4th Of July Family Parade and Fireworks

The family all ready to go on the annual Clark Family Parade around the neighborhood.

Daddy and Megan so excited to be riding in the trailer.

Tyler waving to the imaginary people.  Josh saying "cheese."

Megan saying "cheese."  She didn't like having to stop throwing her Snaps to take a picture.

Josh didn't even try to stop throwing his Snaps to take a picture, silly guy.

Tyler is always good for a cheeser.  Kimball is photo bombing Tyler's picture.

 

4th Of July Parade and Water Fun

Megan, Josh, and Tyler waiting for the Murray parade to start.  They have their bags all ready for all the candy they were going to get.  We got a ton of candy.  Two gallon size bags full.  Good thing they love taffy.

All the cousins ready to see the parade and collect candy.  Poor Ben is cut off, but all the rest of the grandkids are together.  What a fun tradition.

The kids playing in Grandma Kim's pool.  They had so much fun.

Megan didn't last as long as the boys, but she had a good time.  Tyler and Josh played in there for hours.  We even took them back the next day to play some more.  It's the perfect size pool for these kids.

Megan loves the slip-n-slide.  She made the boys wait a lot so that she could take her sweet time, and then she would cut in front of them in line so she could go more.  It was good for them to learn some patience.

Water balloon fun at Julie's house for Averee's birthday party.  Can't go wrong with water balloons.

Megan loved the water balloons.  She thought it was so fun to play with them and break them.

Tyler loved them too.  He did a lot better at playing the games and trying NOT to let them break.

Josh and Tyler loved throwing them...not sure who Josh is throwing his water balloon at, but he sure looks happy doing it.

Our three cuties.  We are so blessed.

Alex throwing a water balloon at Tyler's back while Tyler was trying to pick up a ball on the ground by Ben.  Typical Alex.

The after shot of the water balloon hitting Tyler's back.  I don't think Tyler was super happy about that, but they all had a wonderful time at the party.  Julie always does fun activities.

Bear Lake - Park Fun

Tyler climbed to the top of the rope pyramid.  He was so proud of himself.  I was proud too.

Megan really likes the swing.  Good times.

Josh likes the swing too.  He's such a cutie.

Josh tried the rock wall, but had a hard time getting going.

Tyler liked the rock wall too, he had no problem climbing right up to the top.

Megan and Josh rocking the ropes.

Josh loved swinging on the hanging swing...thing.  He liked to do it just himself, not with anyone else swinging at the same time.

Tony, Conner, Alex, and Logan swinging on the "thing." The boys loved being swung by Tony and I think Tony loved swinging the boys and making them fly.  Alex was able to hold on the longest every time. 

Megan working the swing around thing, with Dad's help.

Tyler at the end of the bars.  It was good practice for becoming the next American Ninja Warrior.

Tyler working the bars.  He could do them all himself.

Teagan and Megan swinging in the big swing.  They both loved it.  These two played so cute together.  When their are only a few girls, they really have to stick together.

Bear Lake - Outside Fun

Tyler running to the end of the race.  He was the second fastest kid at the reunion.

Josh getting ready to run.

Josh finishing strong.

Megan being adorable.

Megan playing in the sand.  The kids all LOVED the sand in the back yard.

Tony would make it and Megan would kick it down.  A good time for everyone.

Josh helping Uncle Gabe and Kevin build the fire for s'mores.

All the grandkids sitting around the fire waiting for their s'mores.

Megan says, "cheese."

Josh, Alex, and Jacob helping Gabe.

"Cheese" - Josh is always too busy to give me a good picture.

Tony making us some yummy, perfectly roasted marshmallows.

Tyler, Josh, and Megan eating their s'mores.  Josh didn't really like the s'mores, but Tyler and Megan did.  We didn't actually give Megan a toasted marshmallow, she just ate all the ingredients.

Bear Lake - Beach Fun

Josh loved playing in the mud while at the lake.  There was a little island that was out a ways and the kids all loved playing on it. 

Josh in his "hot tub" on the island.  The water was really shallow for a long ways, so perfect for the kids.

Tyler running in the water.

Megan playing in the sand.  It was a little too cold for her and she didn't last very long at the water before wanting to go back to the house.

Tyler running and being silly in the water.

Tyler showing us his "skills" on the water.

Bear Lake - Day 1

Most of us hanging out watching a movie before bed.

Megan being silly on the deck before we started the movie.

Julie, Kevin, Michelle, and Wendy - What a view.

Julie and Kimball, Kevin and Gavin, Michelle and Megan, Wendy and Benji

Tyler watch most the movie, Josh watched about half and then watched Hayden play the I pad, and Megan watched about ten minutes before she started playing with other stuff.  A good time was had by all.

Alex, Benji, Wendy and Gabe in the back,  Cute Pulliam family.  Jacob was sitting a couple seats away.
