Gone Camping!
What a great way to celebrate the end of shool. Going camping. We do one night at a time, thats all Zachary can handle, but it sure is fun. We went to Clints Well near Strawberry, AZ with the Ward family. We have kids the same age and they had a blast together. The boys loved walking around the woods searching for grasshoppers. The grasshoppers spent a fun time being carried around in water bottles.

Max had so much fun with his friends. It was so beautiful up there. We were surrounded by pine trees that seemed to reach the sky.

This was about the only picture Max allowed us to take of him. He was too busy playing.

Michael had fun in his own way. Playing with the boys then playing with his little toy soldiers. He is such a fun boy. And the best part was he was really good for most of the time up there.

Zachary did really well. He only asked to play XBox about 1,000 times. He is only allowed to play on the weekends so he can't let go of the fact that he was supposed to be playing it. In between asking to play he would search for grasshoppers with the boys; all the while being amazed they were like equator (his favorite show). Some kids like cartoons. Zachary likes National Geographic Equator.

Ryanne was in heaven with her friend Madison. They found a huge rock area and made their home there. The dads took the kids hiking and got to find even more treasure in a creek and more bugs. Do you see any pictures of Mom? Nope she was in heaven reading her book in the outdoors with the fresh air.

Then came the adult fun. We went shooting with Jeremy Ward. Corrine stayed at the camp with all the kids. What an amazing friend. I had never shot a gun before. Boy did we have a great selection to choose from. It was really fun. And to do the finale of the fun there was an explosion.

Matt got to share in the fun as well. He loved the shooting.

The rock the girls found.

Is it too much to ask to be able to get one family picture???? Of course it is. Everyone, except mom, decided it would be great to pick their noses. Ummmm.....No thank you

But we did get one good one. Thats all I wanted. No nose picking made a happy mom.
