4th of July Weekend!

The Perham Gand headed to Pinetop for the weekend with the rest of the Perham Gang (chad's brother and his parents). We had so much fun and enjoyed the cooler weather. The boys did great on the car ride up and were bouncing all over the bed once we arrived at the hotel.

Cole and Carson bouncing around with their cousins Grace and Christopher. Later that evening we went out to dinner with the family.

Now comes the fun....

Saturday was a blast. We took Cole fishing!! The Perham Gang along with Uncle Gary and his family rented a pontoon boat for the 1st half of the day. Cole was so excited to go on a boat ride and to fish. He had his very own car themed fishing pole. Instead of a hook he had a rubber tire that he fished with. He probably had the most fun and had the least chance of acutally cathing anything!

Driving the boat with Uncle Gary.Fishing like the big kids!!

After fishing we headed back to the hotel for naps so we could get rested for the big night. We headed to Showlow/Taylor for a rodeo. The boys had so-o-o-o much fun and loved watching the cowboys bull ride, horse ride, barrel race and all the other fun stuff. After the rodeo were fireworks. We weren't sure how the boys would do but the loved it. Cole kept saying KaBoom when the loud ones went off. Cole also met a friend at the rodeo. Once the fireworks started she said "Cole, aren't they beautiful?". I thought that was the cutest thing. And indeed they were beautiful!
