This past weekend the boys went on a Boy Scout camping trip. Ava and I stayed home and enjoyed a quiet weekend with two softball practices. We love spending time together as a family and this was one of the first times we ever we spent a weekend apart. But Ava didn't want to miss her practices and Carter didn't want to miss a minute either.
The boys had a ball fishing.
I think Dawson really had a great time, even though he was the youngest.
Ok. Can you see what is happening in this picture? If not, click on it and take a closer look at Dawson on the picnic table. Yup, he's crazy.
Mike said that he even went higher than this, to about a 15 degree angle. I'm glad I wasn't there to see it.
Lots of hiking and tree climbing.
And of course the Raingutter Regatta!
The boy's assembled their boats.
Then it was racing time!
Carter boy won all his races, until it came time to race his little brother. He watched his brother out of the corner of his eye and stayed right behind him. He let his little brother win! What a sweet big brother!
Carter did great! He came in first place!
Dawson the fact checker very insistently pointed out that the rain gutter regatta used pvc pipes cut in half. Not rain gutters.
As you can see the boys were muddy little messes when they got home. Mike said it was one of the wettest campsites he had ever seen.
It looked like they had a great time! Ava and I really loved the alone time. We visited a preschool friend she hadn't seen in awhile, went to softball practice and church and planted some flowers. It was a quiet weekend, but I enjoyed all the time with her listening to all her little stories. She had me laughing this weekend when she told me "I just love pepperoni so much when I see it on my plate I just have to charge the pepperoni." Funny Girl!
