Little bit of family time

Over the weekend was a Utah holiday, Pioneer Day. Normally we'd make plans and do something fun but Tyson had to be at drill. Darn it. So last night we had some much needed family time. 
I cooked one of my absolute favorite dishes. Pesto Chicken. As luck would have it my mom had just given me some homemade pesto. 
I know that the raw chicken looks gross but check out the color of that pesto! Had we not been so eager to eat I would have gotten 'after baking' photos where  it shows the melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. So tasty over wild rice! 
Next up? Water balloons! LT loves throwing them. Usually we can't fill them fast enough so I thought we'd give these a try. They're pretty awesome. Granted it's not the kind of thing we'd buy every time but for last night it was perfect. 
Best part about the water balloons? The giggles from LT when a balloon was popped over someone's head. Don't mind the red dripping down his chin.. It's watermelon! I thought it'd be fun to have frozen watermelon sticks for dessert. LT agreed. 

He even carried it around while we checked out the garden for ripe cherry tomatoes. 
By the time all 100 balloons had been successfully popped all three of us were drenched! Luckily a warm bubble bath was up next followed by snuggles, books, a couple episodes of Octonauts (our new obsession) and some singing before falling asleep. 
It always amazing to me how much fun the little things like water balloons are with LT. He is surely our little water boy. 😍
