24th of July

For the 24th, like always, we headed to Fairview for the day! We enjoyed the parade, then went to Aunt Janet's for a yummy barbecue! It was so fun to visit with all my cousins that we don't get to see very often, while the kids went crazy in the water, hitting a pinata, & just being crazy kids! On our way home, we decided to take the kids to the famous Fairview museum to see the mammoth!! They thought it was awesome!! It's always fun for me to revisit, and see some of my families items in there. My Aunt Sandra has many paintings, and my Uncle Karl has some rock collections. Such great history!

Enjoying the parade...my mom was covering Sadie's ears because the fire engines were going like crazy. she didn't seem to mind, though.

Just having fun outside. This is Sadie with my cousin, Jill's baby, Reagan. She was born in December.

Some of Uncle Karl's rocks.

The famous Mammoth!!! Logan wanted to show me the "real thing".

Just a couple of the many paintings by my Aunt Sandra


After all the Fairview craziness, we then drove back to Hobble Creek canyon to spend the night with our friends, Morgan, Robyn, & family. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Logan & Austin were so excited to sleep in the tent! This is them with thier new found friend, Austin. They were 3 peas in a pod!

Sadie was so stinking tired the whole day!!! She hadn't had a nap all day, other than about 15 minutes in the van, on our way home from Fairview, but she was an angel!!! This blanket she is holding, is the only one she will sleep with, and when I was setting up the beds, she spotted it, and completely freaked out for it. When she got a hold of it, she was so happy, & wrapped herself up in it. Thanks Grandma Mower for making it for her!!!

Just enjoying the fire, and some good times with some great friends!

This is what happened about 2 minutes after pulling away from the campsite!! They were exhausted!!! It was, by far, one of my favorite weekends spent with my family!!!!
