4th of July

Well, we didn't have many, o.k., we didn't have any plans for the 4th of July. As we stared blankly at each other that day, we finally decided that we'd better think of something to do. Fortunately, the mountains are close and we decided to take bikes, fishing stuff and food up there so that at least we could get some good pictures! That's really all that matters to a blogging family!!! The hardest part of the whole adventure was getting the four bikes in the back of the suburban. But it was well worth it for the 1 bike ride the kids went on. They basically went down the road on their bikes and came back claiming that their bikes still had all the ailments they had had before we left. Cado's handlebars fall down and his chain falls off, Dayton's tire wore through, and Bo's...well, Bo never complains, so his seemed just fine!


Roo was our official photographer and she is even getting really good at taking pictures of herself.



Dayton fishing. And, Dave was a little surprised when Bo poured water on his head while he was dozing.
This was our final event of the day. The $5.00 race across the cold, very rocky river. You'll have to watch to see who won. You'll also be relieved to know that Dayton did eventually save Mariah!
