Happy 24th of July!

 By law this year we couldn’t do fireworks by the mountains, but we still had a lot of fun playing games and the girls ALL loved the glow sticks.

Outside on the grass.  So Dark, can’t see really well, but there is A LOT of GLOW!

We are in Utah for a few weeks.  We come visit family every summer and it is so much fun to stay soooooo long!  The girls have a blast with their cousins and nothing makes me happier than being with family.  My girls are sooooooo close to their cousins and they can’t ever get enough of them.  What a Great time we are having.  We stay with each family while we are here.
Below are pics from our stay with my sister Kari and her family.

 The Viking! 

 We got a babysitter and the four of us went to ride the rides.  Watch out!  You are guaranteed to get wet!

 

The Racer!

 Girls at Planet Snoopy on The 4th of July!

 Bumper cars.  This was hilarious.  They did not know how to steer.  The cars just drove themselves in crazy ways.  Eventually they both got stuck.  🙂

 Great ride.  The car automatically follows a track.  They could pretend they were steering and still actually get somewhere.

 They loved seeing Sally and all the characters.

 Dani just smiled and stared.  She couldn’t get enough.

 We went back to Kings Island at night to see the fireworks and Yes we did stay til after midnight!  

 Girls so happy to be here.  They can not get enough of this place.  I remember being the same way as a kid.

  Fireworks and the swings ride next to them.  We were in such a great spot.

Happy 4th!

 Family at The Columbus Ohio Temple
It is a very Bright, HOT, and humid day.  Over 100 degrees.  So Grateful for air conditioning.

Matt and I at the Temple.

Brooke got her cast off on Friday.  I wanted to post a couple more pics of her in her wheelchair.  She used this as she would get around the house.  She got really good at moving it herself.  Emilee and Megan had their share of fun in it as well.  🙂  Towards the end she was mostly walking.  It was very hard to keep her off of it.  I couldn’t believe how well she could walk in her cast.  Crazy!  I’m sure glad this chapter of her life is over.  And I no longer have to play the nurse.

Happy Girl!

 We decorated Brookee’s cast the last day before she got it removed.

Bye, Bye Cast.
Now Brooke has it in her room as a trophy!  🙂
