Today was a day we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. We started early ( 10 AM ) and didn’t leave until after 4 PM. 6+ hours of eating, walking and ![IMG_5138](https://storage.ghost.io/c/37/53/3753a80f-8fde-4050-bece-f7bceee6e14c/content/images/2014/08/IMG_5138-768x1024.jpg)8/IMG\_5138-768x1024.jpg)\](/content/images/2014/08/IMG\_5138.jpg)

We washed them down with a beer for Braden and frozen Mike’s Hard Lemonade for the girls ( exclud![IMG_5162](https://storage.ghost.io/c/37/53/3753a80f-8fde-4050-bece-f7bceee6e14c/content/images/2014/08/IMG_5162-768x1024.jpg)8/IMG\_5162-768x1024.jpg)\](/content/images/2014/08/IMG\_5162.jpg)
