The Fourth of July

We took a trip into the Big Horn Mountains with Craig, Linda, Kristy, Cody, Kayla and Alicia. It definitely wasn't too hot, it rained a good portion of the day. We did have fun. Here are a few highlights.

We visited Dam Engineer Heaven:









Ray is in the picture on the right. Can you find him?

A few pictures while we were on the dam:

























We found a campground where we could eat lunch. The rain ceased long enough for us to eat, but not any longer.

I think Cora has a bit of a bossy streak. She is regularly jabbering away at other children and pointing. I'm not really sure what she's telling them, but it seems she is trying to tell them what to do. Here she is apparently not allowing Alicia to join them on the rock:
The guys did manage to get a fire started, despite the rain.

Playing with Shalon

Wendy invited us over to play with Shalon in the sprinkler. She has a really cool sprinkler that shoots balls up into the air. My girls didn't care. They didn't want to get wet. As soon as Cora felt one drop of water she was running the other direction. Ruby was slightly more daring, as long as Lil was with her she would make her way up to the sprinkler.











So we went to the trampoline. That was a big hit. Especially once I got on and bounced them.

Clair and Alan were hauling hay. Ray and Dad were discussing it with them.

The girls quickly learned how the fountain worked and that they could make it spray. Please note that I had nothing to do with them learning about the fountain. It was Grandma that showed them how it worked.

Riding Horses

The girls are turning into trick riders, at least on Shag.
