4th of July (Finally)!

I'm Finally getting around to posting our 4th of JUly weekend. I was having troubles with my pictures and I just gave up and finally decided to try and fix the problem. We spent the 4th camping in vernon. Its between show-low and roundvalley. We were suposed to stay in show low but, to make a long story short, we arrived in show-low friday morning at about 10 and didn't settle in our camp spot until 7:00 that night. lets just say EVERY campsite RV park from show-low to way past pinetop were all full and we ended up staying in vernon. We parked our campers on some land that was used for boyscout something or other. It actually was really nice. It just took us 9 hours to find it! The whole day was not bad but that last hour got to me. I was pretty frusterated and the kids just wanted out of the car!!!! My whole family, all the siblings were there. Its been a while since we all got together. We went in to show-low for fireworks and there were bouncy things for the kids. But get this we decided to sit by our cars to watch the fireworks so we could get out of there fast before eveyone else. Well some dumb person blocked the way out of where we were parked. So about 40 cars were stuck and couldn't leave!!! ours included! so we waited and finally my brother and about 4 other angry guys moved the care that was blocking eveyones way!! Crazy huh! The trip was actually pretty nice though! my sister made all the girls matching bows. so we took pictures of course! that was kinda crazy trying to get a cute picture with that many little ones! but we got some cute ones I thought! We love camping! My kids especially!!! that is their favorite "vacation" to go on! It was a relaxing weekend! There was a rope swing that the kids had alot of fun on! and I think we all had fun! (sorry if there are miss spelled words i'm not going to spell check! )

Sounds like a lot of fun. Camping around the 4th here is INSANE to say the least! I think that every person from the Valley and everywhere else comes. But I am glad that you guys finally found a spot. How are you feeling? I loved the pic of your whole family together! I haven't seen all of your guys in such a long time. In fact I think last time I saw Brain he was just a pesky 6th grader or something like that and now he is married! Wow. time flies.
