Camping

A blurry pic but it's the boys in their head lights around the campfire.

Happy Birthday Michael!

Sparkler time!

We went camping over the weekend with some friends. We have gone together every year since Tay was in 1st grade. The family we go with has a daughter in the same grade as Tay and a son in the same grade as Michael. So everyone has someone to play with! It rained on us a little Saturday late afternoon but other than that it was beautiful weather. I took all 4 kids up to the playground on Friday and there were a few BIG kids playing tag and running all over the playground and jungle gym. Well as you can see by the picture of Michael with his birthday cake he got hit. This kid (my size) basically plowed Michael over. I saw Michael fly through the air and in the process he took another kid out. I haven't moved so fast in a long time. I ran over and picked him up and proceeded to verbally annihilate the kid that pummeled my son. I just saw RED! What killed me was that this kid's mom was there and saw the whole thing. If it wasn't for the fact that Michael was in pain and I had 3 other children to take back to the campsite besides him it would've been a lot uglier. (For those of you who know me I'm sure you can imagine!) We went back to the playground the next day and the same kids were there again. But funny thing was that as soon as I sat down on the bench they all left. I wonder why??? :O)

But even with all of that we did have a good time.
