Happy 4th!

We got to Kathi's the afternoon of July 3 so that we could spend the 4th with them. On the 4th, we took a small "hike" to the park and played for a couple hours. Then we went back to Kat's for a small lunch and naptime. Ryan made the best roast, potatoes and carrots in his dutch oven for us for a late lunch/early dinner and he and Kat made Jordan River Mud for dessert. YUM! It was really delicious. The kids got to play in the water while dinner was cooking and then they had fun playing with those little pop it things that you throw on the sidewalk and they pop (the only "fireworks" they were awake for!). Pictures of our fun:

The kids (Bayli, Jace, Brett, and Bronco...in the stroller). They're ready for our "hike" to the park:
Brett decided this climbing contraption looked like a kitty cage, so he was meowing and being a "kitty in a cage":
Here's Bayli saying "word" to the camera:
Sisters, sisters...Kat and me:
Jace looking through the scope:
OK, so Brett has a hard time doing thumbs up...his index finger usually comes up instead. This is him at the top of the climbing wall after doing it all by himself! Thumbs up!

Teeter Totter! Kat with Bronco, me with Bayli...
Brett, Jace and Bayli race down the slides!

This one's for Ryan...always sabotaging our pictures by doing something gross. Here we are relaxing after our busy and fun day (I'm really bad at the camera timer...I ran in but I covered up Jace):
