Ward Party at Paulson's Barn

Last Saturday our ward had it's annual party at the property owned by a generous family--Jane and Fred Paulson. They have created an area full of wonderful activities for their family and friends to enjoy,

The "barn" (large building in the picture above) is where the food is put out on long buffet tables.

There are lots of things to do in a very large park-like setting, Kids wait in line for the merry-go-round (note Spencer, fifth in line waiting his turn), operated by our Primary president in the center.

There are two zip lines, a water slide, bounce house, and hayrides! (a big favorite).

One zip line is for children up to 125 pounds.

The other line will hold over 300 pounds. We have a ninety-year old lady in our ward who has gone down it!

Fred Paulson enjoys giving  the kids turns on the hayride.

There are all kinds of interesting critters around the place. . .

Just kidding!

Little people made music and big people had to try their hands at it too (elders in the background).

Jane Paulson loves flowers, children and animals--they are everywhere!

Life-sized statues are beautiful.

There was even a DJ playing music in the gazebo.

Big Game Country

Spencer, Mason, Paul and RA visited Cabela's store in Olympia, WA. recently. Pretty amazing display of wild animals. Spencer was "game" to getting in the pictures while Mason and Paul looked on.
