The Rest of June

Lots of pictures of the rest of June! It was a VERY busy month, lots of cousins and fun =)
 Emily was pretty lucky, she ended up getting 2 parties this year

 A baseball game with most of the kids
 Decorating tote bags

 Bean bag toss James & John

 James & John rigging something up...when I asked what they were making they said it was a trap for the big boys =) 

 Father's Day

 Bday 2 =)

 We got to go to Log Jam in Chippewa Falls.  It was like an old western town.  We saw a professional whip cracker.

 Inspired Jacob & Benji to try their hand at whip cracking.  They got the whips at one of the stores at the town.

 Joe & I found new western outfits =)
 Brothers
 Father & son chat =)
 Benji & Jake
 The girls with their mustaches with Curt



 Cousins
 In the midst of this, there was the garden.  Kind of.  Some radishes at least, some of it didn't come up too well this year, but as of now (July 22) we're getting a bit more--lettuce, beans & a few potatoes!
 Bow targeting
James shooting his kids bow--he hits the deer, but the bow isn't powerful enough for the arrow to stick so it bounces off =) 
It was a good month!

wow, fun bunch of pictures is right. Thanks for sharing!! It looks like the cousins had a memorable time together. Love Joes and Your western outfits, nice looking couple. Also, the whips, what fun for the two older boys. Must have been a really great day together. Emily's party #2, looks like fun. The tote bags, I wish we could have seen the, we need to be nearer so we see more of the fun. ♥
Then the ball game and the target practice and bean bag throw, a lot of fun for all the kids.

Wow! Fancy new western outfits! You'll have to call the police when you go out with those outfits on so that they don't arrest you guys for stopping traffic!! :)

Fun to see the cousin time together, too! Those will always be special memories for them. :)
