Anything With Wheels

Posted in: family,Summer

IMH_8255It’s a bird, it’s a plane…wait no…it’s Hudson with a rocket.  Spending the weekend in Salt Lake with family was nothing short of exciting.  We took a couple of hours one day building rockets and launching them out of the backyard.  Hudson and I built a rocket together.  Ours took 60 psi off the launch pad resulting in a smooth flight which came to an unfortunate, abrubt ending a couple of houses down.  It remains MIA, but it was fun while it lasted.

The boys all took turns trying to ride anything in the garage with wheels.  Too bad Hudson and Will didn’t get very far before they lost a wheel.

Hudson seemed to have fun even if the attachment to the go cart never went anywhere.

Uncle Dan even gave the Vespa a go.

The girls on the other hand hung out in the house playing games or relaxing in the backyard.  Notice Annie’s make-up courtesy of her older cousins who she absolutely adores.

You may be wondering why we all gathered.  The cute little niece sitting across from me at the table decided to get baptized.  We were all so happy that she has made such a big decision.  On a side note:  You may wonder what we are all looking and grinning at.  The boys were chasing chickens around the backyard.  Every good American family needs a few chickens for the backyard, right?

After the whirlwind trip we had to stop for cheese on the way out of Utah.  Who doesn’t love a really good sqeaky cheese?

    Your blog is so fun to read! I love the photos! They really catch the moment. We missed hanging out with you guys on the Fourth this year! It looks like you had a blast with your family. I love Annie’s little brown strappy sandals!
