This year for the 4th of July we took a trip with my family to Lander Wyoming. My mom grew up in Lander and when we were kids we would go and visit all the time and stay with my cousins who still lived there. We always had such great memories of Lander and all the fun things we did there. Which is kind of funny cause it is a tiny town with not much to do. The first thing we did was we did a little trek into Martins Cove. It was a great experience for us and the kids. Except about half way through it I noticed that Lexi was really dragging and acting really tired, so she needed to be carried the rest of the way. Part of the trek I had Dominic on my back and I was carrying Lexi in my arms.
As you can tell by the look on her face she is feeling terrible. She resorted back to taking the babies binkis which she has been off the binki for over and year, and she had to have her blanket wrapped around her which we were worried about since it was pretty hot. Well we left early from the trip since I was nervous about how she was acting, and when I got home I took her into the doctor and he told me she had a terrible and very scary kidney infection. I will have to blog that story another time it is actually quiet amazing. Prayers were answered..... But my mom made all the girls in the family Pioneer dresses which turned out so cute on the little ones. Over all great experience except for the stress I was feeling over Lexi.
Lander also has a man in their town who puts on an amazing firework show on his property. It was the best firework show I have ever been to and the kids absolutely loved every minute of it.
Then of course there is the Lander 4th of July parade which I remember growing up that it was the best parade of all time. And after going back I still feel that way. Every float the goes by throws out candy so all the kids run in the street and grab it. They also have all the firetrucks drive through and they soak the crowd with their hoses and it is a blast!! All the kids are running in the street as the fire truck just soaks them from head to toe. And the best part is it only last for about an hour. That is my kind of parade!!! And the kids loved it. I really think that Lander is one of the funnest places to spend the 4th of July. I am still waiting on some more pictures so I will post those soon.

You guys are so so cute! I love the pioneer outfits. What a great experience for your kids. I'm sorry your daughter was so sick-what a trooper! Loved your update and your pictures!
I have family that lives in Lander, Wyoming what a small world. I have an aunt, uncle, and cousins who live there.
I also know your Grandma great. She used to work at the egg farm in Lake Shore.
Wow it really is a small world.
