7th Annual

Photobucket

We went on our 7th Annual Camping Trip with the Deterdings! How fun to have 5 little girls at your campsite ;)

Here are some pictures, in no particular order, from our weekend:

This is what happens when you fall down too much...by the last day, your mother has no "outfits" left, and you must wear this....

The "Big Girls" waiting for the campfire:

Mr. Steve and Daddy got to play some catch...and Chloe & Leah joined them.  These next three photos show you Chloe's skills:

1. Glove is out, ready to catch the baseball...

2.  Couldn't catch it....

3. But she can throw! Do you see that follow-through!?

Saturday morning it was wet from all the rain we had overnight, but that didn't stop the Big Girls from planning a hike with their Daddy's. Backpacks, snacks, a map, and binoculars were all taken along...and they did see some deer!

We were able to warm up enough to go swimming on Saturday afternoon.  Leah and Chloe were loving jumping in:

Heather and I used the Little Girls' nap time to have a chance to talk to each other ~ something that wasn't happening any other time ;)  In the midst of it all, sometimes it seems a little crazy to go camping with 5 children 5 and under, but memories are made & we're already looking forward to next year!  (Although, there was talk of bringing a babysitter ;) )

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)
