This was suppose to post on the 12th, but for some reason did not....here it is....

I just went back to see what pictures I had not posted and it is pitiful. Seems I have checked out.

One of our last outings before cousin Gaby left to go back to Florida.....

Jacob just hanging out on the rock, he just looks like a natural.

Joseph made it to the top, all by himself.

It is so nice that the city has these boulders in several of the local parks.  We have some huge climbing enthusiasts in the city - several who have scaled Mt. Everest.

Then we headed out to a local hiking trail, along the river.

Usually when the snow melt is the highest, the rocks behind Joseph are covered in water.

We said goodbye to Gaby...it was a fun 6 weeks and I am so thankful that my boys finally were able to connect with cousins on their dad's side of the family.

Gaby flew out on a Wednesday afternoon and then my mom flew in that night.  All the cousins arrived on Saturday.  The first thing we did was gear up for a shaving cream fight in the backyard field.  My three boys, Kenna, Kolby and Sam were all armed.  (Kendall and Kelsey waited in the background with their full cans of shaving cream so to ambush the younger ones when their cans were empty - unfortunately Kristine had to fly back to Ohio for work, so she was not with us.)

Kendall is on the attack - she does not stay too clean though.

Kendall made sure Granny got in on the action.

Then it was time to hose everyone off.  The shaving cream fight got started a little later, so it was getting cool and our outside water was even colder. Once clean, everyone hit the warm showers

A beautiful sunset to end our day together.

I will upload more pictures soon.
