Running with the Bears

Jaxon and Phebe were chosen to run out on the field with a Yakima Bear baseball player for Fridays game. It worked out well for us. We were planning on going. The kids each got a free t-shirt, a signed baseball and 4 tickets to get into the game. We got in free and gave the other 4 tickets to my brother and his family. The kids had a good time. I was a little worried about how well Phebe would do. She doesn't like being in front of people and talking to strangers. She did it. I'm so proud of her. The Bears won the game. It was actually a really good baseball game. After the game, they had fireworks show. So that was our fourth of July show.

Camping at Bumping Lake

We went camping this past weekend with my whole family. My sister and her kids were up from Ca for a few weeks, so we decided to have our yearly camping trip together while she was here. It's kind of weird going camping with everyone when you see them every week. We had fun being together in the woods. We canoed, rafted, rode bikes, took walks, swam with the tad poles, sang campfire songs, ate smores, got eaten by mosquito's, star gazed and tried not to eat dirt. Jaxon learned how to build a fire. Phebe had fun being with her best friend Irish and practicing riding her bike. As always I took to many pictures. I couldn't decide on what pictures to do, so I made a few collages. We can't wait for the Vocana get together in August. More water fun and being with family. That's what it's all about. Family.




This is the first time the kids watched their hair up at camp. ever.

Day Camp

This year the theme for Day Camp was Cubs in Space. Jaxon learned a lot of things about space and made a few cool things. Phebe and I got to go to camp for a day. I got to walk a long with Jaxon and 8 other boys. We did archery, made a space shuttle and ran a space obstacle course. Phebe was in the tag a long group. She had a few friends to keep her busy with the various activities she did. I also got to drive the truck to camp. The boys in the truck thought I was cool because I knew how to drive a stick shift. Jaxon had lots of fun. One more year of Day Camp. Good thing I only have one boy. It's draining being around 9 year old boys.
