The annual applesauce weekend

This weekend was our fun applesauce making weekend. I don't have any pictures of the actual applesauce making, but here are some of the rest of the weekend.

Pig tails

Lilly's hair is long enough (and she'll sit still enough) now to put in pig tails!! I love it!!! She loved to look in the oven at her reflection, and of course, Hayden needed some too!! :)

Fair Day!

Yesterday, we had a fun day at the fair with my sister and her kids. Here are Hayden and Robin at the beginning of the day posing in front of the tractor. These 2 are only 4 months apart and are BEST friends! It's always fun to see them hug each other when they see each other (without mom's even prompting)!!
Lilly and Jake ready for the big day!

Getting to decorate a pumpkin with felt parts.

Petting the bunny

Petting the rooster (had the longest tail in the fair (13')!!

Best buds

They held hands almost the whole day

A farm family that we found :)

Decorating cans and planing parsley

Taking a break

Hayden got to ride the teapots (we were the only ones on the ride). He was very brave, and although serious the whole time, he said he had a lot of fun when it was all over.

There were some square dancers that the kids got to watch, and then they tried a little squre dancing themselves!!

Camping in Cle Elum

We went camping this weekend and had a great time. Here's Lilly and daddy.

Summer Vacation

Just thought I would share our fun week that we took. We drove down to Utah to visit my grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and some cousins. Then we took 4 days coming back through the Tetons and Yellowstone. The kids were great travelers considering all the driving we did and great campers (glad we have a tent trailer). Here is Lilly's 1st morning after waking up in the "tent". They slept through the night EVERY night which I was very thankful for!!

Getting to know grandma Great

And Papa great
We went to a huge dinosaur museum. It was very interesting for the adults and fun for the kids. Here is Hayden comparing foot size....not even as big as the toenail!!

Posing with the dinos

Getting to play in some sand

When we first went, I think Hayden was thinking we were going to see "live" dinosaurs and he was hoping to ride one (like he had seen on Diego), but this is as close as he got to doing that!! :)

Safari Lilly

Stopping for lunch along the way. Cheese!!!

Campspot in the Tetons

Getting to help roast marshmallows

MMMMM

Silliness in the car....I guess this was to be expected with the long hours and many miles that we drove!

Stopping in Yellowstone

We didn't get to see much wildlife, but we did see some buffalo

We stopped at Fairmont Hotsprings and got to all ride the slide. It was great!! Maybe the next family reunion could be here?????? :)
