dan's mom's dad's family - still with me?- has a huge extended reunion every 4th of july in strawberry, az. {such a cute name} there's always a TON of people and the cabin is PACKED but it's fun to all be in the same place for a day or two and celebrate.
we drove home for church but i took the girls back up the next day- dan went to work. the time spent at the cabin after the reunion is my favorite because it's just moms playing cards and games all day long and all the kids run around together outside. i loved seeing madison come out of her shell and play alongside everyone else - she tends to normally be pretty shy in a group setting.
this blue rhino was hilarious. brayden took madison first and then madison took grace for a ride. we didn't get a picture of them looking at the same time, but grace was SO EXCITED! she was just clenching her fists, going tense, and squealing and laughing.
ok, madison HATES it when i try to do her hair - but she found some little hair ties, took them to dan's cousin, and asked her to put them in her hair. this was the result. and she left them in for hours! i was shocked.

the girls with grandma skinner
she's been working on her somersaults
madison does NOT like to get dirty but wanted to play in the sandbox SO badly. she didn't like touching the sand with her feet but eventually warmed up to the idea and dug around with the other kids.

thanks to my in-laws for helping me get up there, take care of the girls, and get me home, without dan. it's great to be part of such an incredible family!
