June 29, Camping in the 'Jungle'

We have had a fun week this week.  On Thursday, we were able to go to the airport and pick up some of Megan's (our) friends from California, Abby Black and Perpetua Stephens (PK).  We have been really excited for them to come.  They have been good friends to Megan.  Megan will return with them to California and spend a week there.  She is very excited.

This weekend, Jason was supposed to go on a "pre 50-miler" hike with his brother and some boy scouts.  We have had quite a bit of rain this week and so they cancelled the hike.  Now Jason had his back pack ready and no where to go.  So, he came home, grabbed his two boys and put backpacks on them and hiked to "the jungle."  The jungle is a small batch of trees not very far from our house.  It was really cute when he was getting the boys all excited about their "camp out."  Hunter asked if they were having fun at their camp if they could stay there until later in the morning.  We just smiled and said "sure."  They were so close, we could see their fire from our house.  They had a great time.  Jason was so awesome to take that opportunity to spend that time with his boys.  He is such a great dad!!

Today we went to Anthony Lake's and had a picnic. It was really fun to get out.  We taught Axelrod how to fetch sticks in a lake.  He was loving it.  The kids kept him busy.  We are ready for some warmer "summer" weather.  Hope everyone has a great 4th of July.  Happy Independence Day!
