Summer Fun: Family Party

When Kenna found out that all of our family was in town she graciously invited everyone to a party at her house. It was fun to see everyone else and watch all of the kids run around.  Megan got the idea to hurry and snap a picture of all of the kids so we could update Ernie and Carmen's grand kid wall. It was like a tornado trying to get all of those kids faces wiped off and smiling for a picture before the sun set. I am pretty sure that the single wipe used to wipe everyones' face was rather dark by the 13th kid! And it may have been putting food back onto their faces instead of taking it off!!

Summer Fun: Sand Mountain

We had yet another fabulous adventure out at Sand mountain! Six was the perfect time to arrive and we all started up the mountain only moments after arriving. Most of the family walked up, a few little kids got rides part way up, and the big boys rode to the top.
After riding around and playing in the sand we ran down the hill to enjoy our {ketchup less} hot dogs, yellow watermelon, and chips.
We had several friends come out with us and Donny continued the rides on his 5 seat rzr after the sun went down. It was a lot of fun and the kids were very worn out and happy!

 Sawyer was really unhappy when I got to the top. He had been waiting up there for a long time and wanted another four wheeler ride.

Cooper

 All of the kids sat up at the top and enjoyed the scenery. It was fun to watch them all take it in.

I caught Aurora singing while looking out over the back side of mountain. It is breath taking!

Becky

It was a milestone for Sawyer. He ran all the way down the mountain and back to camp. He was very tired and thirsty at the end. I had to distract him by asking him to do animal noises and saying names/words.

Summer Fun: Breakfast With Cousins

We loved having all of these little ones running around! It was a blast every minute of the day!
