We had a fun time this week. On Tuesday night we went to Wolverine canyon with Gregg and Anna, Ben and Kaylin, and Kevin, Becky, Owen, and Wes. The kids had a fun time and the best part was we weren't too far from home, so I talked Justin into letting us just stay for dinner and hang out and then drive home that night so we could sleep in our own beds.
Owen, Anna, Ogden and Ellie playing in the stream.
The kids had a little too much fun while we were there. They got a little bored playing in the dirt, so they decided to wade in the little stream. I think Ellie was the only one who ended up just wading. Ogden, Owen, and Anna were drenched and filthy and my kids only had sweaters to wear home. When we got home that night, we went to put the kids to bed. I was helping Anna get changed and when we pulled off her underwear a tic climbed out. I was sure glad we came home that night.
Justin and Ogden showing off Ogden's dirty hands.
On Wednesday afternoon, we were able to go to Rod and Nancy Lilya's house for a barbecue with my parents and my friend Darci and her family . The kids had a lot of fun on Rod's one-of-a-kind play area and playing on the slip-n-slide while the rest of us enjoyed some great food. Thanks for the great ham and steak kabobs, guys.
Anna coming down the slip-n-slide. She got rather creative on her slides. I wasn't able to catch all of them, though.
Ellie coming down the slip-n-slide in one of her creative moves.
Ogden got a little too much speed and slid onto the grass. He had a blast.After we wore out our welcome at the Lilyas, we headed to our friends, the Cannons, for another barbecue with neighbors and ward members.
The kids had fun letting off fireworks. Ogden was hilarious. Whenever he would hear fireworks in the neighborhood, he would run around the yard yelling, "Fireworks, fireworks." I think this is the first year he wasn't afraid of them and now he's making up for lost time.
After everyone settled down, we had a seat on the lawn and watched the Blackfoot fireworks show. It was a modest display, but it sure beat having to go through all of the traffic in Idaho Falls.
We hope everyone had a fun holiday!

Ick!! I hate ticks! Glad it wasn't attached. Sounds like you guys had a good time. Wish we could have joined everyone in Wolverine. Looks like lots of fun!
Wolverine was fun. But, now you have you nervous about ticks. I hate ticks too! We missed seeing you guys on the 4th, but it looks like you had a day full of fun.
