Grandma and Grandpa T Camp!

On Sunday night, we left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa T for Grandma/Grandpa Camp!!  Paul and I headed down to the twin cities for work, and the kids continued to have a BLAST!  They had so much fun!  A few highlights included tubing down the river, fishing, putting on a "concert" with Uncle Jordan, playing at the state park beach, making fun foods (like banana boats!) and doing LOTS of geocaching!  Grandpa T downloaded an app on his phone showing where there were hidden treasures/log books around the area and I lost count with how many they found and tracked down!  They were so excited about it that they began making plans for how they could make their own geocache site and get it on the map for others to find!  Here are some pictures I received from Grandma and Grandpa T!!!  ***Note: Colton got stung by a bee on Sunday afternoon before we left, and he has pretty intense reactions.  Despite getting benedryl and ice on it within 5 minutes, and continuing the benedryl, his reaction lasted for several days.  I was so glad we left him in the hands of experienced nurse Grandma T, who knew all the right things to do!  Nevertheless, the pictures below have Colton's eye half swollen shut.  He is a total trooper, and from what I was told, it didn't slow him down a bit!

Thank you so much, Grandma and Grandpa T (and Uncle Jordan!) for loving on our kids and giving them such a fun and memory-filled time with you!!!  We are so blessed!!!!

Trailer Weekend!

We got to spent the weekend of August 16-18 up at Grandma and Grandpa T's trailer!  We had a blast playing with the kids' favorite toys of Grandma and Grandpa's!  Colton loves their tracks and cars and loves to make dirt race tracks and race the cars both at the trailer and at the campground playground.  Larkyn loves loading up a stroller with her favorite singing bears, pretend cell phones, and more and wheeling it down to the park to play.  Summer loves being gymnast/monkey on the playground!  A highlight for Colton was floating Grandma's toy boat on a leash from the swim raft.  The girls loved spending time in the sand.  Colton and Larkyn loved the big tire swing.  Summer and Colton enjoyed the big swim raft and tubing.  All the kids enjoyed when we boated out to the sandbar to play.  We also had fun playing lots of games including Farkle, Skip-Bo, and tying to figure out the "crackle barrel peg" game.  We also loved going for a bike ride all together at the state park nearby.   We even had a double birthday celebration for Summer (9) and Javonte (19)!  What a fun weekend!  Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for letting us come!  We made so many great memories!
