Our Tradition of spending Independence Day at the Cabin.

Always include
The Rodeo:
(Sitting smashed together with the Hunsaker Clan and eating yummy treats, cheering on the cowboys!)


Getting Dirty:
(In this case, playing in the mud in the front pond)

(And concluding in Tru loosing a shoe, in the bottom of the pond muck. )
Four Wheeler Rides:
(As we left, Tucker decided he’s going to start saving his money for a four wheeler, to drive in our driveway, and he’ll let Tru ride on the back. If they could’ve the boys would love to have spent the day exploring the cabin on these.)

Swimming:
(After being in California at the beaches, the boys loved to be in the hottub. Quite a different swimming experience!)

Napping:
(There is something soothing about sleeping/napping at the cabin in nature. It’s a wonderfully relaxing place to be!)

Horse back riding:
(Truman got really into Cowgirl this time. He helped Grams brush her down, and get her saddled up. Maybe he’ll by my little cowboy?)



(While the kids went a riding, Toph and Grandpa Hunsaker thought they’d empty out some of the mud from the pond, and look for Tru’s shoe, and miraculously it was found!)


Good Food:
(The fourth of July is a great time for BBQ’s, and the cabin is the perfect place to do it!)

And of Course Being Together as a Family:
(The boys are finally getting old enough to play big board games together. Here they are playing Checkers. They are a pretty even match for each other!)

(And Elliot continued to be the low key baby that he’s always been. So fun to be there with an easy going baby!)

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa for everything you do to make this tradition so much fun! I’m already looking forward to next year!
