4th of July and Family

We had a great 4th of July! We were lucky enough to have my brother, Russ, and his family up. They just moved back to Idaho after being gone a very long 10 years! It is GREAT to have them back. We also had Grandma and Grandpa Mayes and Aunt JuJu here. Jared and I had a wedding to go to in Twin on Friday, so we were up at 4:30 in the morning getting ready. We then proceeded to wake the rest of the family up to go to the hot air balloons in Driggs. Like always, that was great fun. Mom was nice enough to stay home with Logan and Quinn (10 months) so the rest of us could enjoy. McKinlee loved the balloons as did the rest of my nephews, Espen, Jacob, and Zach. Jared and I left from the balloons straight to Twin. We went to the wedding and were back in Victor by 5:00. Long day, but still fun. Our next door neighbors rented one of those bouncy things for the kids of the neighborhood to play in, and McKinlee spent most of the evening in that. By the time it was dark enough to do fireworks, she was asking to go to bed. We then went fishing with everyone on Saturday and we brought home a HUGE haul of fish. McKinlee did her 'wiggle' dance whenever we caught a fish, and yes, it was the cutest thing EVER. Logan slept in the stroller for the whole time (like usual). On Sunday we actually went over to Jackson with Russ and his family....I know, not a very 'Sunday' type thing to do, but at least we were with family, right?! We ate, shopped and went down the Alpine Slide. Great, fun day! Monday Russ and his family left, but what is nice is that I know I will see them soon!! It's no longer just once a year we are able to get together. On Tuesday my little sister Sonia came up to visit. She is going to have a baby in September....it sucks she lives in Phoenix! It was great to be able to see her, but super sad to see her go!
As you can tell, it has been a very busy week, but lots of fun! Here are some fun pictures of the activities.
