Cousins at the Cabin

I know I'm a little bit late on this one, but here's what we did over the 4th of July weekend.  Brett's parents are building a cabin up Spanish Fork Canyon, so we camped there on Friday night in order to help build on Saturday.  On Friday night we had a big birthday dinner for Brett's sister Jamie who turned 18 on the 5th.  We played games and had a huge number of people there to celebrate.  On Saturday morning we got to work on the cabin.
All of the main floor windows were installed and some other minor adjustments were made, but the boys did a good job!  We got to see some family that doesn't live in Utah, including Kennedy's cousin Nick.

Nick is 2 months older than Kennedy, but lives in California, so they don't get to play much.  They sat down together on this wood pile though, so everyone had to whip out their cameras.
Of course, Kennedy had to put on her cheesy smile as soon as she saw the cameras.  She can't help herself.  That night we headed to Santaquin for the annual block party and fireworks.  It was windy and cold and started pouring before we really got going, but Kennedy loved the fireworks she did see.  She clapped every time she saw one.
Yes, her mouth is blue from treats.  I couldn't tell because it was so dark.  All in all we had a great time with family, had some great food (including Snickers Salad!) and were exhausted when we got home.
