I should be cleaning out my fridge, but for some reason I feel very unmotivated today. Maybe it’s the headache. Or the heat (we’re trying to avoid the AC as long as possible. 94 degrees today may be the breaking point).
A couple weeks ago we had the third annual backyard campout with Nate’s family. The rain downpour and hurricane-like winds forced a slight change of plans (i.e. sleeping in the house instead of the backyard). Connor, Heidi, and Anna had planned several “Minute to Win It” games for us to play, which were very entertaining. The kids also did a “treasure hunt” for pennies and nickels buried in the sandbox. We ate lots of yummy food and had fun spending time together. A few pictures from the weekend:
When we first got there, all the grandkids were sooo excited that Bennett was there so he could put on his new outfit from Grandma and they could all be matching.
one of the games the kids played was sorting M&M’s by their color into little cups. We also went fishing for pretzels using a licked gummy worm as bait.

“Junk in the Trunk” – shaking the ping pong balls out of the kleenex box. I love how they are in matching positions in the two pictures. Also: notice that I didn’t post a picture of myself. That was on purpose :)
Bennett has started loving baseball mitts lately – it’s on the wrong hand, but he has the right idea :) And the kids searching for treasure in the sandbox.

Maybe we should play some of those games at the coast. I would have liked to see you playing it too. :)
