Memorial Day Camp-Out Weekend

Well it's been 3 years since we last went to the church campout!!

This year started out kinda rough though-Tiera wasn't feeling good but insisted she felt good enough to go, so after checking in with the Dr. we got on the road and got down there in the late afternoon. This was a first for both Kamdyn and Khloe-he absolutely loved it and she...not so much!! She pretty much didn't want down at all-kinda freaked by the grass and uneven ground.

But over all it wasn't terrible;)

Dirt!!!

Never fails they find it and it provides several hours of fun:)

Of course ya got to climb the fence!

Khloe having a very rare for the campout nap.

Tiera and Emma wandering....I realized looking at all the pictures I don't have a single one of Shane-he was never around!!

Always off playing "Black Ops" I was told:)

Uncle Carlin teaching Khloe how to ride a bike;)

I really appreciated him at meal prep-always willing to hold Khloe {even with her runny little nose and being kinda crabby} or help the other kids with whatever they were freaking out about:)

This is where Kam spent most of his time-on his tricycle or in the horseshoe pits:)

Max on his new bike.

She looks pretty happy-ya think she can tell we are headed home!!

Classic face;)

Sweet smile:)

They all loved it and are very much looking forward to the next trip:)

Memorial Weekend

Since I couldn't fathom going to the camp-out and sleeping in a tent, we decided to head up to Lacey and stay a night and spend some time in the pool:) Didn't get pictures while we were down at the pool though-the little boys loved the hot tub! They tried really hard to put me straight into labor with their fearless antics-Kamdyn decided to see if he could just climb into the deep end of the pool while we were on the other end! Yikes! Anyway the next day we went to check out Cabela's. What a huge store! They have the middle all set up like a mountain, with animals that have been stuffed and they have an aquarium running through the middle of that-Pretty cool!

The kids were pretty impressed

On Memorial Day we had a BBQ.

This cake was really yummy-I'll be posting the recipe @ The Peppered Pantry in a couple weeks.

Just hanging out eating

The little boys showing how strong they are;)

S'mores!! Yummy I had found these HUGE marshmallows and we tried them out but they were a little much for these small mouths:)

In baby news: I had an apt. today and found out that what I had been suspecting for quite a few weeks-baby is facing the front! I'm a little freaked cuz my mid-wife told me its fine I can still have it normally it will just be a longer labor and more pushing! I'm pretty used to pushing 3 or 4 times and being done with it so you can bet I'll be doing the exercises she recommended! She also said that the back spasms I've been having are prob contractions and that I could "go" anytime-I'm totally ready and completely not ready at the same time:)

Wrapping Up the Bothell Trip...

With a little shopping in the Country Village and a nice brunch cruise. So we did alot of shopping on this Saturday. First we went to this cute little country village, which had a bunch of little vintage and antique shops and a couple restaurants amongst the chickens and ducks that roamed the village freely. There was a little shop called Paula's Pepper Jelly in a little boat on the little pond. We went a little crazy in this store. She had a lot of testers there (heehee!!) of the different jellys and barbeque sauces! Another shop was in a train caboose. There was even a trinket shop inside a windmill. There was a cute kids clothes store called Max and Bella's. They had the cutest clothes. They even had a little salon in the back with airplanes for the kids to sit in while they got their hair cut. We had the absolute best hot dogs at a little stand and then some sweets for dessert at Susan's Sweets. It was the most adorable little sweet shop. We went a little crazy there too. (I have pictures but we probably shouldn't expose those to the world! Lol) After that we headed off to what the local's call "the ave" oh that was after Lily got her second pulled pork sandwich from Caspers (the little BBQ shop I mentioned in my last post.) The Ave was so cool they had so much shopping there, every store imaginable! We wished we would have gotten there earlier because all the stores were getting close to closing by time we made it through the first few we had to try to run to the ones we really wanted to get through. We went home exhausted after pizza and woke up early on Sunday morning to go the Seattle for a brunch cruise. I dont have many pictures of the cruise because my batteries died. I was a little freaked out because i have an irrational fear of drowning to death even though I was on a massive boat I still was a little worried for the first part of the cruise. It was a blast all in all. Afterwards we stopped by Pikes Place Market after the mile high climb from the boat to the market. It was a pretty neat place I would definately go back there again. We spent probably a good 45 minutes in one of the many cheese shops :) Then we headed home satisfied with our delicous delectable and delightful weekend getaway! (We plan to start doing a weekend getaway once every year from now on!)

More Bothell....

We came across this tiny little BBQ place on our way to get our hair cut and nails done. The girl at the salon said it was really good so we stopped there to eat supper. MAN was it good!! I made the mistake of sharing with Lily, she ate like she had never had meat before!! LOL She actually wanted to go back and eat there again the next day, which she did.

This is an actual skin of a croc!

This is her help me I can't stop look;)

Sorry Lily LOve Ya:)

Just keepin it real, right?

They used unused toilet plungers for paper towel holders!
