alison and her six children come to town aka where in the heck did the week go?

starting the 4th of July with a climb up Mount Olympus

(thanks to Liz for the hike photos)

 as the day winds down girls hang out

while boys play baseball

here's a girl who wants to play

irresistible boy

a cheerleader

 surprise visit from daddy

 no way is her purse getting ripped off this time

 forever "Pretty Cute"

soon we are off to see fireworks

perched up on the wall for with bubble gum

 a birthday visit on the 6th

 my daddy tending his crops

 76 years old

 an early morning temple visit on the 7th

our very first visit to this particular temple

the perfect way to start the day
