Time at Bear Lake over Father's Day was one of the highlights!
Lil and I spent some time raking up a little algae so we wouldn't come out green after a swim :)
At the end of each day the kids were rosy cheeked and ready for bed.

unwanted help :D
Back home to Monroe & all cleaned up!
We had a great experience at Fantastic Sam's!
Viv's new do
Dass donated her hair like big sister Lil- I knew it'd only be a matter of time.
Now Olivet has the longest hair in our family!
She's the only one who needs a little hairband everyday to disguise her self-inflicted bangs :).
Brodes all trimmed up.
We were so glad we got up early and drove a little ways to attend our first "Breakfast on the Farm!"
Helpers were here early scrambling those eggs!
Each year one farm from each county is chosen to host the dairy breakfast. We enjoyed some AWESOME fresh food,
A Country Music Band
And lots of animals!
the petting zoo was pretty fun
Dass especially loved the close up animal encounters
There were lots of little kittens in a box that daddy helped the kids hold :)
In each of these pictures near the cows, someone is plugging their nose! Pew!
I can't imagine this lifestyle- working in view of this landscape every morning...
back to the kitties
And no, though it was requested, Hadassah didn't get to keep one for her birthday!
Brody enjoying the cake
Happy 6th Birthday Dass!
We LOVE u!
