July 4th and Broken Bow

I love this picture of Kate a couple of days ago in our backyard.
We went to Broken Bow, Oklahoma a couple of weekends ago with Kamara, Rod and Aubrey. It is about 3 1/2 hours from here. We rented a cabin there and stayed for three nights. It is close to Beavers Bend. We had a blast! It was beautiful. The river was right outside our cabin so we could go fishing, canoeing and swimming every day. The cabin also had a hot tub. So after the girls went to sleep every night we relaxed in it. I was sad to leave!

A sweet picture of Aubrey and Kamara

Rod and Zack grilled every night. It was so yummy!

Kate sleeping on our drive back from Beavers Bend to our cabin. She is now in her front facing carseat, which is really a booster seat.

Kam and I hanging out at night after the hot tub and showers.

Our cabin

The name of our cabin was RiverView

This was a funny picture of Rod getting stuff out of the back of their truck.

The girls enjoyed playing with the rocks


We hung out in Grapevine for July 4th. We had a great time! We took the girls to Glade Pool in Grapevine to swim in the afternoon. Luckily, Kate took two naps that day so we could stay up for the fireworks. She didn't get to bed till 11:30 that night! Yikes!

We had a hard time getting a picture of Aubrey and Kate. Will, her cousin, is holding her and his little brother, Kale is also in the picture.

Here is another cousin, Laci, holding Kate on the slide at the park before fireworks.

Last year we took this picture of our girls with one of my other sisters, Lori, and her daughter Isabelle.

Here we are a year later

Kate loved the swing at the park

Kate did pretty good watching the fireworks. She wanted to run around and play. It was cute to watch her try to reach out and touch the fireworks.

Ian, another cousin, did not like how loud they were.

Kate is getting so big! She doesn't look like baby Kate much anymore, but she is still just as adorable. I'm glad you guys had a great trip. It looks like it was beautiful and very relaxing. We'll have to get together soon. I've missed seeing you.
