July 4th

We were lucky to have Connor and Jenna with us for the 4th of July this year.  They were some of our very first visitors so we pulled out all the stops to show them a good time.  We started out the day with a kayaking trip down Belt Creek and the Missouri.

Then we had a bbq and my super special American flag cake.
While we waited for the sun to go for the  fireworks, we took the four-wheelers and the skateboards out. Mitch and the boys found a hill near our house that they like to ride down and then drive back up on the four-wheelers. It was a beautiful evening, with the sun setting and the hay bales in the background.
Unfortunately, on the first ride down, Asher fell and some blood was spilled. Connor
Mitch Then we went to Black Eagle Falls, on the Missiour River to watch the fireworks. We thought it would be a good place to see them, but we didn't know how good. The fireworks went off just across the road from where we were. I was worried about Greta being so close to the loud pop and boom of the fireworks, but she didn't even flinch. She just thought they were cool.
My cute 4th of July girls. After the fireworks we came home and did our own fireworks and sparklers in our driveway.
