Memorial Day Weekend

Kenney was able to have the entire Memorial Day weekend off, so he thought it would be a good time to take the boys camping. I wasn't really planning on going, but then I got sick (horrible mastitis) so Bentley and I stayed home. The boys got all packed up and headed to the store to get all their food. Then they went fishing at Nanny and Papa's house. They caught one fish and headed to Kevin's property to camp by the fire pit. There were some tears, smiles, laughs and not much sleeping, but the boys had a lot of fun! It was pretty obvious that Damon was the most comfortable out there. Kyler would have been just as happy, if not more happy, staying at home watching a movie (not as many sticks to pick up at home). Radley had a lot of fun once he realized the bleeding on his leg from a small scratch was not as serious as the 30 minutes of crying he self-inflicted! Daddy realized camping was much more fun and relaxing as a kid rather than a parent! I decided the boys should do this more often!!

Monday we had a family cookout and let the kids roam free!  The root beer and ice cream made the night a little more special!

Just so sweet!

Lovin' the fire

Daddy and Radley had plenty of alone time after Radley was awake by 5:30am!!

Getting sugared up on donuts!

About to get all muddy

Exploring a little deeper

Deciding if they should jump in or not

Radley

Damon

And twig looking Kyler!

Running away from mud Kyler was throwing.  I guess at one point the two little boys were covered in mud from Kyler while Kyler was still pretty clean.  Kenney then put the camera down and nailed Kyler with some mud.  Apparently he didn't like his own medicine!!

Boys and mud!!

Pretty disgusting and very proud of themselves!

Radley cheesing away!

King of the Mud

I was too busy cutting things up when the root beer was really bubbling from the dry ice, but they thought it was cool!

Not so sure about a lizard Daddy caught but willing to hold it.

The tail was longer than to body!

Look how long the 'toes' were on this thing!!  I had no idea they had toes that long!

Damon held it once and then got scared.  When I asked him to take a picture with the lizard, he really wasn't sure.

However, he did smile!

Helping Papa man the grill but still a little nervous.

I think he got more help than he bargained for!

I love this little patriotic outfit Oma sent!  So glad she can wear it again on the 4th, and so blessed to live in our country!!

This video is of the mud fight the boys had while camping. I love that every time Damon or Radley falls down the camera shakes because cannot help but laugh at his kids!! 

Bentley has been obsessed with her tongue lately, and it's so funny! I got the camera out to get her playing with her tongue, but then the boys were trying to get her to say "Da-Da." Kenney is very happy that she can say "Da-Da." I guess Radley will be the only one that said "Ma-Ma" first!
