Fun Filled Week

Last week we had a little summer vacation we planned with James and Becca. We just stayed around here. Richard and James took off work and we just hung out for the full week. Monday we all went to Seven Peaks. Which was a blast! This was the first time this summer I think my boys really Loved the water. Landon even built up the courage to venture off into the wave pool on his own, he and his infant tube about half way while the waves were off and just played happily. The big kid slides were definitely his favorite. They kept him busy for about an hour. And for Richard and I, Boomerang was the very best.
Tuesday was James' birthday so we had breakfast together and a BBQ and Becca's parent's house.
Wednesday we had a picnic at the park, and played Frisbee. Afterwards we stopped for snow cones. That night James and Becca went out to dinner while we watched baby Grace.
(We don't even have pictures of any of this)
Thursday we left early in the morning to find a campsite.

Camping

This is the first time we've been real camping (not in my parents front yard) as family. I've put it off as long as I could for the fear of taking the kids and the lack of sleep. I don't know what I was so afraid of. The kids loved it, and we all had fun. Yeah the whole night sleep wasn't the best but not near as bad as I had imagined it. Carson's unsteady walk up and down the hill was the cutest thing. And Landon was so into the fire that's all he talked about besides the bugs. Camping was perfect with little boys, and I never thought I'd say it, but I can't wait to go again. Are you up for it James and Becca?

Yummy, now this is what you go camping for. I think it's done Landon.

On our way home from camping we took a little detour to Squaw Peak. Amazing isn't it?

Boating

Uncle Rick and aunt Julie took us out boating and wave running Saturday morning. I got to try out the knee board and then they brought out the tube. Sadly none of the pictures turned out of Richard but his ride and bifts were awesome. After Richard, Kristine and I got on. We were so beat up from such a rough ride I know I'm still feeling it. But no amazing bifts, shucks. So much fun.

This is the only picture that worked out. Kristine is the one leaning off the edge, Jaquelynn's in the back with Kayla on her lap then it's Landon and me. Kayla loved it but Landon was ready to get off as quick as he got on.
Saturday night was also mine and Richards night to go out while James and Becca watched the boys. We stopped by Panda Express and took our food to an outdoor amphitheater and watched Pride and Prejudice. What a fun week!
