A trip to Grams...

A visit to Gram's house in Washington State.

Grandpa Howard teach the boys how to fly fish...

They desperately wanted to catch a fish.  Especially Aidan.  Any chance he could he would be out there with the rod...

The trip wouldn't have been complete without a boat ride...

Aidan even asked to steer the boat...

A little arcade play...

Another kind of boat ride...

Some miniature golf (Gram got a hole in one!)...

Conner seemed to enjoy the water part more than the golf...

An impromptu trip to the beach...

Some more water bending...

Even though it was cool they got very, very, wet...

The next day Conner and I returned with more appropriate attire...

That boy loooovvvveeess the water...

Thanks Gram and Grandpa Howard for a wonderful time!

The Fourth of July

Our fourth of July was spent at Papa and J's house with brunch.  Then we headed down to the park for the annual fair.

Getting ready to be driven down to the park in the back of the truck (highlight of the day for the kids. They thought it was so daring...)

Conner and A getting ready for the ride...

Aidan, Conner, A and D waiting for the parade watching some squaredancers...

Conner on the slide...

The pipers in the parade (Aidan loovvved pipers when he heard them...)

Aidan watching the parade...

A colorful car...

Afterwards,  we had fried chicken and a great pie made by Ben...
