Rhodehouse Construction Party!!!

On Saturday, June 28th, we had soooo much fun. First we woke up and got ready. Then the fun began. It was the INL Summer party and since Ryan now works there, we get to enjoy the benefits. We started off by having a BBQ which was really yummy, followed by a trip to Tauphus Park Zoo. Elly and Jordan just loved all of the animals, especially the monkeys (they were quite active!!!). After we trecked around the zoo, we were able to go to the Fun Land and ride the rides. It was very enjoyable, but VERY hot. (I'll try not to complain too much about the heat since it has been winter for so long here and because I know there are much hotter places I could be) After we finished with all of our fun there, we came home and put the kids down for a nap. After naps, we had even more fun. Aunt Julie, Uncle Ted, Cousin Joe, and Cousin Patrick came up from Texas to visit, and Grandma White Hair came down from Georgetown. We have a whole slew of people to play with. We met up with them at the annual Rhodehouse Construction Party, where we had a prime rib dinner and all the fixins' and all the dessert you could eat! It was a blast. The kids loved it because they had a jumping castle there to play on. We visited and enjoyed each other. Once it got dark, the fireworks began. Daddy got to help Uncle Mark put on the show. It was a busy but super fun day and we are so happy to have the Beavers here with us. We get to visit with them the whole week!!! YAY!
