Boat races

This year our cousins from Montana came out to go to the boat races. We haven't been for 10 years and so we had a lot of fun rediscovering the races and watching the boys enjoy the river, boats and planes. Carter was so excited to have his cousins Kaden and Tori and can't wait to see them again.

I've always thought the best part of the boat races is just

spending the whole day in the river.

Swim lessons

Both the boys did swim lessons this summer. Logan really enjoyed his class and loves the pool. Carter is doing a great job swimming and starting to learn different strokes. It is a lot of fun to watch him.

Logan's favorite activity was when he got to throw his toy and kick and paddle to retrieve it. The only problem is he really can throw and hit a few people and he tried to go for the other kids toys a few times. He is always entertaining.

July 4th

We haven't been in town the last few years for the 4th of July so it was nice to celebrate at Grandma and Grandpa's this year. We had great food as usual and Danelle planned a great fireworks show. I love that you can still light off your own fireworks in Richland, just like when we were kids. Both boys loved the fireworks and were totally thrilled by the show. Logan was funny as he oohed and awed at each firework.

All ready for the show

Carter was so excited he was dancing around
