Fun in Lander, WY--Part 3

 the 3 oldest grandsons here--Zane, David, & Carter

 our cute girls!  Sashaann, Alyssa (both great-granddaughters), Emmalee, Brienna, Ashlee (granddaughters) and Kailey (great-granddaughter).

 They are both sleeping sideways on the bed that I get to sleep in with them (a double bed--not a queen or king!).

 Benjamin is sooo stinking cute!  I love this boy :D

 Pamela used her umbrella most of the way down from the falls.  Sherrie (on the right) met us the last few minutes.

 Benjamin has really bonded with his oldest cousin, David.  David was really good to carry him on his shoulders quite a bit for the hike to the fall.

 My mom and dad.  I really great picture of them!

 Our girls being silly.

 Silly grandkids!

 The 5 Carter sisters

Are we silly or what!!!  (Sherrie took her dentures out--we couldn't stop laughing!)

 Ben at the 4th of July parade.

 Some of our group at waiting for the parade.

 Callum taking pictures of the old steam tractor (from 1913--100 years old).  I love what interests Callum!

Alyssa, Brienna, Ben & Zane 

 It was the hottest during the parade (88 degrees at 10 am).  Benjamin has it made!

 4th of July BBQ

 I had to sneak a picture of Uncle Don helping Alyssa with fireworks.

 Brienna

 Our hike to the falls on a Saturday morning.  We left around 7:15 am (we left the house just before 7 am)

 Good thing we got an early start.  On our way down, we passed a steady stream of hikers going up.

 9 of the 12 kids who hiked up.  (Alyssa doesn't care to climb up on high things--and I don't blame her!)

 Zane & Carter were at the end of our group.

I love the rocks & small hiding/shelter places they provide. 

Carter & Zane--they hung behind about 15-20 minutes so the slower hikers could enjoy the hike (take pictures, stop and rest, let the kids play on the rocks). 

 I told Pamela that instead of "hike" to the falls on the calender, it should be "leisurely-stroll" to the falls.

Kailey, Ashlee, Emmalee & Ben on the top of a rock.

 We made it to the top!  (Falls in the background)

 All 12 of the kids that are here visiting!

The 3 youngest sisters that made the hike. 

 Shortest to Tallest of the grand & great-grandkids.

 I love Ben in this picture!

 The boys' best side!

 Creepy smiles!

Fun in Lander, WY--Part 1

 Emmalee at swimming lessons

 Emmalee really blossomed this year!

 Ben was a little reserved this time for the first week.  Each day he improves.

 Waiting for his teacher

 The boys come over to the pool for swimming lessons, because it has better Wi-Fi :D

 Look at Benjamin floating on his back.

 Every summer we make homemade donuts using my Great-Grandma Pearl's donut cutter.  Brienna's turn.

 Ben's turn. 

This year Grandma didn't want to mix up the dough (it's too hard on her arms) so I mixed up a double batch of donuts.

 Emmalee loved making the donuts.  She sat and watched all the other people take their turn.

 Callum

 Yay!  I did get a picture of Zane--watching Callum take his turn.

 Zane's turn.

 Brienna with Grandma

 3 generation--Brienna, my mom, me, & Emmalee.

 my turn with my momma :)

My mom and dad. 

Brienna having fun on the 4th of July with Cache Pitt's oldest son--Logan. 

Ben, the jack-in-the-box. 

 I can't believe the swing is still holding up after all these years.  This swing is at least 45 years old.  (they got it some time in the 1960's).

The kids playing school.
