Libbie chose swimming for her birthday activity. We went to a pool we've never been to before, and it turned out to be very fun for them. I kept Jaren in the shade, and Nathan was a good dad and cared for all our crazies in the pool. Brave, brave soul.
All the kiddos before our swimming adventure.
We were able to keep Caleb's and Marci's boys for a day while they were in the hospital getting their new little one. We had a great time swimming in the back yard and also ventured out to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. Here are some of the fun hi-lights.
Henry was THE BRAVEST one and would stick the corn right in the goats' mouths. At one point when we were by the Clydesdales, he found some stray hay and started feeding them. One horse nearly ate his fingers, but he didn't seem to mind...pretty sure his parents would have minded.
For the 4th, we went to McCall for the annual Smith reunion. It sure is gorgeous up there...but always stinkin' cold! The girls didn't seem to mind though and had so much fun being dirty and running around with cousins all day. They got to do lots of fun things like paint t-shirts, play bingo for prizes, hit a pinata, make other fun crafts. They also witnessed two cleanings of fish...ewww, but they were fascinated and don't seem to be scarred in the least. It was so fun to see people we love that we don't get to see very often. Next year though, I say we head to Hawaii. What do you all think?
Here are the girls playing in the tent.
We got in some good grandma time.
These girls had such fun together. They played and played so nicely. It was sue great to see them together.

I am all about Hawaii but would settle for just being able to hang out with you guys come rain or shine. Oh - I miss the reunions... how about next year Nauvoo? Do it - for your country. :)
Your kids are growing up so quickly. As I looked at the pictures trying to name all of them I was like oh that is Mallory oh no that is Claire. Crazy! Fact is that they are all amazing beautiful. We were so sad we couldn't come and join the fun at the reunion. Next year is my mom's turn so I guess it is a must that we go. So plan on that one:)
That's an adorable birthday girl. The camping pictures were cute too - except one of them. Thanks for sharing!
So fun to see you all at the reunion. What a trooper with five kids. I had only myself and the tent to take care of and that was enough.
