Oh my July just went by...

Ok so this is one of many posts in playing catch up....
June ended with a trip to a lake in Emmett Idaho with my ward and two my cousins. Marianne, (the one holding the baby) decided to let her foot get hit by the propeller, so she got a nice little cut on the top of her foot and it was swelling fast. After debating what to do we went to a doc in the box...PS they don't have one in Emmet that is open on the weekends. So the next best thing was the ER in Emmett after debating if it was worth a trip to the ER we decided to just go home and let my dad take care of things so off to Boise we went. Dad said that just to be sure she should get it checked out after a trip to the doctor, it was concluded that there were no broken bones just a nice little gash that he glued shut.

July started with the family reunion... This picture is of the cousins who are closest to my age, besides the baby who is my cousins kid. We had a blast spending time together at a 4-H camp in Cascade right on the lake. It was beautiful and a blast! My cousin Nathan tried to help me get up on the wake board and all that came of that was him getting hit with the board in the stomach and loosing his sunglasses. You'd think after all that trouble I would at least get up... Thanks Nathan for the help one day I'll be able to get up! One of the little traditions include late night games and late late night games(after all the little kids are in bed...we love the little ones but the snacks come out after they are in bed :). The first night we had like a bag of cookies for treats, but when you have like 20-25 people playing games til 2 you get hungry so the announcement was made the next morning for donations. After all was said and done a couple of us girls ran to McCall (ok we drove not ran) and spent a good $150 on...JUNK FOOD!!! I know it is quite gross, but it lasted us for like 3 days and we even had afternoon snacks for the kids. And we had Dr. Pepper to keep us awake on those late nights along with candy and snacks... yeah about my diet it went out the window that week!!! My cousin Jason taught me and my grandmother to play Texas Hold 'em, yeah my grandma beat me! Then there were the endless Nerts games, Mormon Bridge, pirates dice, and even some Thirdeen. All in all if you didn't have fun it was probably your own fault for not joining in on something!
Then that weekend we went off to swim at my aunts house for the 4th of July and had some nice little fireworks and off to "bed" we went. With four girls sleeping on air mattresses in the kitchen I don't know how much sleep we actually got. :) Then Saturday was off to boondocks fun Center for a little go-carting, and lazer tag and last but not least the arcade games. With our tickets we decided to get "cousin bracelets" I know we are kinda weird but we had fun! That pretty much sums up the first week of July...
