    The next day we went up the canyon with the Nettesheim crew for 2 nights of camping!! We had beautiful campsites all secluded from other campers!

    Setting up camp and making dinner and necklaces!

    Campfire fun!

    Tuesday we just stayed in camp all day and played! Benji had to go down for play practice but that was only a 30 minute drive so it worked! HAMMOCKS!!!

    LASER TAG and exploring CAMP:

    SINGING and CRAFTING

    BOAT MAKING and RIVER RACING

    We had a busy lazy day in camp and then Grandma and Grandpa came up for dinner. Pete’s family never made it up to camp. Wednesday we packed up camp and headed home – Ben dropped Benji off for rehearsal and brought Brewer up for a couple of hours! He LoveD chasing the chipmunks!

    Came to play Friday night – 7th! We all loved on that baby! and the younger kids just played and played!

    Mom and Dad also came out and stayed at Joel’s. We went to the Geneva splash pad on Saturday. Dad came with us while mom hung out with her sisters.

    That night we left the kids at home and all went out to eat at Kitchen 88: Mom and Dad, Christy, Jana, Ben, Joel, Megan, Tracie, Shannon, Tommi, Sean, Jana and Kelsey!

    On Sunday we did church at our house with Tracie’s family and then we all went to Joels for a goodbye Shae and Tyler Party!!

    Our anni was on a Sunday and we spent the day and the days surrounding it with Rick and fam so it was low key but WE STILL LOVE EACH OTHER 🙂 In fact, we get better and better with time. We really have grown together and life is great!

    I was fine with the simpleness but Ben couldn’t let it be simple (winking face) I got flowers later that week and a board game that I’ve been wanting! and then a few weeks later I got some nice ear buds!

    On Monday night we hung out again and celebrated dads birthday! The kids watched a movie outside and slept out under the stars at Matt and Jamie’s!!

    It was nice to see Rick and Jen and catch up with them. So good to see Rick progressing and telling stories and getting around pretty well! The older kids snuck out for snow cones one of the days:

    We got up and headed to OREGON to the Hot Springs! The water coming into this river from the spring was SOO HOT. It was fun just catching the right temperature and relaxing!

    We watched Jaydn try to catch some minnows, we ate some lunch and we had to stop for ICE CREAM on the way back!

    That afternoon some of us adults went and saw Brady’s little Car Lot! and went to Ross. And after dinner was the TALENT SHOW!!!
