We headed up to the cabin for some nice cool weather and a Fourth of July celebration. Unfortunately the fireworks were cancelled in Flagstaff, but we were having enough fun we really didn't miss out. We spent the weekend with Aaron's wonderful family. We went hiking, shooting, fishing, quad riding, we sat around and watched the kids get filthy dirty and have a blast playing together. It was quite funny, Aaron and I borrowed his bosses pop up trailer, which might I add was excellent, and towed it up with my dads truck. We were a bit crammed, but figured we would make it just fine. So with trailer in tow, 2 boys crammed in the back with food surrounding them (just added protection and easy access for boredom), and a dog at my feet we headed out. We considered just taking old faithful (the blue van), but then figured regardless of how crammed we were, we would be creating memories!
This was Lane after his quad ride that he was begging for. Aaron said he passed out about half way through. We got him ready for bed without him even waking up. He just couldn't handle going to bed with out the ride!
Derek and Zackary had a blast playing in the dirt with the trucks and tractors getting filthy dirty. Here are some great shots of the dirt.
Lauren managed to stay pretty clean the entire trip. It must be a "girl thing."
Zackary's first time holding, shooting, and hearing a real gun. I'm pretty sure this has opened up a whole new can of worms. I know it is only a matter of time with boys.
The family shot after 3 days of camping. We almost got all the kids looking forward. Thanks for such a great trip everyone!
