This weekend was the ward priesthood campout to commemorate the
restoration of the priesthood. Andrew and the older two boys headed out Friday afternoon to a member's ranch for the festivities.
Lincoln managed to get the tent set up with no problems and they had a fun evening filled with a fireside program, hide and seek, and of course, s'mores. For those who don't know, we're in the middle of a drought here in Texas so the one glaring absence from the evening was an actual fire. Instead, they made do with electric lanterns and gas grills and fireboxes.
The actual sleeping part of the campout was a little rough since all my boys are apparently allergic to something out at the ranch and since it got a little colder than anticipated for mid-May in Texas, but everyone seemed to have a great time and came home this morning happy and tired.
Our cute girl finally lotht her other front tooth yethterday.
The sunflowers kind of block the view now...
The peppers and okra finally look like they'll survive - thanks in no small part to the rain we finally got this last week. I also planted some lemon cucumbers (the small bushy looking plant near the basil).
Our first tomatoes! This one is a cherry tomato plant. I guess it's time to get the netting up so we don't lose them to the birds.
We also had sack races,
Hula hoops,
a little climbing,
Spin jammers,
Eli even had a good time despite some pesky teeth that insisted on pushing their way in that morning.
