4th of July Fun

For 4th of July this year we headed to the Goodmans' Ranch.  They guys needed to do some Survivor building, and us wives decided to tag along!

I was worried at first about it being too crowded, too hot, too much work... I really wasn't sure I wanted to go, but we ended up having a great time!

We drove the Polarises.

And Reef proved to be a pretty good driver!

We shot guns.

And found TONS of shell casings.

This girl was OBSESSED with the horses and the pigs.  She had no fear, and we had to keep a close eye on her!

At night we had s'mores.

 And witnessed a very fancy fireworks display.

 Can you see the pigs in this picture?  The kids had a blast chasing those poor baby pigs!

 Everyone was excited when Josh caught one for them to pet.

 My whole world is in this picture!  Love it!

 We hiked to the river for some wading.

 Lachlan "found" this turtle shell.

Then they practiced slingshots.

 After a failure with a slip n slide and water guns, we enlisted the men's help in filling water balloons.  A fun game of water balloon baseball followed.

 Until that got boring and a water balloon fight started!

 Our whole crew!  We missed the Hills and the Bennetts, our other Survivor families.

 Just the boys, because Poppy wasn't in the mood for more pictures...

 BFF's.

We had such a fun time and are thinking of making it a tradition!
