Cousins

Olivia helping Grammie get her summer flowers planted and helping hang up all of her outdoor decorations.  Getting the Basin house all ready for summer.

These four are so lucky to get to spend all this time together.  We look forward to it all year and it is such a special summer treat!

Heading over to Jace and Kade's house to jump on the trampoline.

Oli and Blue playing with Blue's toys.  These two wear each other out!

Hanging out at Grammies.  I can't believe the "bigs" fit on Grammie and Grandpa's bikes!  They all grow so much year to year.

Relaxing

Denny getting some riding tips before he tries out Ryan's bike

The kids have a "secret fort" that we all know about.  Gram walk over there to check on them and they talked her into letting them bring back animal bones and skulls they had found.

Enjoying some smores after supper

Gram, kids and I took a little ride out to Shell, WY.  It is such a quaint tiny little Wyoming town at the base of the big horn mountains.  The Old Shell Store was open and we stopped in for some yummy treats.  

I snapped a pic of someones front yard.  It was FULL of deer.

Playing in the ditch & Playing games

When I was a kid Ryan and I would play in the ditch by our house often.  We loved it.  Ike and Via are getting to do the same now.  It isn't the same ditch I played in but the fun is all the same. They get the bonus of doing it with their cousins.

Playing games.  We have played Uno, 5 second rule, and Guess Who

Wyoming 2020

Once school wrapped up we packed up our things and headed to Wyoming.  June was set to be a very busy month for the kids.  Also, we had tickets to go see Lion King at the Buell theatre as an end of the year treat.  It was cancelled.  The kids were going to VBS and camp IdRaHaJe...all cancelled.  With no plans in our future and Denny still working from home we decided it was the perfect time to load up and go enjoy some time with family.

Dad had to do some work in Casper so he and mom met us there and Mom rode back to Basin with the kids and I.  We unpacked and moved around outside for a bit before heading to Worland for Payton's 17th Birthday party.

Happy 17th Payton!!

Via turned the top bunk into her very own girl cave.  She is a girly girl all day long.

Kids supervising while Grammie cleans up leaves out of her flowers.

The cousins first lunch of MANY together over the next few weeks.

David, Jody, Payton and Elly joined us for dinner. Group photo time!  Kade and Via were switched and we didn't notice.  When looking at the pic from last year we realized that Via and Payton are both wearing the same shirts they wore in 2019.  What are the odds!
