The Fourth of July

 We spent nearly a week up at our family cabin in Greer, AZ from July 1-5th. It was a full household with eventually 9 adults and 8 kids (ages 8 and younger). I hadn't seen my sister and fam in 16 months so it was high-time. Of course it was hectic and crazy with so many under one roof but we expected that. It was also really fun and we made happy memories together. Unfortunately, since Sean just started a new job 2 weeks prior, he couldn't join us for the vacation. We missed him tremendously but filled our days with fun things and made the best of it. We enjoyed...
  • dance parties with the ipad
  • painting/art projects
  • digging in the dirt
  • casual chatting
  • picnics
  • wading in the streams
  • swimming/rafting in the lake
  • celebrating Preston's actual birthday (lucky duck got another cake)
  • throwing rocks in the pond
  • and of course, the small-town parade and festivities on the fourth!














 
 
Happy Birthday America!!
