The Campout

The boys had their first campout in the backyard this summer. As you can see from the clouds, it was one of those afternoons/evenings that the storm clouds were here to stay. But once you've told two three year olds they are having a campout and they've been asking everyday for a week how many more days, hours and minutes til the campout....there would be a campout rain or shine. And there was rain. Lots of rain. But it ended with a beautiful rainbow. 

Here are Kris and Grady setting up the tent that Kris and his family used 30 years ago. 









Eating the hot dogs inside! Too rainy out there!





S'mores. 










When it was about time for bed, the rain ended and there was a beautiful rainbow!





Who's ready for bed????




Lainey tried to crash the boys' party, but we went inside to our cozy warm beds and left the boys out back. 

Doesn't everyone end a night of camping while watching 'Diego' on their ipad??



 They even slept all night and woke up to pee outside the tent around 6. 
Might be a yearly tradition!

4th of July

We had a small BBQ for the 4th. The fireworks are shot right across the field from our house so our driveway is a perfect spot to view them. 

 Jello Jigglers after the boys got their hands on them!
 Cute girls. 



 Watermelon. 



 Tater tot. The piggie. 
Cute little crew. Minus Atticus (who was snoozing in Laine's bed). 









A little naked slip n slide. 




Dessert!



No pics of the fireworks, but they all made it to the end! (10:15) 
Made for a fun next day. hehehe.
