Splash!

This was the same kind of pool we had as a kid.  Technology has not come a long way in kiddie pools.

The Dinosaur is Back

Some how the last dinosaur was stolen a few years ago!

Wow!

Spencer's 33' lake trout from his backpacking trip.  He's a proud Daddy.
"Just look at the size of his head and fins compared to my hands.  It's enormous!"
Unfortunately the photo is not the best because he caught it at night.

2nd Generation Party

We always had a Fourth of July party at my Grandparents.  There were games, food, prizes fireworks, and cousins!  We all have great memories of this holiday.  This year we weren't able to have a party on the fourth so we got together on th 23 of July.

This is one of the balconies that we used to watch the valleys firework shows from.

All the great-grandkids got to dig through the sawdust and find coins.

There were at least 17 great grandchildren there. It was so much fun to get together and see them run around just like we used to.

Pictures from Vanessa

Thanks for sending me these photos from the 4th of July.

All wrapped up for fireworks.

This Boy and his Basketball

We have even found him sleeping with it tucked under his arm.

His Current Favorite Phrase

Oh! N'n'n'n' no no no!

A Trip to the Woods

I love this stage.  Every flower is for me and with so many dandelions around I get them very regularly.  

This is what Vanessa and Justin taught and practice with him in Canada on long car trips.

O-Okay

Peace Dude

Thumbs Up

What a helper!  He was doing such a great job until he fell ...

We took Sammy and Ayen to roast hot dogs and make s'mores for their first time.

Fourth of July Observed

On Sunday night the fire truck was brought through the neighborhood, light flashing, sirens on, and horn blasting to gather everyone one for Wyoming style fireworks in the desert.  The firetruck came to the desert just in case

On the 5th we started the afternoon off with a bike parade and a neighborhood picnic.  Then we had sparklers and fountains in the neighborhood.

We were so glad to have my family and Great Grandpa with us.  Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of them.
