Swim Day, BBQ and more fireworks to send off our family

Oh man, I've to get caught up!

These sunny, summer day pics are making me feel very envious.  I cannot wait for beautiful, warm weather again!

We were able to hang out with the Morris crew again and go swimming at Marc and Kari's apartment and we had so, so much fun!

 There is nothing better than uncles and daddy's in the pool - no one can match the fun they bring.

 Rio, my little fish.  Love her!

 Andrew...c'mon.  It's not cold!  Actually he is just very protective of his skin so he's hiding from the sun.

 Little Blake having a blast.

 Marc & Rio

 Uncle Mike surrounded by all these cuties.

Posey fam

 Such a cute pic of Bonnie and 4 of her kids.

Later that day we had a little BBQ with everyone and did the rest of the fireworks we had.  The Gilbert and Posey fams were leaving the next day and we were so glad to send them off with a bang - haha

Blake

 We even got to play before it got dark.

Uncle Mike is often the "fire starter" and do you think the kids were excited?

Love this group!

 Oh no...the dog pooped!  Isn't that hilarious?  Who comes up with these things?

 After the show, we put the kids to work and had them sweeping up all the garbage.

They were more than happy to help.

Then...sadly, it was time to say goodbye and my sweet, little Rio hates this part.  She loves, loves her cousins and is always so sad to see them go.

 Yet, she still is able to manage a smile for the picture.  I just love how sentimental she is.  What a sweet girl she is.  She loves seeing Hayden and Brinlee so much.

And here is the boys (minus the 3 littles)

They have a blast together too and really play well together considering all their many personalities.

Love this handsome group of boys!


Wow!  What a fun group!
I'm so grateful for this Morris family.
