Day 2 Pirates of Bear Lake 4th July

The kids could hardly wait this morning to start the day. They awoke and quickly put on their pirate shirts waiting for the other kids to wake up.

Activities for the day consisted of;

-Decorating Patriotic cupcakes for the kids and My sister and I cakes

-Puzzle competition

-Coloring pictures of pirates

-Nature hike/learning names of trees

-4th July Activity- Quizzes Game Show to earn Patriotic Bracelets with Jibbitz

-Snow cones

-Pickleville Playhouse This year was “Chuck Wagon’s Wild West Show-down.” It was great this year, the story: Two groups crossing the plains on the way to California, converge on the tiny town of Busted Knee (population of 4.) It had the funniest villain which made the play, Latino Villain, Juanito Bandito. Savannah and Riley insisted on getting a picture.

Before the start of the show, Payton wanted to dance to the music on the stage. The older kids thought it was pretty funny.

Treasure chest was used for the time out chair. Payton was the first to sit on it since he decided to bite Ella.

Payton is our sweet little boy that has tugged on our heart strings and made our faith grow strong. Payton was a happy normal 2 year old little boy old when he started running a low grade fever, which eventually lead to the discovery that he had a rare kidney tumor (Wilm's Tumor) on June 1st, 2007. Payton was diagnosed as stage 2, unfavorable histology (diffuse anaplasia) in his right kidney. He has undergone a radical nephrectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. At Payton’s 2 year after treatment checkup they found a growth on his liver. We were extremely scared. Payton underwent another major 10 hour surgery in April of 2010. We were so relieved to find out that the spot was benign. The spot was an iron deposit left over from his multiple transfusions. What a relief and blessing.

Payton is doing great and will continue to have scans every 3 months for the next 3 years. We are staying very optimistic and love our little boy more than words can say. Payton has been a brave and courageous trooper through all of this. We are constantly reminded every time we look at him what a little miracle and true blessing he is to our family. We are so grateful that he is a part of our lives.
