The Fourth of July!


Today is the fourth of July!!! How greatful we should all be to live in such a great country. At times we all take it for granted but I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the wonderful freedoms that we have.

Today we were at Micah's aunt and uncle's house on Black Lake in Olympia. We all had lots of fun full of great company, good food and awesome fireworks. They have this apple tree that had very tiny unripe apples that all the little kids pulled off and took bits out of. Veraty and Karma had lots of fun with their cousins, well I guess they would be second cousins. This is Veraty and Kelsie picking and tasting the apples. There are lots of pictures but it was so hard to pick and choose, sorry!



Ya, you pick a great apple!!!


















They had a tire swing which was a big hit for Karma and Brody. Those two had a great time together. I think Karma fancied him very much.

















Veraty picking her nose again. I have lots of these kind of pictures. She just likes to pick her nose.















She is just to dang cute.














Yes, you are too!
















Her uncle Connor is always looking for some sort of creature. In the bucket they had a couple crawdads and bullheads. All the kids thought it was so cool. He also found a frog.










What a great picture.















Veraty and Sobeida, they both have to have things in their mouths.









Trying to get a good picture with me and the girls was pretty much impossible.












Bruce aways has a great display of fireworks. This year was really good.
















Hard to see everyone, but this is Micah's family, well his cousins, brothers and wives anyways.










And the little ones.













Karma is ready for the firework show.






Veraty did not like the fireworks. She covered her eyes, she just didn't like the loud noise or the lights from it. She finally fell asleep.

Thanks Bruce and Linda for a great Fourth of July party.

I loved the 4th of July party this year-it was so much fun and the kids had so much fun! Karma and Brody definitely hit it off, eh? Thanks for posting all of the cute pictures!

Your pictures are definitely very cute. And I love it that Connor is still looking for critters - that cracks me up. I'll have to check out your blog more often, I didn't even know you had one. Thanks Robin!
