Hiatus

We have been on hiatus in Utah again this week. We went to Lagoon, Meadow and Camping in Nevada near Lehman's caves for a family reunion.

Here are the highlights:

*Maycie again throws up ten minutes into the trip.

*5 year old Coulter rides Wicked at Lagoon.

*Maycie repeatedly screams "HELP..HELP" on the Dragon Ride.

*While camping Fergus barks at a cactus for two days, then eats it.

*Alia gives me a heart attack by sticking a weed in my ear.

*Maycie learns to use the bathroom and dry heave at the same time in the stinky campground bathrooms.

*A fish within a fish is caught by "The Rick"

*The lights are accidentaly turned out on us during our tour of the cave.

*While driving his truck, Grandpa Talbot is passed by someone on a pedal bike.

3 skinned elbows, two Bee stings and 27 bruises later, we are finally back home to the HEAT. 114 degrees by the way.

Taking the junior ranger pledge.

Roundup Days

A couple weeks ago we went to Utah to celebrate Roundup Days in Lehi.

Here are the Highlights:

*Maycie throwing up 10 minutes into the drive up.

*Watching Coulter's face as he watched the motorcycle tricks during the rodeo.

*Stepping all over 75 people going down the bleachers at the rodeo to take the two girls to the bathroom, suddenly niether one had to actually use the bathroom once we got there.

*Stepping all over 75 people going back up the bleachers at the rodeo. We were very popular that night.

*Justin in his Float tube Bibs.

*Fergus became a manly mountain dog jumping in/being pushed in the river several times.

*Watching Justin swallow 50 gallons of water from the wrath of Cody's bumper boat sprayer.

* Me becoming the ultimate Laser tag winner for the second time in a row.

*Seeing old friends, every time without fail my children either looked liked homeless people or were screaming like maniacs.

Cant wait till next year.

Fab Fourth

We partied harty at our house this year for the Fourth. First we watched the hot dog eating contest, Riley was fascinated. Then we went to Kingman for some KFC and the fireworks show. We had an excellent spot in the park right beneath the fireworks. There was no shortage of fat men walking around without shirts, so we had some entertainment before the show as well.

Then on Sunday we wowed all the neighboors with our...ahem...illegal fireworks obtained on our trip to Utah. All fireworks are illegal in Arizona...sad, but true.
