The Real 4th of July!

Sunday after church we went up to Jordanelle reservoir to celebrate the 4th and my Dad's b-day. My cousin Jen and Paul had reserved a small pavilion on the lake. The weather was windy and chilly and then sunny and windy. So we kept putting on our jackets, then taking them off.

The birthday boy! (If you look closely you can see the only picture of me-in the reflection of his glasses!)

Austin keeping his bald head covered to avoid sunburn AND staying warm.

My cute grandma!

The girls throwing sticks in the lake. (See below for their funny video that they had no idea I was recording!)

Alex playing horseshoes

It took awhile(and a few tears of frustration and a rock kick or two) but he finally got the hang of it and this is him posing behind his "leaner" (horseshoe leaning against the pole.)

The girls dancing to their own drummer??
