Primary Activity Fun

The Primary activity was a great success. To fill in for those who don't know: Primary is the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for kids age 3 to 12. It is two hours long every Sunday with one hour being taught in a classroom setting with a small class and the second hour combined to learn through singing time and sharing time. This activity was so much fun. I think the Primary Presidency (old and new) did a fantastic job planning activities that all the ages could participate and enjoy themselves. It was so fun to see the kids interacting with each other and having a blast.

The activity started out right with a prayer and yummy snacks.


There was a lot of water balloon fun. Uncle Aaron had lots of water balloons being thrown at him and even hit up, but none of them popped. Those Tonga girls can throw! Thanks for being a good sport Uncle Aaron. I loved seeing the two anime girls running around. Sarah and Drew were collecting water balloons and running back to the tree in a relay race.


The kids ran through the sprinkler around the pole of the swings and back in a relay race. I love the pictures of Elijah and Drew tagging in to let the next person go. Seth was obsessed that all the grass was prickly so Auntie Ashley helped him run back in. Sarah makes that water look COLD! When all the water balloons were gone Auntie Elizabeth, Erin, and Ashley couldn't get enough. The picture in bottom left is William showing all the kids his grasshopper. Nice find!


This was so fun! The relay race that involved popping water balloons by sitting on them was so funny. Here are Seth, Elijah, Drew, and Brylie in action. The picture right before Brylie popped her thumb in her mouth she looked like she was trying so hard. Too bad I couldn't find room for it, because the sequence was soo funny.
