Tonight we headed up to my Uncle Rex & Aunt Julie's place for a BBQ. They had a foreign exchange student, Sophie, from Norway about 15 years ago. She came back for a visit with her two children, Kevin (11) and Moa (6). We also got ooh and ahh over the gorgeous deck they just built out back.

Here is Aspen enjoying the grub:

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great day of celebration. This is my brother Seth in his festive outfit:

We were planning on going down to the Freedom Festival and then heading down to Dennis' parent's farm; however, the bbq got moved to Jeremy & Cynthia's, so we decided to go up to my parent's in the morning and swim. This was a serious game of volleyball:

Shaylee likes swimming:

It's cold!


Aspen is a water fiend:

Papa teaches her how to float:

Connor had a great time (he even ate some of that orange water noodle . . . grandma found it when she was putting him down for a nap, thought it was a carrot and left it in his mouth . . . he was still chewing on it 3 hours later when he got up from his nap):




Aspen looking cute:

Connor really enjoyed the corn on the cob at the bbq at Jeremy & Cynthia's:
