Today we celebrated Scott's grandpa's 90th Birthday. We all headed over to Grandpa and Grandma's house for a fun filled day of food and family. There was so much yummy food to eat and the kids had so much fun playing with all of their cousins all day. They were pretty tuckered out on the way home and they all had a really hard time keeping their eyes open. The weather even cooperated for the party. Happy Birthday Great Grandpa!

They all can't be great I guess...
Well...I had this big long vent about our trip to Steamboat Rock and it was 5 paragraphs long to start. I waited to post it and now I think I'll just come up with the top 10 things that went wrong on our trip like we did last year and they are in no particular order.
1- half of the boat cover ripped off on our way over and was flying all over I-90.
2- one of the boat cleats broke in half and pushed up part of the fiberglass on the boat when the guys were out, the tow rope ripped in half and the tube went flying out in the lake.
3- we hit a sand bar that stopped us in the middle of the lake...now that was fun!
4- The mosquitos were large and unbearable. I have NEVER been around mosquitos that bad, you could actually feel the sting. They literally attacked you when you stepped out of the trailer like they were flying around waiting for you, even after you doused yourself mulitple times with OFF.
5- no campfires or candles were allowed due to the high fire danger
6- 105+ temps, the AC could hardly keep up
7- B fell on her face running from Mosquitos and had 2 giant raspberries on her forehead and cheek
8- the kids were out of control...fighting, whining, leaving without telling us.
9- we went to the Lazer light show at the Dam which was supposed to start at 9:30 but didn't start until 10. The kids all wanted to leave and it was as boring as we rememberd the last time.
10- we left our camping trip a night early because we couldn't handle anything else!
The whole trip wasn't bad, we did have fun with our friends the Cyphers and Fishers when we were able to hang out with them and the park is gorgeous. Looking forward a couple more fun trips this summer.
Here are all the great pics from the trip :)

Slumber party
We had dinner with our friends the other night then we did a kid swap. Bug had his best buddy over for a slumber party the other night and Bry went home with them to spend the night with his best buddy. The kids had so much fun playing until late and then the next morning I took them to Enchanted Village. Bry wasn't too excited to find out that he didn't get to go but he had fun going to the skate park and McDonald's with his friend. I don't think any of the kids were very happy to swap back the next day.

Playdate at the Pool
We had some friends over this afternoon to play in the warm sunshine and have a dip in the pool. The kids all get along so well and had a blast cooling off in the water. It's been so great having a warm summer and time to play in the yard with friends.

Mossyrock....again!
We headed back to Mossyrock on Thursday for another fun filled weekend of camping. We went with 3 other families this time and had so much fun. Between all of us there were 12 kids 7 and under and 8 adults. All of the kids had so much playing with each other. Lots of playing at the beach, play area, boating and campfires. Can't wait for the next one....which is soon :)
