Mine & Rilyn's tootsies ... I decided to go festive with my toe nails for the holiday when I got my pedicure ... so I painted Charlotte & Rilyn's to match!!
Our 1st evening after we got all unpacked and situated, we went for a little ride around town and visited some friends and family of the Skagg's!!
Rhett & Rilyn cheesin it up!!!
We were just cruisin' along when I looked back and noticed Trey had his goggles on upside down and he had no idea ... the best part is when I looked back at him he was smilin, giving me the thumbs up .. hahahaaaa .. so I quickly snapped a picture and then filled him in on why I was taking his picture and of course we all cracked up!!!
DAY 2:
On the 2nd day there we went to the park for a little carnival type thing where the kids could play games and win prizes, but probably about an hour or so into it a storm rolled in and we had to high tale it back to the cabin to get out of the rain!! The kids had a blast while it lasted!!
Once the storm passed and the skies cleared again, we loaded up in the Ranger & Rhino and went fishing!! I would be telling fish stories if I said anyone caught anything, but everyone still had fun fish or no fish! I'm sure you can tell by the pictures that just the beauty of this place along with the beautiful weather makes for a great day no matter what you are doing!!
Once back at the cabin we made some dinner, played with sparklers, got in a little Wii time & put on a movie for the kids which pretty much put us all to sleep, adults included, and we called it a night!!!
Dinner time!!
DAY 3:
Our family with the Ranger all decorated!! Trey said "its a good thing we have a red ranger huh guys it makes it easier for decorating cause its already red"!!!
After the parade we went back to the cabin, removed any decorations that would fly off the g-rides, loaded the coolers and headed out for a ride to Mormon Lake & the Cinders. Rilyn of course crashed out pretty much as soon as we started our ride, something about the sound of the engine & the wind in her face just knocks her out every time!!!
In Mormon Lake we stopped at a restaurant and had lunch (probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time)!!
After lunch we headed out to the Cinders to play around on the trails and do some shooting!! Here is the view from the very top! BEAUTIFUL!! The kids had so so so much fun on these trails with their hands up in the air (like they're on a roller coaster) and singing Happy Birthday To America!!! hahahaaa!!
Then came the day it was time to load up and head home and I'm pretty sure we were all dreading coming back to the heat but I tell you what for as much fun as we had and as busy as we stayed all weekend the time didn't seem to fly by too quick and we were able to enjoy every minute of the long weekend!!
Thanks again Skaggs family for the invite and for another awesome Skaintz adventure!! Hopefully we can do it all again next year!!!

DAY 3:Our 3rd day was actually July 4th so we all got decked out in our red, white & blue gear, decorated the ranger & rhino and took them in the parade, which the kids thought was pretty cool, they loved throwing candy and necklaces to all the kids watching and Rilyn waved to everyone with both her hands above her head (soooo cute)!!!
All the kiddos, ready for the parade!! Rhett, Trey, Dylan, Charlotte, Logan & Rilyn

You are such a festive momma, I love it! My hubby is getting better, but let's just say that I pretty much roll solo on the festiveness (if that's even a word)- so I'll take all the inspiration I can get!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics as always- you & Clay make some darn CUTE babies! And by the way, I haven't seen you guys in too long- your kiddos look so much older/grown up to me??
