Camping - Part 2


Welcome back! :)

The next day (we are on the 25th now).  The boys got up early......and went 'fishing'.  No hooks yet at this point. (stay tuned).  They kept saying they were catching gooey fish (from Mickey Mouse Club House).
When they would cast they would say "Goooo Fish!"

Since they got up so early we got so much done before 9am it was unreal.

They also played water guns.  They were busy busy ALL THE TIME.

We got the boat cleaned up and got her in the water.

Then we went for a ride.  We were in the water by 10am!  Crazy.  The water down there is actually pretty nice.  I bit chilly at first but as long as the sun was out it felt good.

(Brian is still WHITE here....see future pics he will be RED)

Warming up and eating some snacks.

When we got back to camp, the boys rode their 4Wheelers some more.  TOTALLY worth the purchase and hauling them down. (They got them for Christmas...remember?....we did not buy them just for camping)

Drew is such a cheese and hams up the camera for me.  Can you tell he is used to a camera in his face?

They also rode their bikes.  There was a hill that they went down.  Parker had NO FEAR and peddled faster down the hill.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack.  Drew on the other hand braked the whole way down.  lol.  love it.

The didn't ride their bikes very long b/c traffic started getting heavy because everyone was arriving.
The VIEW BLOCKERS moved in.  (That's what i call them, they were not part of our party and they blocked our view)

After lunch we went back out on the boat.

See Brian has more color already.

And he always drives the boat like this.  Its cute....err hot. very hot. :)

(There is a reason I don't let him read the blog before I post it...he would make me remove all his pictures. :)

See Drew's face.  We were going REALLY fast and I asked him to look at me.  This is all I got.  See him attempting to smile?  After I took this picture I sat by him and asked him if he was having fun.

Drew: "No"
Me: "your not?  should we just go home then if you are not having any fun?"
Drew: "No. If they want me to have fun Brian needs to SLOW DOWN"

LMAO.  Love that kid but he is no daredevil.

Parker on the other hand, LOVES to go fast. :)

We met up with some of Bran's family and friends.  This dog is also named Bentley.  Bentley was such a good dog, he can come live with us anytime....although Emma wouldn't like it I'm sure! :)

When we got back to camp, Drew pooped on the potty.  We have been digressing a bit and had an accident the day before so I bribed him with pop.  He NEVER gets pop.  So it worked...once at least. sigh.

Here they are drinking their ROOT BEER out of Budweiser cups.  Classy, I know.  (We ARE in Missouri! ;)  Sorry, couldn't help myself)

The Parker was being silly with Brian's hat.

Then he decided to put on my hat and Nana's hat.

So Drew decided to get Parkers hat so he would have 2 hats.  Well that did not go over well and Parker returned everyone else's hat and Grabbed his hat back from Drew.

Needless to say Drew was not happy. I did not make Parker give it back because it was his hat.  tough call.  As you can tell Parker was happy.

So I re-directed and got the sidewalk chalk out again.
Drew did all the letters....Can you find the word Hippo? He also spelled Parker with my help.  I gave him the letters so I had Parker sit by his name.    I should have had Hippo sit by his name too...:)

I drew out a hopscotch game for them.

They also did some more 'fishing' from the back of the truck (no hooks)

Yes, I was there. See! :)  I was putting the labels on the water bottles for Parker's birthday party.  I gave Brian the camera to take  pics of the boys fishing from the truck so he snapped a pic of me.  Fair play. So I posted it.
