Fourth of July

Our Fourth of July trip was an epic success!  We didn't want to try Eyob in the mountains yet.  I mean, the grocery still overwhelms him, ya know?  So we put our tents up in my parents' back yard and had an absolute blast!  We don't have pics of all the fun, we're missing important parts like riding in the jeep, having special friends from Rio Rancho and Kenya visit the church I grew up in, smores, nertz, and crocheting on flip flops.  But, here's some of the other stuff.  This is what awesome family memories are made of.

Lounging around in one of the tents.

First time at mini golf.  He did not get it.

DQ to try and beat the heat.

KJ - 4 fish.  Everyone else - 0.  One of the stock tanks also has a new inhabitant. 

Wishing we could catch tiny fish like KJ.

Lots of time on the four wheelers!

Swimming in a stock tank?  Yes please!!!

Hot rodding in a '71 Camaro.

What would the 4th be without homemade ice cream and cousins?

The fab five.

Hurry, Poppy, hurry!!!  I want to hold it!

Driving lessons.  Only three years until I have an errand boy.

Mallorie, Jon, and Eyob. Such orneriness cuteness!

Mini photo shoot with my sis.

Lots of time in the tank with them able to touch each other.  We need someone to donate a big passenger van to the cause (keep Mommy sane).
