So Many Things I've Forgotten

I've really slacked on posting on my blog. I have done tons of things that I want to share with you.

This first post will be about When the kids and I went to 9 Mile Canyon, Cleveland Dino Museum, and the CEU Musem with my parents.

9 Mile Canyon has the largest collection of petroglyphs in the world! It was really cool to see.

The "campground" we stayed at was a little hokey.
Some of them were right by the road and we could walk right up to them.






There were some really great looking ones that were high on the top of a mountain. So I hiked up to get a closer look. This is what I found....
This was my view....
I am terrified of heights so this was a big accomplishment for me!

Cool arch or rainbow with the sun underneath is. I really liked this one.









More pics of our hokey camp ground. This is the host's home.....
(Two?) Can you say redneck?
Notice the floral print couches on the porch....

The playground....

The showers....I told my dad I wasn't going to shower in there....what if they had cameras and would put the movies on the internet. My dad said "Look around here, you think these people would know how to use a camera let alone post the video on the internet?" haha, I just didn't feel good about showering in there.

The sign says "Store...Bunk & Breakfast....Guided Tours....Camp Grounds....Dutch Oven Dinners" They had little cabins. Wonder where the store was....Such a mystery. My dad found this place on the internet. My mom said it sounded good on paper, but wasn't good in real life...

That is our vacation we took in June/July. It was fun. We missed TJ and wished he was with us.

Trip to Palisade

About a month ago, we went camping. We started out at Palisade Lake for a family reunion. This was Isaac's first camping trip and first time in a lake. He really liked it. He's a good camper!

Audrey loves the water and could spend all day in the lake if we let her. She likes to go out far!

Ethan loves the water too!

My cousin's husband, Darrin, took his kids with him in a canoe. My kids helped bring them in.

Audrey got a snorkel before we went. She really liked looking under the water.











Isaac had this little boat thing. It has holes for the legs. The water was too cold to have him in it in the water, but he liked sitting in it on the beach. This kid is so pale. Even though I didn't have him in the sun at all, he got burned. Must have reflected off the lake. It wasn't a bad burn. But I'm going to have to keep sunblock on him ALL the time!








For the reunion we have an auction to raise money for the reunion next year. I made these cute reversible headbands for the auction. They turned out really good and they were super fun to make!
Haylee wearing the headband her mom bought for her. She's so cute!

Isaac was a great camper! He loved every minute of it. This is a pic of him in his little bed. It's a pack n play with the bassinet in the top. Very handy!












Ethan had a snorkel, too.






















Isaac LOVED camping! Such a happy camper.
























Ethan is NOT a happy camper. I got this reaction after I told him he needed sunblock on. Then......

He fell asleep!











Isaac loves pulling Audrey's hair! She laughs and screams and he thinks it's funny!












See what a happy camper Isaac is! He's so funny.











Here we are with the tent. We didn't get a picture of TJ with us before he left. Oh well, he was there part of the time.
