It was a little chilly that day. Everyone else wore their coats. I am not sure what my problem was, but I was really cold.
We took this picture while waiting for the trolley. We looked at a statue of a miner and some old mining equipment.
Michael took this picture of us with his camera, which is why we look a little smooshed and my head is kind of cut off.
These are the best kids in the world. I know I am very biased, but I think they are great!
Picture of all of the grandkids at Greg and Michelle's farm.
Below is a picture of just the grandsons. They are definitely more of them, but the girls have had some new additions in the last two years.
This is a very steep hike and the kids were awesome. the girls were always ahead trying to get us all to hurry up.
This is her new bike from Grams and Grandpa. They were in town until just before her birthday when Uncle Ryan had surgery. She got to have it a few days early and loves to ride it.
Grandpa our family expert on bikes was available to get everything adjusted and ready to go.
We had lots of good food and a delicious cake for her birthday. She had fun playing with her cousins that were able to come.
On our way to the Higbee Family Reunion in Oregon in July, we stopped at my Grandma and Grandpa Patton's house. It was so wonderful to see them. Luckily, Michael got some pictures of that day. We are so grateful that they let us come and stay and even though it was a short visit, it made all the driving to Oregon worth it!
This is a priceless picture to me. My kids love Grandma and Grandpa Patton and it was wonderful to take them to the home where I enjoyed so many wonderful visits as a little girl. They loved the back yard and run around it while we were there.
The kids with their Great-Grandpa Patton. I feel so blessed to be his granddaughter. He is such a kind and loving grandpa and I love his hugs.
This picture and the one at the very top are of my boys in the tree in the Patton's backyard. I was there when this tree was brand new. It was fun to see my kids climbing in it so many years later, just like my brothers and sisters did over the years.
We went out to dinner on Friday night and the girls went with Grandma Patton and Auntie Karen. Laurel commented that "they were going in style." Thanks Auntie Karen for giving them such a fun ride! 
Jonathan decided to use the girls' flowered rain boots to explore the backyard. These matched so well with his muscle man shirt that says, "I Love Danger" and his shorts.
Auntie came for a visit and we had so much fun. Evan is very teary eyed. He does not like it when Auntie leaves. He has such a sweet heart. He even cried last Thursday when we left for CA and he had to say good-bye to his dad. 
Jonathan loves his Auntie too. We love spending time with Auntie and wished she lived closer!
The kids went to Grandpa Hickman's grave for Memorial Day. It was a beautiful day and the cemetary had a lot of flowers everywhere.
Brothers and sisters who love each other. This is what I like to see!
