4th of July

For the 4th, we hung out with about half of the Robertson family.  We swam, ate hamburgers, played the bucket game, pig sticks, trampolines, bikes, video games, and played with cousins. Jer is the entertainment committee.  He put up 9 square, the slack line, organized games, and set off fireworks with about 20 nieces and nephews.

The bucket game.

We had tons of poppers and confetti cannons this year.


Evelyn was very excited about her "tiny hat".

Jonathan was awesome with keeping order during sparkler use.

Evelyn and Sam dominated in chicken fights this time around.  They didn't lose any.  Between Evelyn's acro and Sam's newly found muscles....


Even after a sneak attack.



























They've all been on a Batman and Robyn kick.








Marg made this cute pigeon for James.  It turned out so cute.




 

Disneyland

A couple of pictures that Ada sent me from Disneyland. 


 

Zoo

We got to go to the zoo with our friends.  I already posted about it, but I finally had time to post pictures.




Instead of the elephants, they now have camels in their place.


This was my favorite cat.  He looks so grumpy.




This guy was curled up just like his picture.


Evelyn was taking pictures for about half the time.  Almost every picture she got was some kind of cat.


 

Stewart Falls

These are pictures of Walter's baptism and the Stewart Falls hike.  They didn't get a chance to hike Timp this year, so they settled for a smaller one.  Jer said the kids did spectacularly.




This was from Jer and Margaret's bike ride.




Yay Hikers!

 

Evelyn's dance pictures

We bought a couple of pictures of Evelyn from the dance studio. It's fun watching her grow.



 

Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
