Half way over already?

Summer update :

A trip to Utah over the 4th of July. So many cousins, so little time.


I love how quiet it gets when ice cream is involved, all movement and noise just stop.

All of the grand kids, at one time and one place, looking in the same direction. Quite a feat.

Back in Oregon:

Gotta love the water fountains, no floaties involved.

Here Chad is waiting for the water to come on - directly in the line of fire (water actually), and was delighted when he got squirted in the face.

Baseball season is officially over. Once we convinced Chad not to kick up the dust or dance in the outfield, he did pretty well. He even hit a home run (according to Chad, a t-ball home run is just past the dirt and onto the grass - sounds about right).

Sam enjoying the game. He looks so innocent here, you would never know how many times this child sneaked off into the batting cage (at least 10 attempts per game).
