Happy Fourth (like, a week ago)

I am almost caught up posting photos. Over Independence Day weekend, the LaMothes were here for a visit, and we had a fantastic time hanging out with them. We went to the zoo, played at their hotel's pool, and showed them the Epic campus. It was so much fun, but made me homesick for Minnesota!


Why is it so hard to get a decent family photo? Everybody just look at the camera and smile! Oh, well. Maybe when they're older.


I like this one of the boys, though. Chris was doing acrobatics behind me or something to get them to smile.


Darby peeks out of the turtle at the playground.


Despite the daredevil rides Casey went on at Verona Hometown Days, he still wouldn't ride an animal on the carousel.


Kind of odd expressions and not great lighting here, but I love Casey in Chris's hat.
