Irish Campout 2010
A favorite thing to do was to walk down to the river.
The children would get their feet wet, throw rocks and just enjoy the water.
They would hold up their shorts so they didn't get wet and it was just to funny.

Saturday Morning we drove into Hagerman and checked out the Fossil exhibit. Dug up some fossils at the sand table, watched a movie about the Hagerman Fossil Beds and did some origami. We then drove to see the alligators.
Trevor and Shane playing horseshoes after we had all gone swimming earlier that afternoon. They went swimming again that night with some of the older cousins.
Zach learned that briquettes are very hot. He burned these two fingers after touching the briquettes on top of the dutch oven desserts.
We rubbed some Basic H on them and not a blister could be found.
Hanging out
We had a spiritual thought each night with games to follow. The funniest one was where some one in the middle, who had on the blindfold, would get spun around and then would point to a spot, at some one. The pointer would then say an animal name and the person being pointed at would have to make the sound in a manner that they couldn't guess who it was.
It was HILARIOUS!!! a definatley have to play again game.
Three little girls LOVING the water.
Morgan, Violet and Mylie playing in the water Sunday morning.
Jason playing with Grandma Sara and laughing.
It was such a wonderful weekend and we absolutley loved all of it. I am so grateful that we have these opportunities to be with family, to make memories together and to have stronger friendships because of it.
This is one of the best family traditions we have, atleast I think so.

fourth of july
We had a wonderful Fourth of July. We had a barbecue with our friends and neighbors Susan, Jim and crew. We ate yummy, yummy food. After dinner we hung out for awhile and then headed to Gene's (Susan's son) house to set off fireworks, a fire pit, and yummy smores.
This was Jason's first fourth of July. He loved the dinner part and then slept through the fireworks in the car.

It was so cold we wore coats, snuggled up to blankets, and stood by the fire.
Gene loves fire, so this is what he did most of the night. Trevor lit a few and so did Jared and Ashely. The children loved to see the fireworks, they always do. Zach wanted it to be the fourth again, like a redo, for the week that followed the fourth.
Oh, the fourth through the eyes of a child.
