evening full of fun activities. First, we headed to Everett to attend a birthday party at an indoor pool. I opted out of swimming, but the boys and Peter joined in on the fun. The main attraction was the huge inflatable that was floating on the pool. All the kids and adults had fun racing one another. At the last half hour of the pool party, the lifeguards put away the inflatable and opened up the rope swing. After swimming was over, everyone changed out of their wet suits and headed over to the park across the way for cake and presents.

Cool cake for the birthday boy!

After their friend Noah opened his gift from the boys, we had to leave and make our way to Stalker Farms to attend their 3rd annual free outdoor (scary) movie.  We'd never been before, so I had no idea what to expect. It was advertised first-come first-serve, so we made sure to arrive early to guarantee ourselves decent seating. Peter and I first decided on sitting on a bench in the front row and had the boys lay on a blanket in the grass right in front of us. We brought some sub sandwiches to eat for our dinner to munch on, as well as some candy, much to the boys delight. Right before the movie started, Peter and I decided to lay down and cuddle with the boys on the blanket (this was mainly due to the people who decided to sit right behind us, who were loud and obnoxious). This years movie was Trick 'r Treat. Peter and I had already seen this movie before on Netflix, though we couldn't recall if the boys had as well. Come to find out they hadn't. The movie itself wasn't overly scary or graphic, but the plot line had a fun twist to it. We had so much fun going to this, plus add in that it was free to attend. If Stalker Farms continues to do this every year, I think we'll add this to our list of yearly Halloween family activities.
