4th of July

Here are a few pictures from our visit to SD over the 4th of July. We stayed with my parents and my sister and her fiance were there as well. On the 4th we went to my brother's home about 45 minutes away for a cookout and then for fireworks later that night. While at my brother's we played in the water and played croquet and ladder ball. The visit was very good and it was really nice to have absolutely everyone together. In this first one Autumn is searching for grandma who went inside to get a surprise.

Autumn loves to play with the camera and in the water. She had fun with Mac who let her try to pick him up. She liked the 'surprise' or wheelbarrow but needed help to push it. And she had fun wandering with her bucket to put things in.

Well it is called ladder golf isn't it? Autumn enjoyed climbing the ladder. So maybe before she wins her nobel prize she'll be a gymnast in the olympics.
Here is our little secretary taking dictation for 'Papa'



Autumn had a blast playing in Isaac's pool and with Aunt Jen's hose. Isaac wasn't so sure about that big girl who laughed and squealed in his face and PLAYED WITH HIS TOYS!!!!

Autumn joined in the game of croquet, we need to work on her aim a bit but I think she can hold her own in Glen Lake croquet. (for those of you not in the know this was Pine Lake croquet that got its name changed. This is not your ordinary game of croquet, it is an obstacle course that challenges your skill and desire to win at all costs. Also it challenges your immunity to poision ivy!)
