We had a ton of fun at the beginning of July with the 4th and our family camping trip to Juanita Lake.
Our monthly Costco trip... the kids love the giant fans at the checkout.
He's loving climbing on top of things. And sticking his tongue out!
We bought a few fireworks, the kids were so excited for them. Especially Ruby!
Becca, Frances, and their friend Laura came over for a barbecue and some fireworks.
Sparklers!
They loved it!
Shortly before this Reid stepped on a spark with bare feet! He was okay, but oops!
So excited for the Mad Dog Fountain for our finale.
Woo!
She busted out her shades.
We put the kids to bed, then Andy woke Ruby up to take her to the neighborhood north of us. They have a huge fireworks show every year apparently. They said it was fantastic!
On the 5th we headed down to go camping! We originally planned to stay the night at my parents' on Thursday night, but there was a big fire in Hornbrook. The freeway closed right before we made it there, so we had to turn around and head back to Medford.
Thankfully Cindy lives there and we stayed with their family. We had lots of fun! Miles loved the piano, and their cats. He wasn't feeling good for some reason at bed time though, and threw up. No idea why though, he was fine after that. Thank goodness, we didn't want to camp with a sick baby.
We headed to In-n-Out on our way to Juanita. Ruby sure had fun with her cousins.
We made it! It was cool and cloudy when we first got there.
That didn't stop our kids from getting straight into the water.
Miles and Marcus had lots of fun playing together.
Such a gorgeous lake.
Getting sleepy at campfire time.
The first night was really, really cold! Miles didn't sleep well, even though he had a bunch of layers on. So I brought him to bed with us where he slept much better all warm and cozy.
Reid and Mary Ann were playing Stick People for a long time.
A bunch of the little boys just played and played in the shallows.
Ruby loved the kayaks.
Cards with cousins.
Miles had fun running around. He's getting so fast. I was so thankful he was walking before the camping trip for sure.
The boys decided to play in the dirt...
They were having so much fun.
It was head to toe and Reid did not like his cold bath in the lake after that! Thankfully Aunt Mary had a wash basin and heated up some water to finish it off.
The family photo.
We did a little talent show of sorts. Ruby did little magic trick with her cousin of changing her blue ring into a red ring. It was so cute.
Reid LOVED playing with Daisy. She's such a sweet dog.
Good morning! Miles woke up early the second morning while everyone else slept in.
Dough boys in the morning.
Ruby drew this cute picture in Grandma and Grandpa's trailer while Andy and I packed up. My parents are such a big help!
We made it home and got all bathed. The kids' bath water was brown!
The next morning Ruby and Reid started swimming lessons. Reid did not have a good time last year, but this year was much better.
Ruby did fantastic! She didn't want to put her face in the water at first, but by the end she was doing everything.
Cutie pie. He gets really cold in the water.
