4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. We started out by going up to Camp Lutherhaven for a couple nights. We passed about 14 deer off the highway to Lutherhaven. We had a campfire and made smores on Friday night. The boys were very excited and couldn't fall asleep. They loved playing on the bunk beds. Cooper tried to sleep on top, but then was ready to come down to the bottom bunk once he was settled in. Saturday we went to worship for an hour. After, the boys went to kids camp for two hours. It was awesome. Nate enjoyed playing music and I read. The boys went canooing, played basketball, made crafts, and did some archery. After lunch Nate and the boys went out sailing for a couple hours. They enjoyed that. Emma and I went back to the cabin so she could get a nap. I enjoyed reading and soon fell asleep as well. After dinner they had a talent show. Nate played a guitar and sang a song. We had to leave early because the boys were very tired. After the kids got to bed, Nate and I read for a while. Sunday we enjoyed a fabulous brunch and then worship.

The boys are headed to go sailing.

Getting life jackets on. Charlie was excited.

The boys are down in the boat and Nate is ready to help sail. He has a huge blister on his finger from the ropes.

Sunday evening we went to the ball field in town, set off some fireworks with some friends and enjoyed watching everyone else's as well. The boys made it until about 9:40. Emma slept through most of it.

Our pretty girl. We tried to get a smile out of her.

Snakes. I dressed the boys in jammies thinking they wouldn't be lighting fireworks off. ;)

Yeags was going nuts.

Don't let Charlie burn anything. He burned me and himself with the punk. They had fun lighting smoke bombs though and running through the smoke.

Today we got all the camping gear out to prepare for our camping trip this weekend to Heyburn State Park. The tent is set up and the boys enjoyed helping Nate. Nate cooked us a delicious meal with the dutch ovens. And we even had a camp fire after dinner and made smores. What a fun weekend!

Having smores under our pine trees.

Thanks dad! What a great idea.
