camping and the 4th

Our church celebrated the 4th on the 1st with a little fun get together.  It was a lot of fun and of course good food.

Max and Jack were playing in the baby jumper.  I wasn’t there but apparently Jack LOVED it and Max wasn’t a big fan. IMG_8574  

This is his “get me out of here” look…HAHAIMG_8581

Jack attacking Max….as usual.  He’s just helping make him tougher.  And as you can see in the second pic….Max doesn’t like it so much!  Toughen up BOY!

GREAT STORY- We get to the church and we see the big water slide.  Faith immediately wants to get on it.  It was time to eat so I told her we would eat and then come back out to slide.  We ate, changed into her swimsuit and went back out.  She was a little apprehensive but got in line with a couple of the older girls and climbed on up to the top.  When she got up there turned around and looked down she just started crying!  Poor baby….they had to hold onto her and slide down screaming.  So she watched the other kids and played on the playground.  Then when we were getting ready to leave she told me she wanted to slide “one more time”.  I kinda blew her off because she screamed the way down the first time.  Well she said it again so I thought I needed to give her another chance.  So we got out of the car and went back over to the slide and she was such a big girl….she climbed all the way to the top by herself as you can see in these pics……

Poor girl!  I think she wanted to be so brave and really thought it would be fun but once she would get to the top she was just scared.  She might be like her Mommy and scared of heights! So we had to send one of the youth up there to get her and slide down with her screaming again.

Thursday we left for camping.  We took the camper and the kids!  It was a lot of fun!  We went to Daisy State Park on Lake Greeson in Arkansas.  Here is our campsite.  It wasn’t the best because we just took the last one they had available but it was still nice.

Faify loved playing in the water.  She would float around and jump out of our little boat for hours.

  1. What a fun weekend camping!! Poor Faith wanted to be so brave on that waterslide! OH, and on the announcements, I did do them in Photoshop. I usually start from nothing and make it all on my own, but with these announcements, I bought the designs and I edit them to make them personalized!:)
