Camping

We went camping the weekend of July 26-29th with some of our close friends. The ratio Adults to Kids was crazy 8:8. Next year I think it will be even crazier, because three of those were under 5 months. Next year all eight will be on foot.
We all took our bikes and bike trailers. Since we had three (Kiley, Nika, and Christian) we bought another trailer. It is way cool, a chariot.
All the kids had fun rolling around in the dirt, throwing rocks, going on rides, swimming (in dirty lake dorina), and eating junk food.
I really enjoyed camping with these guys. Everyone feels comfortable enough to kind of keep an eye on each others kids, giving us a lighter load.

Trials of Listing Your House

So yesterday we listed my house with my aunt a realtor. As you can all imagine it is difficult to keep a house clean when someone could drop by any moment. We are only two days into this and it looks like the kids are against us. Yesterday Nika decided to pour a whole pitcher of Apple Juice into a sippy cup that still had it's lid on. And today Nika took off a runny icky diaper, left it on the floor, and walked through it. Ahh. I hope this isn't anything that continues.

The Favorites

As always the bears and the sand are a favorite. It was so cool to see this Grizzly Bear taking a nap. And this was Christian's first time in a sandbox. He was unsure at first, but warmed up to being able to play with out Mom yelling at him to not get dirty.
