Rodeo and Zoo!!

I've been meaning to get this post up but just haven't found the time until now.  Two weekend's ago we visited the Hetrick family and were NOT short on entertainment!  It started off Friday night at a Rodeo in Gerry, NY.  It was Grant's first rodeo and after getting over the screaming fans, he enjoyed himself!!  The next morning it was another first for Grant as we were off to the Zoo. We all enjoyed it but it's a toss up between the train ride and sprinkler as to which was Grant's favorite.  See picture's below and you'll see what I mean.  What one little sprinkler can do for a kid!!!  Thanks so much for such a great weekend Hetrick's!!!!!

What we've been doin'

At the end of July we went to the Miller Family Reunion (Lara's Mom's side) at Jenny's house.  We had a great time with everyone.  Here is a pic of most of the crew.  I think a few little ones are hiding in the playset.  For those of you that were there, we will get this pic to you. 

Here are just a few pics of some of the little ones that were there.

We went camping at Lara's family's property along the river after the reunion.  It was a beautiful night to camp.  The next day we hiked and played in the river.  Grant held up for most of the hike.  As we were nearing the end I kept hearing, "ALLLLL DONE", from the backpack. 

As you can see by this pic, I am glad that we didn't bring the kayaks!  Although it was deeper in a few spots, we saw plenty of canoeists walking. 

The dogs enjoyed getting to run around.  Cooper was completely worn out.  Luna showed that she is no house dog and that she enjoys the great outdoors.

Grant definitely enjoyed the trip. He always says, "moon", and gets so excited to see it and the stars ("twinkles"). Lara and I realized he almost never sees them because he is in bed at 7:30. In the morning the crayfish were everywhere.  Grant called them "crabs" which I thought was a pretty good guess.
