Camping with the family is always entertaining! It is never without good food, lots of laughs, and a little drama. Here is the visual recap of the weekends events:
It all began early one morning on the 3rd day of July at the Cinder hills....ahhhh..I'll just get to the point. Notice the chair Margayle is sitting in (it is still in one piece...that will be relevant in a second).
Mom!! What are you doing down there?...and yes that would be Margayle's chair that is now in pieces. Notice how quick we were to help. Sorry mom, we couldn't miss this Kodak moment!
I guess it serves us right...our trip to the hills was cut short by a massive thunderstorm, but even that was entertaining. 
Where are you going with those things? The truck is the opposite direction!!
Our family spirit squad!! Aren't they cute?
We thought it would be a great idea to watch the Independence Day parade downtown. And it was!! Despite the mile walk to get there, the swealtering heat, and the hoards of people, we had a great time. Just for the record, you can thank my loud mouth for the free popsicles and Margayle's new pajamas!
The adoring fans!(our umbrellas sure came in handy AGAIN)
The not-so-adoring fan!
Free hayrides and popcorn! We couldn't resist!
Is it obvious that mom teaches nursery? She brought up holiday pinwheels for us to make. Thank you mom for thinking ahead. It was the perfect rainy day activity!
The girls...don't you love the matching shirts? Just in case you are thinking, we are good, but we're not that good...it was planned!
This year is the first year I can remember actually enjoying a fireworks show! It is always so hot in the valley that the show is almost not worth the 3 hours you have to sit in the heat waiting for it. We had a great view of the show in Flagstaff. I have never watched people actually lighting the fireworks....but I must say it was almost as amazing as the fireworks themselves. I think this may become a family tradition. It was sure fun!
The not-so-adoring fan!Who goes to a parade and doesn't watch it? WHITNEY. I hope you found the article you were reading on stained concrete more entertaining!
Thanks for the great meal Mindee!
Some people are cut out for banana bikes and others are not. How do you find out if you are? You gotta try one...so we did! This was definetely the most enjoyable 1/2 hour of the trip! Thank you Mom for letting us discover with you that you may be in the latter category! However, to mom's credit, I don't think any of us made the cut, but we sure had fun trying!
I think he may be on to something here!
Thanks for the great meal Mindee!I just have one thing to say as your little sis... the rag on the head went out of style years ago!
