More from our trip to Oklahoma

We took a week long trip to Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. We camped the first night in Colorado at a beautiful lake.
Korbin and Kristen sit and relax by stream.
Here we are posing with the Hall family. Scott is my second cousin. His grandpa (Darrell Brinkerhoff) is my dad's brother.
Korbin and Kristen pose with friends from the Stockton ward in Missouri.
We stopped in Oklahoma to visit my Aunt Irene (my dad's sister) and Uncle Jack. We had a wonderful time getting to know them better. We spent the night with them and enjoyed their beautiful log house, 25 acre farm and lake. They were so kind to us, cooking wonderful meals and giving us a comfortable place to sleep. We were so sick of hotels that we felt truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.

4th of July Celebration

We had a nice 4th of July at home. Picnic, frisbee throw, and fireworks. Kristen and Karl fight over the frisbee but Joshua says it's his.
Kacey lights the fireworks and put on a very nice show for us all to see.
We all sat around on the driveway and watched the fireworks. After each one we all clapped and said "Yay. daddy!"
Joshua loves all the attention!

Korbin's Homecoming

Alison, Alissa, Kristen, Amy, Emma and Liz visit in the family room after most of the crowd had left.
Jeff, Dave, Karl and Amelia have a fun visit together.
