July Fun Catch-up

For the 4th of July we went camping at one of our favorite places

with some of our favorite friends.

The kids spent most of the two days in the water or on the boats.

Justin and K having a blast in the boat.

Tanner and D searching for frogs, fish, or any other creatures they can catch.

Matthew just chilling and enjoying quiet time.

Who is that cute boy.

Savy and A had fun spending time together.

The boys did a lot of fishing. One night B caught one and it swallowed the hook

and died so he gutted it, cooked it over the fire, and ate it.

B caught this fish with his bare hands.

Justin crawled around everywhere and got dirty, ate sticks and dirt and had so much fun.

Last Year Savy and A got really burned when they went out on a loooong boat ride. This year I had them take the umbrella but they started using it as a sail. The wind blew it so hard that it blew it inside out. That was the end of using the umbrella.

Justin loves using sticks to draw in the dirt.

D is really good with Justin. Justin really likes him.

Tanner with a frog! How cool!

How many can we fit on the boat without tipping it?

At night we built a fire and sang songs.

J and D having fun.

AWE.....so cute.

After camping we went to my parents house for a parade and fun in the park.

My mom and dad. For as long as I can remember my dad is always kissing, pinching, or hugging my mother and saying how cute and sexy she is. I love my parents.

The kids waiting to get the candy from the parade.

Liechty Camp-out

Later in the month we went camping with Pat's side of the family. Savannah and Matthew went to Youth Conference so they are not in the pictures.

Brady really has a fun time with his cousin Cooper. They spent much of the time climbing trees and playing chess in the trailer when it was so hot.

Patrick and his brother enjoying time together.

Just chilling.

The cute girls doing art.

You can't seeing but Brady and Cooper where at the top of that really tall tree in the middle. We finally told them no more climbing trees.

Cute Jus.

Just back from a hike. K carried his little (second?) cousin almost all the way on his shoulders.

We went to the lake the second day. Here Jus and I are enjoying the lake

with two of my cute nieces.

The teens and grandpa Liechty.

Playing games.

We had a nice time. It was fun to see family and get to know them a little better.
