S'mores please...

Last Sunday we spent the night at the barn. The youth from


our church last year put in a fire pit for a service project. We finally broke it in and it was awesome. We had so much fun eating delicious harshmellows like mike calls them. We were even able to throw in a couple songs around the camp fire. It was a fun night.

Summer Getaways...

We are to lucky to have a fun place to go hang out with our families. This weekend we went up to the ranch to hang out. We always have a great time and the kids never want to leave. They can ride bikes endlessly. Since at home we live on a hill and it isn't as much fun. We usually have so much food it is ridiculous. Just a fun place to be. Since Ben had the day off on Monday we decided to go on a hike. We are not a hiking family but we thought it is time to start right? Well we headed up the road on the ranch and had a great time. After driving for about 20 minutes we got out and did our little hike. It turned into about 3 miles which is pretty far for some of the little legs in our family... Since at the bottom of the mountain on the way back up Mikey declared,"After tomorrow lets never come here again!" Poor guy was tired and most of the plants were as tall as him.
After we were heading home we saw this beauty bathing is a pond. He was so beautiful and we were able to watch him for about 5 minutes. Sure made the day every more memorable. Can't wait til our next adventure.

Disney World

It has now been just over a week since we returned from Disney World...
I think I am now starting to recover. It was a fun vacation but I was TIRED! We went to all the parks and made a trip to Universal just to see Harry Potter. The Harry Potter ride is by far the best ride I have EVER been on it was awesome. It was also fun at Universal since they have some serious roller coasters. I have never really been on anything like that and it was fun.
The kids had a blast. They all cried on the last day when we left. The last day at Magic Kingdom we stayed for the fireworks show and it was worth it. They do this show on the castle with projectors and it is so fun to watch. The entire castle transforms and it made all the sitting and waiting for the show to start worth it. Stupid Disney gets me everytime. I didn't think I'd be that parent that loved Disney with my kids but I do. As the kids are growing and I can see that, I really appreciate the time we take out of life to spend time together. It was such a fun trip for our family.

The hotel wasn't the best but I have learned when the kids are little they don't care it is different from their house. They think everything is cool. It was a lesson for me that we can always go with the cheaper hotel for now.

We ate way too much Mickey Ice Creams and tried to see everything we could. It was a great trip.
