July Shipp Activities - 4th of July, Nauvoo trip, Salt Lake City trip

Been a while since we posted pictures. Here are some from our July activities, including pictures from the 4th of July (we watched the parade with Erik and Rachel Kingston and family - Jensen was in the parade with her swim team). Also have pictures of our 3 days trip to Nauvoo with the Chambers. Two of the kids are Chambers cousins (McKaylee and Chandra). We had a great time seeing the sites, playing the pioneer games, and watching the Nauvoo pageant. We also took the over 12 crowd to the temple to do baptisms. We have some pictures of our trip to Idaho and Susan's family's famous campground, Kennelly Creek. They have a creek next to the campground with water that is about 50 degrees. I challenged Jonathan and Nicholas to dunk their head in and they did it. Afterwards, all of the kids got their suits on and braved the cold water. I also posted a few pictures of the great house / cabin that we stayed in in McCall, Idaho, 2 hours north of Boise. I also put a few pictures in from our 3 days in Salt Lake City. We mostly hung out with Carl and Heidi Reed and family. We went and saw lots of church sites (Beehive and Lion House, went to the top of the Church Administration Building, saw the Joseph Smith movie in the JSB building, went to the primary exhibit in the Church History Museum, went to hear Music and the Spoken Word Sunday morning, etc.). We also visited Aunts Colleen and Kathy. Finally, I posted a picture of our baseball party that we had the day after returning from our trip out west. Our team went 13-1 and won our division.
