The highly anticipated father & sons camp out happened a few weekends ago. And by highly anticipated, I mean Sammy had been counting down for weeks. He just loves the "boys camp", and this year was extra special because he got to take Porter along with them. They caught more salamanders than they could count, ate kettle corn, and came back filthy.
When this happens on the drive home, you know if was a success.
Memorial Day was a small gathering this year, but fun as always. With no big cousins around Andi & Sammy got to clean the headstones at the cemetery and arrange the flowers and finally realized why we do that every year.
And the weather has been so great we've been spending a lot of time out back. The kids have been getting in some target practice with the bow & pellet gun.
School wrapped up last week after a full week of non stop parties. Andi made presidents list or honor roll every quarter this year, and I got this picture of her with her two besties at the assembly.
Thad has been working on tree house additions the last couple weekends as well.
Unfortunately we had an accident yesterday before the safety nets were in place. Poor Porter fell off the bridge and broke his collar bone. We were supposed to be watching him all week while Kelsie went to Virginia, but her flight hadn't even left before I had to call her to get a medical release emailed. It was a very scary day, two hospitals and my first ambulance ride later. The boys are bummed though that their week long slumber party was cancelled. The good news is the net was delivered yesterday as well and now the bridge is safe, just a few hours too late.
And this is from mutual a couple weeks ago. I'm really enjoying being in YW, and I love when we win games at mutual.
Here's hoping the rest of our summer goes a bit smoother than the first day!
