While the boys are away the family will play

Nate and his friends went on a Halibut Charter this weekend.  Because of this JulieAnne and I were stuck at home with a total of 8 kids to entertain.  So what is the best thing to do?  Take the kids to the movie.  We went to Bear's Tooth (It's a movie theatre that has taken out every other seat and put a row of tables in the place of that seat.  You then order food pizza, nachos, steak, burrito, whatever and they bring it to your seat after the movie starts.  Awesome right?) and watched Madagascar 3 in 3D.  It was fun.  Natalie didn't go she stayed home and watched JulieAnne's little girl.  Nichole also didn't go she had a tennis match that day. 

Enoch is showing me that his finger is sore.  I had a great time texting people and letting them know what Enoch thought of them. Marissa even thought that I had taught him that.  So what if I taught her kid Boob!  It was an accident!  I would never teach a kid how to flip someone off.

 After the movie we went to Old Navy.  The girls hung out with these kids while they were there.  These kids were great they never ran around.  They stayed right by their parents.  They didn't even make a noise.  I wish Ella was like that sometimes!  After Old Navy we went to the park to play.  By the end of the day everyone was exhausted but had a great time.

 Nate and his friends left for the charter at 4:30 in the morning.  There charter was leaving at 9:15 so they had to leave that early.  Nate had a blast.  He said it is really hard work bringing in a halibut.  He even caught a shark and some cod.  While he was out on the boat he got to see some Killer Whales.

 There was a group of 3 other people from Idaho on the boat.  They all caught the really big Halibut you can see in the picture.  The biggest was 100 lbs.  There is also a 60 and 50 pounder that was caught by that group.  Nate and his friends didn't catch that big of fish.  Nate got back around 12:30 the next morning and was completely pooped.  He woke up in the morning and showed me his raccoon eyes they were pretty funny.  Later that night Nate made us some Halibut for dinner.  It tastes a lot better fresh but still not my favorite food.
