Tess Hawley Memorial Concert! 7/14/2012

 It took a little while for Darian to warm up once we got to the Moose.  He was pretty tired from swimming, and acted pretty shy!
 At least until grandma Tia gave him a bag of candy!
 Then he started to get some energy and wake up! :)
 Dancing with Nana and Great grandma Ann Wicker!
 Popcorn break!
 Watching the band!
 'The Locals'
 Paps ROCKING!
 Doug and Ann having some fun!


 Darian wanted to get up on stage and play, but would only do it with me, so during once of their breaks, we rocked a short set for the people!

 He looked so cute up there with his electric and short microphone stand!  He sang his little heart out!
 Guitar solo!
 We started out playing 'Pumped Up Kicks'
 Then we played, 'Little Lion Man'
 I think he was telling everyone our band name...Rotten Johnny!
 Then Paps came up and we played,  'I Hear you Knocking'!


 What a little ROCK STAR!



Getting ready to end our set with a big jump!  John, the bassist, came and joined us too!  Dee thought that was so cool!  What a great time!

Late Birthday swim party at Grandpa Mike's! 7/14/2012

 We had a great time at Grandpa Mike and Grandma Becky's on Saturday!  We had a little late birthday swim celebration.  Most of the Moyer kids were in attendance, so Darian had a great time swimming and playing with everyone!
 Opening a present from Mamaw and Papaw!

 Grandpa Mike showing Dee the thermometer!

 Darian learned to swim by himself with his life jacket on!  He was so proud of himself!

 Really keeping with mouth closed! :)
 Making it to the wall!
 Dee really likes Kiersten!  He said she was his girlfriend! hehe.  Too cute!
 Dee and Kolin
 The clan!



 Darian and Aunt Deb
 Opening some more presents!
 Time to eat!

Playing with Grandpa Mike, and looking pretty tired!  He had so much fun!

4th of July camping at Ouabache State Park!! 7/04-08/2012

 We spent 4 wonderfully HOT days at Ouabache State Park (pronounced Wabash), located just east of Bluffton, IN!  It was only our second trip with our new camper, and our first time at this really nice state park!  We had lots of visitors on this trip too, which was so much fun!!
 Luc and Katie were our first vistors.  They came and stayed with us Wednesday night, and hung out most of the day on Thursday! Dee helped Luc get a fire going!
 Getting ready to cook some bacon on the fire!





 Breakfast!  And we were already sweating!
 Especially me!  If I wouldn't have eaten so much, I probably would have lost a lot of weight from constantly sweating!
 Taking a little hike!

 Heading off to the woods!!
 Darian thought he was such a big boy since we let him ride his trike by himself!
 We were at the very back of the campground, so the road wasn't busy!

 Dee sweats like his daddy!  Not quite as bad though...
 There was a really nice paved bike trail that we rode several times!



 Then we climbed the 10-story Fire Tower!  Katie stayed below.
 Really nice views.  We could see the Bison ranch in the distance!
 My HOT sweaty family!
 Heading back down!

 Dee played in the water a bit to cool off!

 Fun times with good friends.
 Looking a tad bit tired.
 Heading to the pool!
 Awww...sweet relief! 
 Luc and Katie relaxing by the pool!
Gearing up for a big splash!
 Nice air!
 The water slide was so much fun!





 Dee and mommy getting ready to ride the slide!
 WHEEE!!!!


 Sweet corn! YUM!
 Exhausted!

 :)
 Good morning Josh and Emma!
 Looks like we just woke up!
 Carrie and Darian
 Dee playing games on his tablet while Josh does Em's hair!


 Cereal bars!
 The ladies cooking us some breakfast!
 Tire swing!


 Emma was pouting!




 "Did I get all my sunscreen rubbed in?"  "Yes Josh...you did!"
 Pool time again!!  We spent as much time at the pool as we could!  It was FUN!
 But made us TIRED!
 Saturday evening there was a bike parade, led by Smokey the Bear!
 Dee and I went to get some ballons for his bike trailer!
 Ready to roll!
 Smokey was in the air conditioned fire truck.  He didn't get out.  I didn't blame him.



 Here we come!

 There we go!
 SMOKEY!

 Late evening hike with the pups!
 We let Darian walk Hubble most of the time!  He loved it!
 The whole family!


 Getting packed up to head home!
 Looking tired, but ready for one final bike ride before we left the park!
What a great mini-vacation in our new camper!
