And even More COUSINS!

As fast as we could get home from Washington, get the laundry done, sneak fourth of July in (which I have no pictures of but we had a wonderful day with family, BBQ, and fireworks) the kids and I headed out to Bozeman Montana. Joe met us there a week later! We had such a great time. My sister came with her kids. My two brothers were there with their kids and so for the first time in a very long time all of the grandkids were together. We enjoyed fishing, hiking, picnics, movies and a whole lot more... Thanks Mom and Dad!



Emily loves her Grandpa and I think that my dad enjoys every minute!

My brothers may be older but some things never change.

My cousin Sara and her husband Luis and their son Finley took us up to the resevoir and taught us how to Kayak. The kids loved it! I was amazed because after only a few minutes of instruction Luis let the kids loose.

We visited another splash park. It was nice to cool off.

One of my favorite things about going home is seeing my Grandparents. My Grandpa is 85 and My Grandma is 80. My grandpa still rides a bike for exercise and my grandma is always up for a girls night or a movie. Everytime we come my grandpa plans some kind of project. This year he had the kids prepare the firepit for the upcoming bon fire! They cut the grass, loaded it into the trailer, dumped it and then made benches to sit on. After they finished with all of the work he had made up a game for them to play and took them for rides all around the property.

Taylor couldn't get enough of the sweet grass!

My sister in law Kacey even got in on the action! Okay so we had her pose but it's still pretty cute.

Playing the game....they were pretty good!

Sitting on the finished product. They were pretty proud of themselves.
