Camping at Hermit Park
We just had our 2nd Annual Lage Family Camping Trip at Hermit Park. The kids had an absolute BLAST there. We went on several little hikes, had lots of campfires, and the kids were so excited that they saw deer. Overall it was a good trip with no big issues although Emily did bite her glow stick and it exploded in her mouth and all over her face. Apparently it burns but it's nontoxic so we just had to wait a few minutes for the burning to stop. Oh and then a couple minutes later Brandon forgot the grill was hot and touched that, but it had been off for a little while so he didn't really get burned. Katie refused to go to poop in the purple porta-potty so we had to eventually go into town to find her a real bathroom because she was trying to hold it the whole trip. But the smores, banana boats, and roasting hot dogs over the fire made it all worthwhile. I'm just glad we only do it once a year...
Oh and here's a picture of the strawberry cake I made my father-in-law for his birthday/father's day (they were the same day). Yummy!

Little Mud Monsters
Last Saturda
y when we were out at the farm my darling little angels found a huge mud puddle thanks to all the rain we've been getting. Now while all the other children there would only get their feet in the puddle, my kids dove in head first (literally)! I thought for sure their clothes were ruined but I actually got them all clean. I couldn't help but laugh my butt off at them. There were so darn cute! I just hope they don't do it again...but kids will be kids.
Then a couple of weeks ago we went for a family hike up in the mountains. The kids absolutely loved it. It was good to get out and have some family time in the great outdoors. It was a two-mile hike, one mile up and one mile down, but we ascended 460 feet in that one mile. That was quite a hike for a 2-year-old! They did a great job though and then we had a nice picnic in the park after with my parents and Patti and her girls. Then grandpa took the kids fishing, which of course they loved! Just make sure to keep your distance when they are casting their little fishing poles. It can be dangerous! Now they are super excited for our big camping trip in a couple of weeks. Here's some picture of our hike!

Holy Tornadoes Batman!
We've had several stormy afternoons and it's starting to get kind of old. Yesterday we had a tornado on the ground in Severance with lots of hail, wind, and of course rain. This is a picture that was taken over Severance from 392 yesterday afternoon. My poor garden is looking a little shabby after all the hail we've had and of course we're supposed to get more storms today again...yay!
