July 4th

My blog is a little out of sync here..we were without our computer for a week...but it's back now..so just updating our summer so far!

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge for a night to see what that was all about. They have quite the set-up there...indoor waterpark and all. We swam and swam..We met Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty there...then went to Kevin's Uncles house ( near Chehalis) for the rest of the weekend, where we had all sorts of activities going on. Horse riding, John Deere Tractor riding...and driving, Kayaking, Kareoke...and visiting with cousins, which is always nice since they don't get together very often. Tanner and Dad Kayaked on a double...then Tan said "Dad..I want to paddle my own." Kevin was a little aprehensive, but let him do it...and he was AMAZING!! He took to kayaking like he'd done it before...so fun to watch!! ( I can't even use those darn paddles, and get them to go the right way!) It was hard to leave all the fun behind...but time to get back home. It was a nice change from the usual 4th activities. Course we had fireworks and a BBQ as well. A great weekend had by all!!

Is this a STUD picture of Tanner or what?! Caught him off gaurd...and I love it!! Dad gave him this hat, and he is SO proud of it!!
