4th of July

I was so excited for all the happenings in July that I forgot to blog.  So here is me back tracking.

For the fourth of July weekend, Megan and Ryan invited us to Ryan's family cabin up at Shaver Lake (kinda near Fresno).  We drove up Friday night and got to the cabin in time to find a tarantula in the tub!  The boys insist it wasn't a tarantula just a really large spider... but they were both scared of it too, and it wouldn't drown!  I had some dry heaves over that one.  After we got over our scare we decided to stay up all night playing games :) 

This is the cute cabin and the crew

When we finally got our butts up and moving we headed out for a hike.  Megan brought her bug proof head net, lol.  I enjoyed it too, haha

The scenery was gorgeous and the weather was just a little hot.  

 We did go through the largest swarm of lady bugs I ever thought possible.  Josh made friends with them and had about 7 landing on him at a time... this is how we found out that lady bugs bite! EWW... and everyone thinks they are cute and harmless, don't be fooled.

We brought lunch and ate it right here by the river.

On the way out Megan wanted to show us all how to get through the thick mud.  I believe she said "Just go like this, Boop, Boop, Ughh" as she sunk into the mud up to her shins!! I almost peed my pants.

The next day we went to the lake to see the fireworks show.   

Thanks Megan and Ryan for the great trip full of laughs and memories!
