Fourth of July Fun!

Matt and I went up to my grandparent's cabin in Lakeside to celebrate the Fourth of July. After a rocky start (only sleeping for one hour and then loading up the car at 2:30am so Cash would sleep during the trip) we arrived around 6:00 and were surprised to see that the entire gang was already awake... around 5:00am a bear came to visit in the backyard and got everyone a little excited, needless to say! Matt spent the day golfing with my uncle, grandpa and our brothers, while I stayed at home hanging out with the family. On Saturday, we held the 1st Annual Family Olympics! The Blue Team won the "The Shill Cup!" Of course Matt and I were on the winning team :) It is crazy how much fun you can have throwing footballs into pack n plays, seeing how far you can kick your shoe, playing volleyball, badminton and tug-a-war! Yes, we did all of those games in about 2 hours! Oh yeah, we also had a home run derby (sorry Blue team for letting you down on that one!) After the oympics,Matt and I loaded up the car with Cash and two of our favorite cousins and headed over to Taco Bell! As if that wasn't great enough, we jammed out to MileyCyrus and Taylor Swift the way there and back! ha ha I know, I need to be a 12 year old girl! That night we went down to Taylor for the 4Th of Ju-ly rodeo! I know July might look funny to some of you, but my family always laughs at how everyone there says it. Instead of July they say pronounce it like Jew Lie LOL! To our amazment little Cash Man was so well behaved a the rodeo. He loved looking at the horses and watching the fireworks! We always love going to the cabin in Lakeside and this is a trip we will never forget... mostly because we had 4 babies all sleeping in the basement with me, Matt and our siblings :) Sorry guys, hopefully next time Cash won't keep everyone up all night! It was a short trip, but oh so fun! Let's just hope the Blue Team can win the Shill Cup again next year ha ha!
