Happy Birthday Allen!

Cub Scout Family Camping Trip!

The kids playing cards at our campsite.

This weekend we went on the Pack 255 Family Camp Out. We invaded the Stockton KOA and had a blast! The kids are a fun age when they can buddy up with friends and explore. Saturday morning Rachael and I joined our friends Andrea and Holly to help with the tie-dyeing activity. Allen and the other kids rotated through tie dying, badminton, fishing, hiking, outdoor cooking, and kickball. A fun but exhausting day! A huge thank you to Den 5 who shared meals and made the weekend even more fun only having to cook one meal.

Here I am wishing I was in a hammock with a book...

Summer Vacation!

First day of summer vacation and the kids were awake at 6:30 A.M. on their own. Well school's out for the summer! Rachael is now a 6th grader and Ethan a 4th grader! Now it is time for playing in the park, swimming, sleepovers with friends and sleeping in. Ethan went to a birthday party tonight (Happy Birthday Daniel) and Rachael helped a Girl Scout Troop bridge to Juniors.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day. This morning we made Allen breakfast and gave him cards that the kids created. We had a relaxing afternoon barbecuing, hanging out by the pool with our friends the Benson's while the kids swam in the chilly pool. I realized after the kids went to bed that we did not take any pictures. I will need to take some this week. The kids have two days left of school!

Friday was a busy day!

Friday Ethan's class walked to the community pool to swim. They ate their lunch in the shade of the trees then had a great time on the two story slide and high dive board. In the meantime Rachael's class had a "movie" day. She saw a double feature with a pizza lunch as intermission. I think she saw The Princess and the Frog and Monster 's Inc (Shaggy Dog was the other feature). Then we headed over to our friends the Bernales for a bbq shabbat dinner before heading to the Drive-In to see Toy Story 3. Rachael's friend Julia's family met up with us at the Drive-In and fun was had by all.

The girls were messing up Ethan's hair for a picture on their DSi's...

Where's Katie?

Try to find Katie in the picture. She found a spot to dry off while she watches us swim. Katie is very happy we are swimming everyday now.

Happy Day!
