That's SOME pig!

 My dad has a cool family in the area with a giant pig.  Her name is "Porkchop", but she managed to elude becoming dinner.... so far!  We went out to visit her and took along some goodies.  Apparently she enjoys donuts and root beer.
 Katie was impressed.

Porkchop thought we should have brought better donuts.

But she was willing to hang out and sample.

Then she decided a bath would be more fun.

Did I mention she is about 600 pounds of pig?!

Rylee wanted to ride the pig, but settled for this.

 Rylee enjoyed seeing her cousin Samantha as well.

Family BBQ

 Deborah and her family and Andy and his family were all at Mountain Home together with us.  So we had a BBQ!  There was a lot of yummy food and cousins running all over.  It was nice to sit and visit and eat and enjoy.

 Callie is taking one of her little cousins down the zipline.

 Grandpa manned the grill.

Aaron declared it all to be delicious.

It was cute to see these girls hanging out and eating together.

Andy took a turn on the grill too.

And seeing these kids chatting away, discussing all sorts of things that kids do.... ah, it melts my heart.

 Rylee on the Zipline.

 The running and shrieking ad giggling from these two was fairly entertaining.



Callie liked helping baby Hailey.

I sure do love these folks!


These kids


 It was so sweet seeing these two hanging out together.

 Marian had such a fun day she couldn't even stay awake for FHE.

Delaney loved holding her sweet cousin Hailey.  Put her right to sleep.  I just loved that Hailey still had a grip on the My Little Pony.

Visiting Andy's House

 We spent a few days at my brother Andy's house.  I left the camera in my bag most of the time, which is sad, because the kids had a great time playing with their cousins.

 Cobb, the snake was a big hit.

Rylee has a snake mustache.


One happy Rylee.

Aunt Kera broke out the face painting kit and Delaney had a marvelous time painting faces.

She did a great job on Emma.

And she made Rylee a kitty!
