more activities

I still have more pictures of when we were all together so I better hurry and get these posted because we are going to Florida and I'm sure I'm going to have many more pictures to show.

After Grand camp we went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Shaw and the boys couldn't wait to go to the fish pond. The fish are huge and they couldn't wait to catch some.

Even Sofia and McKenly thought it was fun.

We then went to the Dinosaur Park and even though it was way hot they all had fun exploring the prehistoric era.

I think Livy spilled her water.

Yes, dinosaurs are huge!

Sunday we celebrated Nate and Isaac's birthdays and Kace had found this little fly box in his barn and he had worked hard to clean it up and give it to his Dad for his birthday. He was so excited for Nate to open it. ( I think Tydon was excited as well.)

In the afternoon we thought we better have one more picture with all of the grand kids.( we don't get them all together in one place very often!) The dress for the day was casual as you can see, some more casual than others.

Come on Tydon look so we won't have to take anymore!

Then of course all of us together! Isaac what are you looking at?

Now everyone is looking everywhere but Jaedon and Livy are ready and so is Lincoln and Isaac!

We went to Downatta hot springs on Monday and it was great to cool off. The water was warm but it was still a great place to cool down.

The water fountains were a hit!

McKenly loved crawling throught them.

Layne I love your smile.

I think I like this water!

The fish men! Carson and Layne!

Livy loved this fountain.

Sofia is not quite sure.

I will stay by Mom these water things might go off and get me!

It was a fun day and we loved getting wet!

Grand Camp!

The parade and the Rodeo

We all went to the parade on Thursday night and we met Mel, Jaedon, Livy, and Sofia  at the parade because they had just drove into town after driving for 2 days to be with us! We were so excited to see all of them and the boys were so excited to go to the parade and the Rodeo!

I think they thought Mac was the "King" or maybe Mac told them he was the "King" so they were treating him like they were his lowly servants.

Here we are waiting for the parade and we were trying to tell Livy that she needed to be more aggressive than the boys if she wanted to get the candy.

Here are the boys ready to pounce on the candy!

Sofia wasn't sure about pouncing on the candy and even when a piece was right at her feet she was a little hesitant to pick it up!

Lincoln was just trying to figure out what all of the fuss was about, I love his little furrowed brow when he is trying to figure something out.

Jessica and Livy decided the "girls" should stick together.

They all were excited to go to the carnival and use all of their tickets!

If you can tell some of them were brave enough to lift up there hands!

Tydon couldn't wait until the next ride. Evan is saying "Gee that was fun".

We all went to the famous Preston night Rodeo. We enjoyed it even if it was a little damp.

Yee, haw, go you cowboys!

What a fun night we had with everyone together!

More activities

Ont the 24th we went over to the 24th Celebration that they had in Mapleton. The big hit of the day was this water slide that they had built on the hillside.  They had padded the trench they had dug with cement padding and then had staked down the plastic  with long stakes and hay bales. The water came from an irrigation pipe and it made quite the stream coming down the hill. It was super fun, I know from experience because they left it up until Tuesday and the YW used it for their activity. We went down at least a hundred times and it was padded so nice you didn't even need a tube!

Evan thought this was totally awesome!!

Carson had a few turns but Evan just kept  on going.

They had a chicken chase and we didn't catch any! (We don't really need any more chickens!)

On Sunday we went to church and I love how the Cannon boys pose for their pictures, they kind of remind me of the "little rascals".

We went on a hike to Willow Spring. Don't you love the way they all like to look "tough"! Is that a boy thing?

Hiking across the river.

What Grandma?

I just love the look on McKenly's face.

More of the tough guys!

Will you just hold still!

Almost holding still.

More of the river crossings.

I'm going to scare you!

Mac, you are such a man! I love your Man Purse!

Rainee, blow  harder! we can't hear you!

I will just stand here and scare them when they come down the trail.

Were you scared?

Bryce is showing me his tough man's face!

I love this hike, it is just so beautiful.

Okay, one , two, three, hold still! and look at the camera. We almost got everyone looking! It has been a fun time having everyone here, I still have more to show you so stay tuned!
