Cabin Fun

It's not summer without going to the cabin, so we were glad to be invited up with Jeff's family. We had a fun-filled three days of 4-wheeling, eating, hiking, eating, and sitting by the fire - did I mention eating. The kids love the cabin because there are so many treats to enjoy. They also love just hanging out and playing. We were especially happy to have Julie there visiting. She became an instant pal for Carter, who apparently likes her hair as much as mine. It was nice having a break for a few days. The kids also love to wear Grandpa's goggles so much, that I have very few pictures of them without goggles on. We all had a lot of fun and were grateful for the invitation.

July 4th again with the Kollers

On July 5th we celebrated Independence day again by going to the Provo Parade. This was always a tradition for my family when I was a kid, so I was excited. The parade was cool, but because it has grown so big, the kids didn't get a lot of candy. Apparently that is what a kid looks for in a parade. They did like the big balloons, bands, and BYU float though. Afterwards we had lunch with my parents, and then did more sparklers at our house at night. I do have to say that the neighborhood fireworks are pretty weak compared to Kansas. It was like being in a war zone for three days there with all of the fireworks people shot off.

July 4th with the Blairs

On the 3rd of July we celebrated Independence Day in Kaysville. We went to a fun parade where the kids got lots of candy and other things. Taylor was most excited about getting a tie thrown at him from the Missionary Mall float. He wears it almost every Sunday now. Unfortunately my camera battery died before the parade, but I did get pictures of swimming in the afternoon, and then the fireworks at night. We were tired at the end of the day, but we had a lot of fun.




Poor little Carter got attacked by a mosquito, so he looks like he has a swollen eye at the fireworks.
