So we started our day early and met up with Shane's mom and step dad and went on Ranger rides in the mountains. It was alot of fun. My kids love the Rangers and they can not go fast enough for Taelor the speed demon.
Braedon and Dawson chillin in the back.
Trying to catch frogs!
Taelor and her Omah collecting wild flowers.
Shane helped Dawson carve his name in a tree. (If you have ever seen Fern Gully you know what I mean when I say I felt it's pain.)
Opah helping Braedon get his name official.
Waiting to go again after we stopped for lunch.
Then we got home and had to swim of course. But only after I fixed Taelor's hair so dang cute she had to swim and mess it up. :(
Then the rain started about 6:00 right after we got done with the BBQ. It first started to rain lightly then a huge down pour and then hail for about an hour!!!! I mean really!! I have never seen it hail for so long or so hard. It was nuts!
This is out on the back porch. It had only been hailing for maybe 10 minutes when I took this picture.
The kids got out their big wheels and took a few rides in the river in the front of the house.
Braedon thought his bike worked better.
Little miss complete with her umbrella
After about 2 hours the storm left as quickly as it came leaving behind a lot of mess. There was the brightest rainbow I have ever seen. My camera did not do it justice.
Then on with the fireworks. It was a great evening with crzay weather. It was fun to have family and friends over to celebrate our country. I hope you all had a great 4th also.
