4th of July 2015

We enjoyed the 4th of July with a bunch of Keith's family at his parent's cabin.

 It's fun to see these cute cousins (a month apart) growing up and acknowledging each other more.

 Keith with the kids.

This is the age that Brett will look back on one day and wonder why he was such a pill every time we tried to take a group picture.  :)

 Snuggles with Daddy.

 It was fun to have older girl cousins there to give a helping hand, especially since our Camille is SO BUSY!

 Our family went for a little drive to a favorite hiking spot nearby.  The boys all took a nap for a while when we got there.

 I chilled out in the car, wishing I'd brought my book.  :)

 Camille roamed the car and had fun at the steering wheel...

 ...just like last year when we were at the same spot waiting out the rain.

She has grown up so much!

 We like to throw rocks here.

This one went really far!  :)

 I spy a cute baby in the woods!

 Of all the random places in the world, we ran into some friends at the end of the lake.

They were just sitting there in a kayak.

Which is pretty cool because then we got a cute pic of them that we could email that they would have never had otherwise.

 Now he's turning on the smiles.

 The forest was SO GREEN!  And it was raining just a little bit during our hike.

Doesn't it look like Grant's in front of a fake background?

 We just couldn't get these kids to all look at the same time, but they sure are cute.

 "Cheese!"

 Here's the best we could do for a family pic.  We set the camera on a rock!  Ha!

 Miss cutie-pants blew out her diaper in the car.  Now it looks like she's just in an all white romper!

"Yay!"

 Her latest trick is saying, "La-la-la-la-la!"

 Back at the cabin.

It rained a ton in the afternoon so we all hung out inside.

The fireworks got cancelled that night too.

 The kids covered their fort in pine needles.

 On Sunday we went on an hour drive into the forest to see Keith's sister's new place and go to her ward for church.  Our nephew was giving a talk in primary that day.  He was so thrilled to have 14 extra people in the back of the primary room watching him.  :)

With all those pine trees everywhere, and the rain, it almost felt like Christmas there!

Camille was so tired after our little adventure.

And so was Brett.

We had a super fun time and came back home on Sunday night to sleep in our own beds!
