You might remember that Grace has become fascinated with camping. For her birthday she received a sleeping bag and the promise that we would take her camping when the weather warmed up. Well, the weather was warm and we had yet to camp. So....for Memorial day we took her "camping." I use the term lightly because I realize most people would consider what we did a far cry from camping. But, it worked for us and the girls really enjoyed it.
We had a fire in my parent's backyard and roasted hot dogs & made smores. This was one of the girls' first experiences helping cook over a fire. Cody, Erin, Kit, Wesley, Josie, & Jake also got in on the "camping" fun. Then around 9 we set up the tent on the deck and Jeremy, Grace, Faith, and I tried going to sleep. At 11 p.m. everyone had fallen asleep except Grace who kept waking me up. So, we decided it was time for them to go inside and go to sleep.
Faith trying a smore- I love the look on her face.
I love Grace's face in this one- very excited about camping!
The rest of our Memorial Day weekend was spent going to graduation parties & then we went to the pool for the first time on Monday. It was a great weekend!

Love all the new pics... looks like you have been having lots of fun!
I can't believe how big the kids are getting!! I had to read back a bit, didn't see the new posts. I am so glad to see you having a great time with the kids already this summer, we also are going to have to "camp" this summer! I think we are going to do it in the backyard!! The kids look like so much fun and I wish we were closer, I think my kids would love to play with Faith, Grace, and even little Titus(although who know how much playing the boys would do!!).
