Kurt's rotation this month has been awesome! Lots of time off, so on this particular day we went to see Squires Castle. It was built by a very wealthy man back in the late 1800's early 1900's and was to be his gatekeepers home while his 'mansion' was being built but it never was and this 'castle' still remains.
This was Kurt's favorite room, the hunting library, where all their hunting tropies were displayed
We brought a picnic lunch and just sat out on the lawn in front of the castle and enjoyed the beautiful weather, it was a really good relaxing day spent together!
Kylan helped Marshall, we so she thinks, catch a wild rabbit and put it in this cage, she was obsessed! When we left she cried because she was worried it would miss her, unfortunately it got scared to death, literally.
We went to a really neat Discovery Center that had lots of fun things for the girls to explore, it was even fun for me!
It amazes me everytime the girls do something that they've seen me do over and over but I never realize they know how to do it, i.e. grocery shopping!
Outside the center there were all these cute little cottages/houses just kiddie size, they even had Goldilocks & the 3 bears cabin, very clever
We headed over to Palmyra on Friday and saw the sites and the Hill Cumorah pageant that night, unfortunately my camera isn't the best at night pictures but this was my favorite part, when Christ came to visit the people in the Americas, it was amazing how they portrayed it. Unfortunately alot of my time was spent wrestling with the kids but it was still a very neat experience. Thanks Angie!
McArthurs happened to be there the same night as well which was nice cuz it gave the girls something to do while waiting for the pageant to start! Lately the girls are obsessed with babies, McKartny mauled Jerzi the whole night.
Palmyra Temple from the Smith Farm
In the Sacred Grove, all I have to say is AMAZING!
Again The Sacred Grove, and behind us is what remains of a rock fence that is believed to have been there since the Smiths!
I remember jumpin on the trampoline with the sprinkler underneath all the time when I was little so we tried it out with the girls and they had a blast, and yes they are drinking the water :) 
Cousin It, or Kurt thinks she looks like the girl from the movie "The Ring"
I think she likes these shoes more than I do!
It was extremely hot so we did the best we could to stay cool!
We had a fun filled 4th with fireworks Friday night and a parade and bbq with friends on Saturday. The parade was pretty much a dud, but at least they came out of it with alot of candy!
Somehow McKartny managed to get 2 suckers unwrapped, one for each hand, that was quite the sticky mess to clean up!
When I took out her hair that night she had the cutest afro ever, hairstyle in the future? We'll see! 
Playin dress up in my shoes, always a popular past-time!
Our newest "thing" is wing night. Kurt has all of the sudden gone on a spicy kick so we went up to West Side Market and bought a big bag of chicken wings and Kurt talked to a guy at Buffalo Wild Wings and found out how to cook the things then we got some wayyyyyy good sauce and started to expirement! I must say, I think they are better Buffalo Wild Wings, and McKartny downed more than me!
We spend the majority of our time outside and Kylan spends 90% of that time on her bike, I think we're gonna be taking the training wheels off soon!
And of course it wouldn't be summer without lots of bumps and bruises, Kylan has a few to show off!
There was a tent with several train tables set up for the kids to play on, they could've stayed there all day if we'd let them!
