One Down - One to Go!!!

The carseats are a little emptier today! Next week they will be really empty!! Much to Jacks' dismay his school days don't commence until next Wednesday!!
Here is my big Grade One-er! So excited to go today - I am so excited for her too! She loves to socialize! I told her she had to eat all her lunch because her brain needs the food to help it think....her response was "yeah like when I am trying to think of new games to play at recess"! Oh dear...


Here she sits, at her desk! Surrounded by BOYS (her favorite distraction)! That is going to be a PROBLEM - I am sure she will get moved - if not today - tomorrow!

Great Day with the Family!

Kids are loaded and excited to be going to Calaway Park (they've never been there before!)!
Didn't take long to start having a blast!


I am sure we hit every ride they could do ~ twice!

Dad even jumped on a few - had to fold those legs up a little though!!




We had a fantastic day! Definitely going back next year - thinking about the yearly passes for sure!

We're Back!


Well our camping weekend was fantastic! The weather, however, wasn't so wonderful! Inches of rain lead to a lot of time under tarps! As soon as we pulled the trailer into the campsite the rain started. It did let up a couple of times and the sun actually shone through the trees on occasion, but when my son awoke on Monday morning here at home the first thing he said was "sun?"!!! He hadn't seen it in so long he was shocked!

Tarp central! Making stew!
Washing the loader!

Trenching the water away from the sitting area! The cooler full of rain water - emptied 4 times!
She doesn't like her marshmallows cooked - just slightly warmed!
Playing in the rain! That tote was also filled and emptied 4 times!

We're Outta Here!

The Official Return to the Reunion starts today! We are making our way west to the Livingstone campground for a weekend of laughs with all the people we grew up with! Even with the nasty forecast ahead we are still pumped! That rain is nothing that a few tarps and layers of clothes can't fix! See you on Sunday night! Have a great weekend too!
