Camping

This weekend we went on our first family campout. We had a great time. We got there about 3:00 and got a great campsite right next to some red rock boulders. The kids spent the afternoon climbing on the big rocks and having a great time. We went to dinner at McDonalds. (We're breaking ourselves in to camping. Maybe next time we'll try cooking on the fire) We went and saw many things in the area with Bob as our tour guide. We roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. The kids slept great in the tent. We got up and had donuts and juice for breakfast and then climbed a few rocks and headed home to be back in time for Danny's soccer game. It was a great weekend!








Punch You Face!

I'm not sure where Aaron got it, but when he's really mad at someone, he tells them he's going to "Punch you face". The first time he said it, I was watching a neighbor's 2-yr-old girl named Sailor, who loves to provoke other kids. She was really making Aaron frustrated and I could tell he was on the verge of getting violent, but instead of actually hitting, he says, "Punch you face, Sailor". I had such a hard time not laughing while I tried to diffuse the situation. Now it's become one of his "beloved" statements. Along with "Be my friend, Danny", when Danny is teasing him. And "let me try" when the other kids won't let him join them with whatever they are doing.
