A Camping We Will Go...

This weekend we took our first camping trip of the summer, with hopefully more to come! We left Friday evening when Michael got off work and headed to Brownlee. We knew it was supposed to be a rainy weekend but were super excited just to get out of town. We took Justin's dad's camper, aka the Prowler, so we stayed dry for the most part. Saturday we made breakfast on the BBQ and decided on a drive to Hells Canyon for the morning. We loaded up the dogs and made sandwiches. And I'm sure I'd be editing this later if I didn't include that when packing the food I forgot the ketchup and mustard...yeah the guys were pretty upset about that...but we did have mayo.

Michael took a picture of the storm clouds over the mountains

They were letting SO MUCH water out of the dam at Hells Canyon it was crazy to watch

The water in the reservoir was smooth as glass...

When we got back from Hells Canyon we took a little hike with the dogs.

And my favorite part of camping...SMORES!!!

Here's to the next camp-out...hopefully in a couple weeks!

Happy Birthday...

The boys' 5th and 6th birthday's were at Chuck E. Cheese after the Great Strides walk. They loved it!! Here they are with the big Cheese himself.

Kaden, 6 Mason, 5

Kaden loved playing the games! He played skee ball forever...I want you to notice the scores at the top there. Tim and Kaden started their games at the same time. The final score: Tim 30 Kaden 120...yep Kaden kicked his butt!

Mason cared more about climbing around in the slide thing than playing games

Faith loved playing in the cars. She cried so hard when she had to get out that the little girl who was taking a turn let her ride with her in this two seat car.

By the end Faith was getting pretty tired

Great Strides...

Time to play catch up...The morning of the Great Strides walk (for Cystic Fibrosis) Mom stopped to pick me up and we let the kids come in and see Justin and Michael's sharks...I LOVE this picture of Mason holding Faith up to see the sharks. She couldn't see into the tank without her brother's help!

We when got done with our 'simplified' walk we let the boys play in the bouncy thing. My cousin Kelly went in to make sure the girls didn't get hurt. Got to love Kelly's willingness to do anything for those girls!

When Faith woke up from her nap she wanted in the bouncy thing...she didn't get to go...sorry Ladie, maybe next year!

The boys found this cool spot on the playground where you could slide across on this thing (great description right!) you get the idea.

Faith loved the slide...and they had one just her size she could almost go on by herself.

Home Depot was one of the sponsors this year and had little projects the kids could do. We didn't do one there but brought one home for each of them so Tim could do it with them. Gotta love their Home Depot aprons complete with name tags!

Phil Harris Comes to BOI...

Phil Harris, Captain of the F/V Cornelia Maria from Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch is in town this week. One of our agents, Carrie, just happens to be his step-daughter (well technically ex-step-daughter). So Carrie brought Phil into the office today for a little meet and greet! For the record I LOVE Deadliest Catch! It is one of my FAVORITE shows!
