First, we had the birthdays. Every June we all get worked up because of Father's Day but we also look forward to Uncle Darrin and Grandpa Fry's birthdays (they are two days apart). This year we gathered at the Fry's home on a Sunday night for the annual festivities. As you can see, Grandpa was thrilled by the gifts he received from his children. We all got together and gave him a scroll saw and an airbrush. We don't know what he is going to do with them, but we think it may involve some sort of carnival attraction.
Next, Darrin and Grandpa commenced with their annual staring contest. It ended when Darrin realized Grandpa had fallen asleep with his eyes open again.
The kids were excited for cake and ice cream, and everyone loved grandma's yummy baking. No one even knew she had dropped her dentures in the batter until the last piece of cake had been cut. 
As you can see, Grandpa continues to work on his awesome train room. The kids enjoy it almost as much as he d
oes.(Below: Nathan hides a piece of cake while Amy looks on. Also, Miranda plays patty-cake with Dudley.)
We love to play games and a birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without breaking out a deck of cards. Great-Grandma cleaned almost every one out. Who knew she was an old pro at Texas Hold-em.

The other thing that happened was our big trip to Mammoth Creek. It was actually kind of a working vacation, as Nathan had to work on a big cabin insulation job. It was going to take several days so with the kids out of school we decided to all go along and have some fun. It worked out really well because there was a cabin just down the road that belongs to a friend of the boss that we stayed in.
We did a little hiking and fishing, both at Panguitch Lake and Duck Creek. Sometimes when you go fishing, you come home smelling a little funny. Well, luckily we didn't catch anything so we were OK smell-wise. I guess we did have our normal amount of smell. It was really fun. Amy was able to bait a hook with a night crawler and made several keen observations: "EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW, sick. I can't believe I just did that!" We brought walkie talkies and Landon and Miranda acted out one of their favorite sponge bob episodes (pictured above).
If you see this guy coming at you, run!

Preston had the most fun of all.
