Camping Trip

For Memorial this year we went camping up to Fishlake. The first plans were to go camping from Saturday till Tuesday, but things came up and we ended up just going up on Saturday and coming home on Sunday. It was a quick little trip, but we had fun. The weather wasn't the greatest so at times the kids would be cooped up in the trailor. I do know that next time I will be bringing the DVD player. I was not so smart for forgetting it. I definately did not bring enough things for them to do. I will be more prepared next time with loads of stuff to do. The one thing they never got sick of doing was roasting marshmallows. This was Brenna's first experience roasting a marshmallow.

Now this is a pic of a little girl who is into her yummy s'more.

We tried to fish, but the weather wasn't so great. The only person that caught a fish was Tara and I think it was by accident cause the hook was in its eye. Luckily we gave up early and went back to camp.

Braxton insists on wearing camo when he is camping.

Ever since he was little he has always loved wearing

camoflauge.

On Sunday was Kyra's 4th birthday. We had a little party for her up at camp with presents, Grandpa Dale's yummy dutch oven, and burnt cherry chocolate and peach cobbler. We definately need to have a redo on that one.

Pinewood Derby

Last week was Braxton's very first Pinewood Derby. His car was really awesome. He called it the Yoshimobile. He designed it and of course he wanted it to like one of the cars off of mario kart. Before the derby Braxton reminded his dad that its not all about winning. Good thing Brax didn't care about it being so fast cause his Yoshimobile only won a couple of races. It looked cool and he had lots of fun. Brendan on the other hand didn't take losing so well. I think he is already planning on how he is going to do next years car.
