July 2011

What a busy month! July kicked off with town fireworks, a pancake breakfast and the Annual 4th of July Parade in Byers. A few hours later, we hopped on a plane for Portland and landed in time to see several fireworks shows from Grammy & Dadoo's own deck. The next morning, Aaron headed out to Nike to watch a big high school football camp and the girls and I hit one of our favorite Portland parks. The next week and a half were spent swimming at PGC, playing at various parks around town and enjoying family time. Aaron especially enjoyed attending the Nike camp and also a few summer league games that his star girls bb player happened to be playing in, in Portland!

Next, Aaron, the girls, Grammy and I all piled into Grammy's car and drove 9+ hours to Shoshone, ID for the Dille Family Reunion. The girls actually did really well in the car and we were the first to arrive! We enjoyed a few minutes chatting with Great Grandma Dille all to ourselves before the rest of the fam arrived the next day. On a side note - the next day also held special importance, as our niece, Winter Jean, was born to Emma and Pat!!! Wish we could have jumped in the car and headed down to SLC, but that might have been a little too much for the kids :)

Anyway, Shoshone was great as always and Carter had a blast with her 2nd cousin, Isabella and several other kids. We "discovered" Shoshone Falls and Dierke's Lake, which made for great outings and great fun.
