she was so worried about getting dirty that first night.
Such a girl.
Grandma came out for dinner the first night, since Grandpa was off fishing the Kasiloff. She brought yummy food, and even hiked down to the river with us. 
I love this kid. He is such a joy, and just wants to be a good kid. The middle child can be a very difficult place to be, but he makes it look easy and effortless. Gabe recently started cub scouts, and has had so much fun. He has earned his bobcat, is half way to earning his wolf, and has about 3 arrow points already earned as well.

We finally got Libby back in the water to retrieve a stick, but she would only touch the water with three legs at a time. So, you can see her one leg out of the water, and she is practically tip toed in the water.

We drove over to Wonderland Park to watch the fireworks the night before July 4th. (tradition out here, and in Eagle River too). We drove through and got some ice cream and then parked to watch the show. It was really pretty good. And just so you know, these pictures were taken at about midnight. (we are, after all, the land of the midnight sun. not just a myth folks!)
Swingin' on the swing while we waited for the parade to start up.
Still waiting with the kiddo's for the parade to begin. We go every other year, and the kids love waiting for the parade to pass by. They always get a bag full of candy, and love seeing the different cars and floats. This year we sat with some friends from the ward. (actually we had about a block of just LDS people, which made it interesting, and very quiet when the bible thumps came through with their pamphlets and handouts.
Hooray for our brave men and women who defend our freedoms!
Morgan steering the ship.
Chandler and Bear looking for some fish to catch. Good luck buddies. Not only is this river glacier fed, but the dog kind of scares away any little fishies.
Our little water girl. She got a little too wet, and was warming up in daddy's camp shirt.
The kids had SO much fun with this floaty. It was a pirate ship and totally worth the $28 we paid for it at Target.
We drove down to Gorilla Fireworks to buy our contraband's for the evenings festivities.
Matanuska River.
Our family (plus one of Morgan's friends) waiting for the parade to come by.

That bat-mobile, I can't believe it is sitting out in front of the firework building. I remember that from my childhood going out to Wasilla. Love the family pics. Very cute and festive!
