Camping - Day 2

The 2nd day of camping was the busiest as you will see from this post.

Micah taking a nap right after breakfast...she was sick with a fever most of the weekend

(Like Mother, Like Daughter)

Luke went canoeing with Uncle Rob and Tate
Daddy took Cameron & Miriam canoeing

Levi went in the paddle boat with Amy & me

Rob, Tate & Luke

I love Miriam's expression in this picture

Action shot of Cade & Ian...they were big enough to go out on their own

I think Levi was trying to take a little nap during the ride

Uncle Rob, Tate & Luke in the paddle boat

they had this little bridge that I thought would be great in pictures

I love this one...it's like she posing

Cameron and his stick

Miriam & Levi on the bridge

I love this one of Levi!

Cameron in front of the cross

Mrs. Pat & I took out Levi, Miriam, Cai & Cameron in the paddle boat

Pastor Dale taking pictures

I told him that he was the "pastorazzi"

The boys putting up the canoe

Push!

What's gonna work? Team work!

Sarah & Micah hanging out during lunch time

Luke climbing the rock wall

He did a great job...I didn't think he would be able to do it

He had some trouble when he got close to the top, but the man pulled him up a little to help him and Uncle Rob and Mr. Cesar coached him the rest of the way.

Getting attached to the zipline

I thought he was going to be too scared to go

but there he goes...Craig said his face was priceless

Tate was waiting to help get him down

Daddy's turn to climb

Waiting at the top

Starting

Going

Going

Gone

Naptime

Daddy was worn out from a day of canoeing (he had to do all the work paddling), playing t-ball with the kids, and climbing the rockwall

Luke trying to roast the hotdogs for supper

After supper, Uncle Rob took the kids on a "hayride" in his trailer & truck

Daddy & Micah...he doesn't look too comfortable, does he?

Luke & Cameron rode in the bed of the truck

Of course, Levi was clung to me...that's why Daddy calls him a Klingon

I liked this picture of Levi...his eyes looked cool

I took this picture upside down

Micah on the hayride

Luke took this picture of us during the hayride that's why its blurry

Amy & I at the end of Day 2

Camping - Day 1

We went camping at Feliciana Retreat Center with our Trinity friends again this year. We left on Thursday and came home on Saturday.

We went in the truck so Miriam got to sit in the "Boston" seat and Micah sat in the booster seat.

Luke & Cameron rode with the Shelbys in their van since they had plenty of room.

This was at the Walmart parking lot when Craig & Amy went inside to get ice.

I had a hard time taking this picture because Ian & Cai wouldn't be still...imagine that!

Silly boys!

Unlike Amy's, our ride up was very quiet...

Micah sleeping

Levi sleeping

even Miriam slept since her big brothers weren't there to keep her awake

Cameron & Micah hanging out on the blanket while Daddy put the tent together

Cameron helping Daddy hammer in the stakes

What a big help!

Amy, took this picture of me since I'm usually not in the pictures.

Miriam looking at the cintronella candle

Levi with his new "crocs"

Cameron in front of the campfire...blinded by my flash!

even out in the middle of nowhere Daddy still had to catch up with his iPhone...

he said it was like using dial-up!

Night Night!

(Notice we separated Miriam & Levi)

T-Ball Game 1

Saturday was Luke & Cameron's first t-ball game for this season. This is their 2nd year to play.

Daddy & Luke out in the field

Luke checking out where his ball went...

his first hit was a really good one that rolled way out into the outfield, but it was a foul ball

Cameron was the last batter on the team


Cameron running home

Don't they look like they're ready? LOL!

Levi, of course, stayed close to me

Micah just chilling

Doesn't it just look like she's up to something?

Luke's 2nd bat
Cameron's 2nd bat

Luke running home...notice the kid in the background throwing his glove in the air!

Cameron running home

Good game!

This dad and the little girl played on our team last year

Riding Turtles

On Friday night after children's choir practice, we walked down to the gym where they were having Parent's Night Out.

Cameron was riding on the turtle scooter and wanted me to take his picture!

Isn't that the biggest cheese you've ever seen?
Luke pushed Levi on one too!

New friends

Today Christine's kids came to play. This is the first time that my kids have gotten to play with them outside a birthday party, Trinity event, or homeschool event. They had a really good time.

Here are the big kids eating lunch

and the little ones eating lunch...

It was nice for Levi to have a boy his own age to play with and I was actually surprised how well Miriam & Katie Faith got along. They played really well together. When Miriam & Emma play, it usually turns into a cat fight...maybe it was because Katie Faith was older.

Wordless Wednesday - Where's she going to sleep?

This is the site I see very often when I go into the girls room after naptime. After seeing this, Miriam said "Where's she going to sleep?" That's a good question...maybe you should stop putting all of your stuff in her bed!
