Our Backyard Campout

Summer has been busy here, trying to keep the kids entertained. At times I feel like I run my own summer camp. We even do field trips. The start of summer stresses me a bit, but by the end I enjoy our new lack of routine.



Thursday night of the July 4th weekend we did a family campout in the backyard. I will have to admit Megan and I actually slept in the house. It was really just a boys campout, but we all had fun just being outside. We loved sitting around the fire making smores. Megan understood not to get close to the fire thank goodness. A good time and some great memories.


For the 4th of July our church did a cookout, talent show, and parade. For the parade the kids decorated their riding toys and did a few loops in the parking lot. Here is Jack with his scooter full of curling ribbon.
