Camping fun

Nate took Kelsie and Brooke up camping Friday night. They stayed in this beautiful spot right by a lake. This is only about 1/2 hr. away from our house. Those 3 love to go camping. Kylie and I, not so much. :) We stayed home.
Here is Kelsie whipping up some French toast for breakfast. They go all out when they go camping. They love to cook, make smores, whittle sticks, play cards and sleep under the stars.

Fun Day at the lake!

A little mud is good for the skin right? Kelsie and Brooke thought so. :)

My cousin called last week to see if they could come up and go boating with us. We went to the lake on Saturday. I am so glad they called. We had alot of fun! This is Cameron and Rachel on the tube. They did awesome wakeboarding too. We got Rachel up on the board and Cameron got to try out his new board. We didn't even get a picture of Nicole and James though. We gotta do it again guys!

Rock Wall

Nate captured this cool picture of Brooke on the rock wall at the motorcycle races on friday.

Brooke and Kortnee (my niece) climbing the rock wall. Notice the barefeet. Flipflops just don't work for climbing. :)

Sunsplash

This was my view today. We went to Sunsplash all day and I had 6 girls with me. It was fun and I even went on alot of the slides. It was really smokey though. I was surprised how crowded it was with how smokey it still is. I took this at the end of the day when people were clearing out. It's been over 100 degrees so it was nice to be able to be in the water to cool off. Here's Brooke in this picture. She doesn't like to do some of the slides that the other girls were doing so she hung out with me.

Pretty Pink Cowgirl

Today Brooke decided to dress up as a pretty pink cowgirl with 4 inch high heels that kelsie had from halloween.It was pretty funny and as you can see she looked really cute.<<(This was Brooke typing this)

When I first wanted to take a picture she ran from me saying, "No, I don't want you to blog this." But then she finally let me get some pictures. Then she begged me to let her help me put it on my blog.

End of the year Open House

Here is Brooke sitting in her desk with some of her stuff out they showed for Open House. She had just gotten home 2 hours before from camping all week with her class in the rain and cold. The kids didn't mind though. Glad I didn't sign up for that trip!

Kelsie's class had the medieval theme going on. They all had different stations of things they used to do back then. Kelsie and her friend were clowns on stilts and had a booth where they did face painting. They had a line all night of kids wanting to get their faces painted. They didn't get to do much on their stilts, but all of the other kids had fun on them.



Here they are on their stilts. They actually had 6 pairs of stilts there that the kids got to use.

Toothpaste... not so good on the carpet!

A tube of toothpaste was Brooke's weapon of choice last night. Squeeze it as hard as you can and then throw it at your sister and run!! And then have to run from your Dad!!! :-)
