Pioneer Day part 2

I was looking through my pictures and noticed I forgot to add pictures from what we did on Pioneer day. (The family festival we went to on the previous post was held on the saturday before Pioneer day)

We decided to spend the day how summers were meant to be spent, swimming and having a BBQ.

Nixon needed a pre-swimming nap before he could join in on the fun

 Lance's brother had bought a BBQ the night before and he asked Lance if he would start putting the BBQ together until he got home from work to help him. Sadly the BBQ was a little more complicated then Lance anticipated and he couldn't join us swimming.

I realize this is a 4th of July outfit Nixon is in but it looks so cute on him and I felt it was still appropriate to wear for this holiday.

Mother son photo shoot. I have to take advantage of these photo shoots while he still lets me. :)

 though by the look of these photo's you might think he wasn't having as much fun as mom was

Nixon's 3 year old cousin Ben has been showing Nixon how cool trains are. Also I think his Aunt Megan would love if Nixon developed a big love for trains so she can give all the train stuff they have to us when Ben no longer cares for them.   which might be a while :)

 I'm loving these beautiful, warm summer days with family. Summer is going by way to fast!
