Family Reunion/4th of July

4th of July weekend we headed to Grant for Kurtis' family reunion. They rented out the Senior Center for the weekend so we had lots of room to relax and play. It also had a kitchen which made it nice for us to take turns cooking meals.  Landon and Avery hit it off with Kurtis' cousin's kids right away. Fun was had by all!   




Kurtis' mom's family minus a sister.  



Avery adored Tristen.  






Landon seriously played pool for an entire day.  He got lots of tips and tricks from Grandpa.

Oh of course Avery lets Taylor play with her hair.

Some of Kurtis' cousins

There is a thrift shop attached to the community center so of course Cody and Kurtis had to get their workout in on the equipment for sale.


I was in charge of pictures for the weekend, so I wasn't in any of them.  I decided to take a selfie to prove I was there. :)


Then of course we were there to celebrate the 4th.







Before heading home we visited the celebration at the Grant park.  

My little firecrackers!  

Landon even made the front page of the Grant paper!

Heartland Celebration

This year was the first year I've been to the Heartland Celebration of Freedom at our church in awhile.  With Kurtis playing drums it's hard for me to volunteer at a station with the kids so I decided to wake up early on Saturday and volunteer for the 5K.  I was at a turning point on the route so I was able to cheer and direct the runners.  That evening we headed back up to enjoy all the festivities!  






Landon was so proud of his paintings!  















Such a fun night!
