Washing The Car

Skyler and I were out washing our car and Avery decided that she wanted to help. She scrubbed the car with me and then played with the hose with her daddy. Avery loves the water! She is such a big helper!

A Day at the Park

My family and I took Avery to the park the other day. She had so much fun playing on the slide! My sister, Nicole, would take her to the top and my mom and I would catch her at the bottom. Avery would giggle the whole way down and then say "again!". Avery also enjoyed picking up the bark and putting it on her head. Her uncle, Tyler, taught her that it is fun to put things on your head. My mom and Nicole had tons of fun on the teeter-totter. I think they had more fun than Avery did! We took Avery's cousin, Sadie, to the park a couple of days later. The girls had so much fun playing together. There is a small river that runs next to the park that the girls enjoyed putting their feet in. We had a fun day at the park!

Wyoming

Our fourth of July this year was spent in Wyoming. Skyler's has family that live there so we went for a family reunion. We had a ton of fun! We went to the head of Swift Creek and rode motorcycles and four-wheelers one day. While we were there I lost our car key. Luckily I was able to find it though. The next day we went to The Intermittent Streams. This place was really neat. It is a huge waterfall that during certain times of the year will completely shut off for about 20 minutes and the whole stream will run dry, unfortunately we were there during the off season. It was still really neat to be able to hike up to see it. On the Fourth of July we went to Skyler's uncle's house and watched fireworks and roasted marshmallows. That was a lot of fun because we were in Wyoming where the big fireworks were not illegal. The next day we were able to participate in the dedication of the Civic Center in Afton. Skyler's great-great-great grandpa was honored there for being the first mayor of Afton. Following that we watched the parade and returned home.
