The boys have been going to R.A.D. kids all week. Dan, Jason and Kyle were teaching Layton Elementary School this week. So we decided to let the boys sign up because Parker and Ethan are finally old enough to take the class. The class was taught at Central Davis Junior High School. The boys had fun in the class and were able to learn different skills to defend themselves from a stranger or someone that was trying to talk with them that they didn't know. They were told to pick a security code, learn their address, practice dialing 911 from the home phone and all cell phones they might use. They were asked to review the fire plan at home. They also got to practice the skills they were taught on Thursday. Dan put on the red man suit. It is a padded suit(it looks like a transformer with pads). Dan tries to capture each kid and they have to use the skills they have been taught to try and escape. The kids all enjoy the class. I missed the final day because Britton had his first soccer tournament. Amy filmed the scenarios for me, and Britton went to the afternoon class so he could do his. Brittons tournament was fun to watch. He played good. The final score was a tie.
Tonight we decided to race the boats at the creek. The water level is pretty low but there was enough water to race. The kids had fun playing in the water and ended up wet from head to toe. Brynlee liked racing the boats the most. She loved watching her boat go fast and then trying to catch it before it went into the tunnel. Abby's favorite part was catching bugs in the creek. She was so excited each time she would catch a water skeeter. The boys were laying in the water and throwing the boats out of the tunnel. Bryson was the best bug catcher with Parker right next to him. Britton liked trying to catch the bugs but if he really did catch one he would quickly get rid of it. I love that we live so close to the creek.
