Enjoy!

#1 ◱ Monday Lois got to take Mikey and Kili to their swimming lessons.

#2 ◱ Kili doesn't mind being under water.

#3 ◱ Kili loves to float on his back.

#4 ◱ We had some friends over for dinner. They put on a style show for us.

#5 ◱ Pretty funky costuming.

#6 ◱ What is this?

#7 ◱ This dragon was ready to pounce on us.

#8 ◱ Lois loves watching the birds soar at Rosewold.

#9 ◱ Don and Lois installed the foam in the doorways. It said to fill it one/third of the way full. :-) Wonder why?

#10 ◱ Lois spent a lot of time sewing this week.

#11 ◱ Lois is probably collecting outfits for all the apostles and not just Jesus.

#12 ◱ Latia and Joseph's new Japanese Katana.

#13 ◱ Joseph has always loved Japanese swords.

#14 ◱ Now Joseph also owns a Japanese machete.

#15 ◱ Kili is enjoying the new bow and arrow set.

#16 ◱ Double archery anyone?

#17 ◱ Are they coming back from the hunt or going off to hunt?

#18 ◱ Joseph slaying blackberry vines.

#19 ◱ When Joseph and Ben were teenagers they were hired by a man to clean a hillside of blackberry vines. They did a great job.

#20 ◱ Joseph can still whack down those vines.

#21 ◱ And Joseph demonstrating the ability to cut down a branch with a single stroke.

#22 ◱ Mikey trying out the bow and arrows.

#23 ◱ Joseph brought in bales of hay.

#24 ◱ Latia trying out the bow and arrows.

#25 ◱ Rosewold and Joseph's newest weapons.

#26 ◱ A butterfly at Rosewold, but it wouldn't stay put for a closer shot.

#27 ◱ Akiko made pies for the 4th of July BBQ.

#28 ◱ Don't they look wonderful! Thank you Akiko.

#29 ◱ Doing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to see who gets to hit the pinata first, with Ron Williams and Shaun Parry.

#30 ◱ Ron Williams and Shaun Parry helping the children get ready for the pinata bashing.

#31 ◱ We didn't feel too bad hitting it since dinosaurs are already extinct.

#32 ◱ First they hit them with foam noodles so everyone would have a chance.

#33 ◱ Then we moved on to the foam bat.

#34 ◱ That did the trick and down it came with candy everywhere. Extra was thrown in and the kids loved that.

#35 ◱ Tia and her 4th of July outfit.

#36 ◱ Tia and her 4th of July outfit. As soon as she saw grandma with her camera out, she stuck a pose. :-)

#37 ◱ 

#38 ◱ Chubby Checkers Live on stage at the Light of Liberty Celebration in Springfield, Oregon. Shaun Parry is on the right in the white hat.

#39 ◱ Chubby Checkers in the middle. He asked the men to come up and dance.

#40 ◱ Each one got a turn. If you want to see a video go to link: https://youtu.be/3PYgz3jCBtc Shaun Parry did a great show.

#41 ◱ He looked like he was having fun.

#42 ◱ And he enjoyed watching Chubby Checkers who is 73 and still going.

#43 ◱ Then we watched fireworks. I discovered that my cell phone thinks it has to use a flash.

#44 ◱ That was annoying to me and probably annoying to those around me, so I only took two pictures.

#45 ◱ Meanwhile back in Laie, the kitchen is being demolished and replaced.

#46 ◱ Right now it's pretty ugly.

#47 ◱ 

#48 ◱ We'll see what it looks like in a week.

#49 ◱ The front porch is collecting.

#50 ◱ The sort of alignment of Venus and Jupiter.
