George's visit

George is one of our seriously cute nephews on Chuck's side of the family. He's almost exactly two years older than Clyde, putting him at just shy of eight years old, and the two of them are good buddies.  So naturally we were delighted when the possibility came up of George coming to stay with us for a week in June! 

 The first day George was here was a Sunday, so I had to get a picture of all the boys after church. I got to sub as the teacher in George's primary class that day, which was extra fun :).

The main reason for George's visit was so that he could attend a fun science/imagination day camp.  Here are some pictures of his creations at camp and some of the different outfits he wore each day based on the 'theme' for the day.

One day was space/alien day, so we turned him into an 'orange alien' - coinciding with the color of his group at camp. Thanks to Grandma Izatt for giving me the orange hair color spray a few months ago; now we know it works!!

The boys got lots of video game time in after George came home from camp each day (and sometimes beforehand!).  They alternated between Kinect games, NCAA football, and Lego Star Wars.

More good times - playing catch, playing board games, window shopping in the toy aisle at the store :).

It wasn't all fun and games though; we put the boys to work washing the van...

which turned into a water fight.  Maybe it was all fun and games!

On Thursday night I had Pack Meeting for Scouts, so George tagged along and represented his family by making a family flag.  Then we all changed into our red 49ers shirts to go support Chuck and the rest of Nampa 2nd Ward in their softball game!

George was a great fourth son for the week - sweet, helpful, fun, cute.  He loved baby Jack and was always there to help him or play with him :).

I miss you smoothie buddy! Come back and stay with us again - next summer maybe??
