June and July Festivities

We all headed up to the cabin to kick off summer and to do some 4 wheeling with the cousins.  Katie wasn't too sure at first but once they got going she loved it.  Miss Sarah is really into the game Slap Jack and talked Uncle Mike into playing with her.  It was fun watching him play with her.

The last weekend in June there was an air show at Hill Air Force Base, about 10 min away.  On Saturday we were able to see some of the show from our driveway.  Here are pictures of the Thunderbirds.  They were so loud and have traumatized Katie with the noise.  Now anytime the Jets fly by she runs to me and covers her ears.





So on Sunday my dad drove up and helped get us on the base with his ID.  We got some better pics closer up.  I took ear plugs for everyone so they wouldn't be scared of the noise.



Let the 4th of July festivities begin.  It started on July 2nd with our neighborhood firework party.  It was fun to hang out and let the kids run crazy.  I bought some pop its for the kids to try out.

Katie couldn't throw them hard enough for them to pop so we taught her to stomp on them instead.

Sarah enjoyed the sparklers.


On Thursday, Mike and Tara and the kids all drove up to have dinner and play.  I had more fireworks to light off and that was tons of fun.

Grace with a sparkler!
Jake and Carson having fun too!
Katie didn't quite understand that you can't grab the top of the sparkler.  She liked watching them though.


The boys had fun with the pop its.  Gary was throwing them at Carson and he would hit them like a baseball bat but with his hands.


Let the fireworks begin.  Well I bought the bunch from Wal-mart so they weren't anything fancy.  But who needs fancy when Mike had given us bottle rockets - years ago - so we decided it was time to light them.  The boys thought they were the best.

Cute Cousins!
