OK, OK, so it wasn't technically a camp out since we didn't spend the night, but the kids refused to let us call it anything but a camp out, so I guess majority rules, lol. We did however make a campfire to roast hot dogs, sausages and smores. Yum! Liz brought some bikes for kids to ride, but they mostly wanted to run around and play tag around the trees. It was so fun to watch them laugh and scream and run against a background of beautiful greenery. The guys took turns splitting firewood and we taught Isaac and Derek how to roast their own hot dogs. Derek wasn't too interested in waiting for his hot dog to be ready, but Isaac turned out to be a pro! Andrew kept tipping his plate and dropping his hot dog on the ground, poor kid. Savanna kept trying to get into the fire but luckily Lanae and David were extra vigilant and nobody got hurt. Bryce almost fell in once and I swear it took me a few minutes to remember to breathe. Uncle Colton brought some awesome sausages that I quickly became addicted to. I'm pretty sure they're going to become a staple in this house. We all made it back to the house smelling wonderfully of smoke that night with bellies full of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker goodness.
So it begins... her fascination with flames
Austin went all Boy Scouts to make a fire. Cool.
We're so glad they're here to visit!
Jenna is a rock star. She very serenely passed out treats to the horde of screeching children who mobbed her. You can see Bryce is walking as fast as he can to claim his share.
This picture makes me tear up. I'm going to bet this picture will look a lot like teen-age Derek.
Roasting weenies
Mitchell was hungry but that's MY sausage there on the end, buddy!
Derek was too impatient to meat roasted hot dogs, so he helped himself to a few cold ones.
Andrew's poor hot dog is doomed to be covered in dirt
Bryce wanted to add some wood to the fire
Isaac is a true child prodigy when it comes to roasting hot dogs

These two were so cute huddled together on a log!
