Family Fun Day

We decided at the last minute to have a family fun day at St. Francios State Park. This little gem of a place is just about 30 minutes from our house. We got there early, set up camp in the shade and had a fabulous time. We stayed cool on a super hot day! And the best part-it was FREE!W The boys played in the "sand" and explored. Mommy had packed us a sack lunch, so we had a picnic to end our day. I love simple free days and I am learning to love nature since I see a lot of time outdoors in my future.

Sports Camp

Camden had a great time at sports camp this week at White Flag Christian Church. He learned a lot of new basketball skills while learning how to be more compassionate as well. Today, this sweet boy wanted to have a lemonade stand to raise money for kids at a church in Ecuador. Of course, he picked the hottest day of the year to do this lemonade stand, so Mommy and Daddy weren't thrilled.

My Facebook post from day 2 of the lemonade stand: Well, he's back at it again. Is it bad that mommy wants to offer him our entire change jar for Ecuador in exchange for going inside?!

Who really eats snow cones anyway?

We had the bright idea to take the boys for sno cones, but had no idea that the only sno cone place in Festus has shaved ice. Shaved ice melts VERY quickly, so needless to say, Jaden made quite the mess. Good times!

July Fourth

I love that holidays are spent with family. We may not do anything super excited, but we are together and that is all that matters. Happy 4th!

Oh, this child

Strong willed child versus strong willed momma...Stay tuned.
