My niece Abby and nephew Joey (he came a couple days latter) from New Jersey came to visit us for a week and a half. We stayed really busy swimming, camping, a baseball tournament, playing cards and just hanging out. We all had a lot of fun and were sad to see them go. Since we don't get to see them to often we had a lot of fun to make up for. When Abby got here she was wearing a shirt that Taigely had so of course she had to change into her shirt. It was fun for Taige to finally have a girl cousin to play with that is around her age. On Wednesday we went to the new Lindon Pool. The kids had a lot of fun and slept very well that night. On Thursday Joey came and my dad took Taige, Joey and Abby down to Manti to celebrate the fourth of July. My sister was in charge of the parade so everyone was in it. The kids decorated their scooters and rode them in the parade. They had a lot of fun with the booths, fire works and playing with all of their cousins. The next day they went boating at Gunnison Reservoir. They had a lot of fun even though the water was a little greenThe rest of us stayed to go to Tacoma's firecracker tournament. This is Tacoma, Tessa and Talon in their fourth of July attire. Tacoma won his first two games in South Jordan and lost the last two games in Oakley and Park City. It was a lot of fun. There was a parade going on in Oakley so Talon and I got to see a parade, since it is not one of Troy's favorite things to do.

We went down to Colette's house on Sunday night and headed up to the cabin on Monday. We stayed until Wednesday. We had a lot of fun and even managed to build our own fires. It was kind of cheating because for the most part we cooked inside the cabin in the oven. Oh well. Everyone had a great time. They have a huge swing that is hooked up between two trees. The kids loved to swing and insisted on someone doing the underdog to them. This is Talon and he is smiling from ear to ear.

Taigely on the swing.My nephew Joey was a great help and loved to play with the kids. He didn't want me to take a picture of him with Tessa, but I couldn't resist. I had to show his mom and dad what a great help he really was. The kids on our hike up to milky falls. That is a big waterfall that I didn't get in the picture.

Milky Falls hike again.

We went to the new splash park "Cowabunga bay". It was so much fun. The wind was blowing so it got a little cold. Tacoma was good for the first 2 hours then he got sick. He got a flu bug that Talon spread to him and Kort. Sorry Colette. All of the other kids had a great time. Even Tessa didn't mind playing in the kiddie pool and basking in the lawn chair.
