Camping

Camping with 9 kids can be... well eventfull. We went to Thousand trails in Chehalis for 3 days. The kids were pretty excited to go swimming but the power went out so they were only able to swim the first day. We did lots of things while we were there. The noodle fight was my favorite. We ran around some of the empty sites and smacked the living crap out of the kids! I kept wondering what all the old people thought of us grown woman beating our kids.

Andrew and Connor get along so good. They loved riding bikes around the campsite and exsploring trails.

We played mini golf (it was free). The kids decended upon it likes ants on a cracker. It was a little intimidating for the other golfers.

We made smores. Actually we made smores for lunch one day. We did have real food after, but we were camping so what the heck!

We played with a giant frisbee.

Our huge r.v. we slept in with 5 kids.

The boys slept in the tent.

My Nephew Mark likes to rough house. He took out most of his aggression on his friend Josh that came to visit for a few weeks with him.

This is the whole crew before we went swimming for the first time.

Quinton and Julie were cute playing together.
The girls loved to play in the r.v. as much as they could.

Fathers Day!

Fathers day was pretty low key around here as you can see by the picture. Brian was not feeling good so he stayed in bed while the kids gave him their gifts and breakfast in bed and then we went to church while he stayed home to rest.After church we went to see Grandpa and spend some time with him and Grandma.

Andrew and Brian went outside to play with Brians rock crawler.

Andrew loves playing with his Dads car.

Grandma got new kittens and Katrina loves playing with them all day long.Quinton loves one of the kittens and he kicks the other.Andrew and Brian climbing on the back deck.
We had a great Fathers day and the kids loved spending time with Grandpa and Dad :)
