Ward Family Swim Party

  As I was sitting in the blistering heat watching my kids do swim lessons I text Heather and Zach and told them we should rent the pool a day.  Cayleb and Jordan were getting sod on Saturday so we decided to do it after putting their sod in and decided to invite the rest of the family too.  First of all Cayleb, Troy, Chase, Heather and Zach got Caylebs lawn put in, sheet rock taken down stairs and even ate breakfast all by 9:30 a.m.!  They were so stinking speedy!!!  Cayleb even gave us some of his extra sod and got that put in all before swimming!
  We decided to just put the girls in life jackets and let them go wild!  They had so much fun!  Grandma JoAnn was not far enough out from her eye surgery so she didn't get to play in the water again this year!!  The kids got into the pool by 12:30 and we had to drag them out 4:45, needless to say they slept great and slept in the next morning.  It was so much fun, thank you to all who were able to make it so last minute!

Ethan and Chase

  Apparently the sun and fun wore Chase out!!  Ethan had fun for a little bit but got hit in the eye with one of the floaties and it scratched his eye :(

   Kooper was very entertaining with his slide skills

3 Weeks Old

  These puppies are growing like weeds, seriously it is so crazy how fast they are growing!!!  They have found their voices this week!  The little girl is the talker, the boy is more chill.  They are starting to play with each other and are walking pretty good now.

Bear World

  Zach and I invited Gary and Sally to join us for a trip to Bear World.  They were not 100% sold but after being there they realized just how amazing it was and got season passes!  We all LOVE Bear World and had a great time as always!  The girls loved having Grandpa and Grandma there to show around.  We lucked out and there was lots of babies to see!  Out in the park there were 6 new baby fawns (they were all hiding) but we did see 2 on our last drive through the park, a baby Elk, a baby Mountain Goat, and 2 baby Moose.  In the petting Zoo there were 2 fawns,  baby ducks and a baby goose.

First Drive Through 

 In The Park

  Someday I'm going to feed one of these cuties!!  The baby bears are always so fun to watch!!!  I love watching them play and shove each other off of the branches.

 This poor guy got a little rough when itching his horns and broke one.

Curator Tour

  This is always my favorite part of Bear World.  I love feeding the bears and how they sit on their bums and beg for the food.  It is so funny how some of them will just open their mouths and wait for you to throw the food in.

 All the babies were so cute

 The Grizzlies

 The 1 year olds

 This is Potter and he is hairy ;)
Kabree LOVED this bear because she has been reading the 1st Harry Potter book

 The Rides

  The girls could have went on the rides for hours!  Kabree is lucky Grandma Sally loves rides as much as she does.  They had so much fun doing the rides and we literally did let them go on them for over a hour.

 The Petting Zoo

  I'm not a huge fan of the petting zoo but the kids LOVE it!  It was kind of fun that we ran into our friends from school, the Williams'.

Look who we found at Bear World!!!  It's Drey!!!
