Loads of pictures from our trip up North. ~ Part I

Okay so I know I am on picture overload again. And these are still not all the pictures. I hate now long it takes to load onto blogger. SO here is the first installment. I still have pictures from my birthday, Hogle Zoo, and our hike to Donut Falls (where donuts actually grow on trees!! ;)

Happy 24th of July - It was fun to actually get to lite off fireworks again. All the kids were so excited when favorite Uncle Michael and Aunt Marianne got there. It think the kids were more excited to play Monster Michael after the fireworks. The big boys had fun lighting and chucking the flowers, while the rest of us got a nice mist from the neighbors sprinklers that were on and blowing in the wind.

Charlotte loved the piccolo Petes that scream. She was the only kid that didnt have her hands on her ears. She even clapped after it. It was lots of fun.

Charlotte and her many adventures. She found that the magazine rack was a great little seat. She was a wonderful passenger to Boston in the Power Wheel, as long as she could control the radio. She found a paper and was ready to do her work at Ashley's desk. And of course not having a nap and trying to finish her dinner before falling asleep.

All the kids had fun playing dress-up. THey are all cowboys. The big kids are the horses. Savannah is there with a long red wig on.

I love to see the Temple

We enjoyed the new temple and took the opportunity of such a pretty backdrop to snap a few pics of all the kids for grandma. I had to get a close up of Cpt Moroni since he is black from being struck by lighting.

Thats all for now. Stay tuned for the next installment. I am trying to condense 280 pictures from my trip. I think I am doing pretty good.
