With the extra hour of light, we took the kids on a picnic at a local campground. We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. Ate Doritos and watermelon. It was cool but not windy. It was peaceful and quiet at the lake. And I realized that our kids are finally an age where we could take them camping and I won't lose my mind (the part that is still remaining.)
There were great trees to climb.
Everyone was all smiles...
... some of us more than others...
... and the obligatory marshmallow roasting on the bbq. I'm still having a hard time with this one.
Equation:
marshmallows + sticks + rober kids= sticky messes in hair.
Lovely.

Look at it this way: They won't remember the sticky hair, but they will remember the marshmello roasting with great fond memories. I remember how much I dreaded those sticky messes and the dirt, but ask any of my kids and they will probably tell you that they remember camping in the tent trailer as their most fond memories.
That little boy and his watermelons! All children love watermelons, but none bring it to the level that Ty does. Little happy stinker.

You are the cutest family ever!! I miss you guys! I even miss all three kids chanting "What ya doing Becky?" I've told everyone that if they were as cute as Ashlynn Briggs and Ty, then they could call me Becky.
I love the shot you took of Brian and the kids around the table - he looks really happy. Especially love that Ty's head is blurred, showing his constant movement.
I'm loving the extra hour, too - lots of walking!
