The Perfect Record

I mentioned that James is playing softball this summer. I thought I would tell you the results so far. During the regular season they had a perfect score of 0-12 (they lost every game). They are playing in the C bracket tournament (for the worst teams) and had their first game last night. Guess what? THEY WON! I felt like I was witnessing a B rated Disney movie. GO TEAM REMAX!

Close Encounter with a Rattlesnake

Today, my family and I went hiking around just outside of Lander and as we were hiking, Sarah jumps and says, "There is a rattlesnake!". There it was, just coiled up in the sun. I wish I had pictures, but unfortunately our camera battery died just before we saw it. Dad decided to play Steve Irwin and got a big stick and held the snake's head down to make it rattle, which was really neat! Then he eventually picked it up right behind the head and made it bite the stick so that we could see its fangs and venom! What an adventure! We were much more careful with where we stepped from then on!

Happy 4th of July!

The 3rd and 4th of July is easily my favorite holiday! I am convinced that the best 4th of July celebration EVER is in Lander, Wyoming. Here are a few pictures.

Before the Bill's Family Fireworks on the night of the 3rd of July, we cooked fajitas over the fire-pit.

Each year we go to the best fireworks show brought to us by our local Bills family. There is a war reenactment, narration, and fireworks that are choreographed to music. Each year it gets better and better!

And finally....the FIREWORKS! The pictures don't do the show any justice, so you will just have to come and see for yourself. It is worth it!
