Another year of family camp. Family camp is amazing; we have so much fun. We were in a lodge with some friends which made it all the more fun for us and the kiddos. The kids were loving gaga ball. I think they would have done it all weekend but we were mean and made them do other things-HA. Justin playing gaga ball:

There were so many things to do at family camp. We did bb guns, archery, sling shot paintball, panning for gold, candle making, carving pumpkins (Mr. Floppy Head), etc. And of course trick or treating. We went on the night hike. The counselors told a story of special rocks you eat and they spark….it was some kind of mint (certs) and in the dark when you bite it, it sparks. The kids were so funny as they didn’t want to eat their mint. They were afraid of the spark.

My monkeys are getting so big.

Justin was the first star of the week this year. He got to take him Petey the Pig and write about having him for the weekend. Below is the Petey the Pig pics and the other photo we put on his star of the week poster.

We had a great fall soccer season. The boys team was the Eagles and a little goofy. Justin played goalie a bit this season. The girls team was the Green Diamonds. This was probably the best girls season as the girls all got along, etc. We made it to the championship but lost it with the tie breaker.

Since Sept., I have been watching Shelby, Mrs. Cook’s little girl. It has been pretty fun but I do miss my freedom a little. Shelby is a year old and has brought back lots of memories of my kiddos.
