2016 Talley Family Vacation

In July we did our annual Talley Family Vacation!
First we celebrated the 4th of July (on the 3rd) with a barbecue and fireworks.
All the cousins, except Emily, Alec, and Zach playing in Grandma's backyard.



Girl Pyramid!

The little kids decided to join in! Krew is on Dash and Jake is on Layla (;


Mayra, Stefanie, Kellie, Kyrsten, Grandma Collette and Dianne-just missing Darcy.

 Fireworks
Dash, Liam and Parker (in daddy's awesome big chair)


I love this picture of Gabrie and Ashlyn!

The next day we headed up to Bear Lake.

Liam playing in the sand/gravel. 
 All the girls
 Dash
 Livvy
 Luke and Livvy taking the jet ski out for a run - even though Luke wasn't supposed to be riding them because of his Achilles... (I guess this was part of his "fast tracking" himself for recovery)
 Sammy and Livvy
  The boys are ready for a ride! (if I remember right, Liam liked it more than Dash)
 On the boat

  Gabrie loved tubing, but was so sore the next day and had rug burns on her legs 
from rubbing on the tube
Dash and Liam warming up on the beach. 

Me, Mayra and Darcy chatting while the kids played at the park (oh, and Jake snacking)


Swimming at the pool.
After watching the adults play for years the kids finally got their own Candy bar game!
 Face Painting
Minute to Win it games
 And of course they did a play! We love these kids but not always their plays.
 Sleeping on the pull out bed, Liam on top of Dash, hahaha!

Finding shells
 Unfortunately we didn't think to take this picture until after Darcy, Shane, Emily, Alec and Zach left so they are missing. 

Summer Time!

Our last field trip for preschool was supposed to be to the farm, but rain and sickness prevented us from going, so we postponed it until June. The boys would ask me everyday if we were going to the farm so it was good to go so they would stop asking me!

Preschool Buddies now almost 1st graders, Kaden and Livvy.

Swimming Lessons
This was Dash and Liam's first lesson, they were so cute and pretty brave (Dash was a little too brave). They loved their teacher Izzy and talked about her constantly. Pictures are kind of fuzzy but they are the best I could get before they told me I wasn't allowed to take pictures!

 All of the kids after their lessons.

Playing at Blackridge Reservoir
