the last day!!!

Thanks to more cold weather,
we didn't have our annual water party...
we skipped it last year too...
who knows?
if we continue to have 8 month winters,
we may never have another
last day of school water celebration...
INSTEAD
we took the cousins to Thanksgiving Point
which is our second favorite place...
Complete entertainment for all ages
for at full 2 hours...perfect!

in the MAZE

Laityn...being Laityn

bear tunnels
wet and slippery this year....
crazy rainy weather!

this shot is so deceiving!
Carter is only a couple of feet off the rock
but the angle makes him look
like he is getting serious air time!

boys. flexing. muscles.
ALL BOY!

grown-up sized lincoln logs
even grandma joined in
with the teeter-totter action

floating boats down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream...

Kenzie opted for Courage Reins most the day
hours after this picture
she was bucked off her horse
OUCH!!
She did a little tuck and roll action,
dusted off,
and jumped back on...
Had to be sure the horse knew
who was the BOSS!

back home...waiting for the movie...
more like waiting for the sun to go down.

Lot of Friends!

Finding seats and getting treats...
It was a chilly night
so we lit a big fire in the backyard,
toasted marshmallows and made smores,
watched "Tangled"
and polished off
5 bags of popcorn,
2 BIG bowls of caramel corn pops,
bag of licorice,
and a box of cookies.
Thankfully, no one got sick...
and everyone had a good night!
HAPPY SUMMER ALL!!
