Friday we spent pretty much the whole day out side, that was really our big "celebration" day. We started out with some water trampoline jumping.
Then Papa started setting up the tent. Last time we camped in the yard we went down in the field. The kids didn't like that so much, so everyone was excited to camp as long as it was right in the back yard, close to the house.
lots of help
Faron is a full service camp set-er up-er
Kole really enjoyed running around in the tent.
of course we had to grill for it to really be the 4th.
perfect picnic food
checking out the clouds
Isabella was describing to me an outfit that she was pretending to be wearing.
we moved to the front yard to watch the sun go down.
we watched the cat climb the tree, so Xander went up after it.
Trying to teach Xander the proper way to help a lady when she's knocked down. Also, don't knock the lady down in the first place!

watching the sunset
Once it was dark the kids had sooo much fun running around catching lightning bugs. There were tons and tons of them. I don't know why we don't do this more often.
After that we went to bed. Camping, even in a back yard, is primitive. The kids ended up having fun, after everybody finally fell asleep. First there was some getting scared and freaking out about noises, but eventually the fell asleep.
The next morning we went to pick some berries for breakfast, because Isabella thought it would be nice and "prairie-ish". Unfortunately our black berry crop is really bad this year, but it was still fun.
Fun Forth weekend!

The roof to your play house is always involved in every family affair!
Xander has great eyes in the photo of him lying on the side of the "food tray" aka roof.
I like the picture of Xander and Ari in the tree looking at the sunset.
And the one where Isabella is telling you about her clothes and she's looking up and to her right. Very cute face.
Sounds like a really fun weekend. Except I would have slept inside, of course. My version would be pulling our matress out to the living room for a slumber party.
Oh how I love it, lock stock and barrel, whatever that really means. I also love the Isabella describing pix and the backs of X&A in the tree--and everything about X&A's scrumptious relationship. Wonder if Kolie will pair up with Oliver/Dahlia? I'll bet it was nice just giving each other your undivided attentions all weekend. cool. Great memory. Lightening bugs more often for real.
