Neighborhood Camping June 2013

We had two other families join us for camping at Spruce Grove this time (Brooks and Gomez's. Welcome to Glamping...

washing our feet after our long hike
Andrea filled a bin full of activities that kept the little ones busy. We had target practice, we made animals out of pinecones, colored etc.



all the animals are taking a nap in the tent

Baker doing what boys do best...play in the dirt
 Quinn and Liam climbing trees. This is awesome since our trees are not big enough to climb.

 The biggest part of the glamping was the food. Kabobs, tin foil dinners, breakfast burritos, cheesy smores etc.
 Andrea made a peach dump cake in the dutch oven

the ladies

Brent practicing his photography





Baker wanted proof of his scraped up knees
 Brent took the older kids scrambling up the boulders. Baker did not like this so he has his finger out telling them, "I told you to come down from there. And you no listen to me..."

 Baker after his first hike. He did great. Fell a couple of times  but no crying.

Ava's First Holy Communion

Ava made her first Holy Communion on Saturday, May 18, 2013. The Mass was very special because a Benedictine priest and his father a deacon presided over the Mass. The priest's niece was receiving her first Communion.



Ava and Grace with the Blessed Mother

For all our St. Maria Goretti friends

Afterwards we had a party with the neighbors. I fixed the house up for Ava. 

since Auntie Jen and Audrey couldn't make it. Brent had to step in and frost the cupcakes for me. 


I made photo cubes of Ava
