Every year the Psi O fraternity has a camping trip for everyone to go to. It's always a lot of fun and we have a lot of friends to hang out with when we go. We take Ziggy with us, and what can be more fun for the kids than spending a couple days playing in the dirt? They love the lake that is next to the campsite. It is beautiful there!! They have a big playground for the kids, and lots of thing to keep you busy.
Though this was a really cute picture of Mayson. She was having fun climbing around on the side of the hill that led down to the lake.
Rhyan is such a daddy's girl. Here she is looking cute as can be hanging with her dad!
The kids love climbing around on all the trees and rocks. We thought they all looked pretty cute sitting on the log here.
Okay, so speaking of climbing on the logs, lets explain this picture. So, Rhyan found this tree that had broken off at the bottom and the trunk was at an angle. She was standing on it walking up it like she was walking up the hill. I told her to get down so that she didn't fall and get hurt. So, being the good girl that she is, she sat on her bum and went to jump down. Well, when she jumped off her back hit the log and it bounced her forward. So, she fell face first onto the log that was lying on the ground in front of her. I felt so bad for her, and I'm sure it hurt. She cried and was sad, but the best part of the story is when we got in the car. Larry put her in and asked her why she was so cute. She looked at him and said, "I'm not cute, look at my nose." So Larry tells me this and I turn around and tell her how beautiful she is, that she is always beautiful. No joke, she looks at me and says "look at my nose. My nose is not beautiful." As much as I was trying not to laugh, it was also sad. It's sad that at three a little girl would even think about the fact that her nose is red and think that it means that she doesn't look beautiful. She got lots of love and assurance that no matter what her nose looks like she will always be beautiful!

These pictures show the high flying excitement we had while doing the bungee trampoline. It was a lot of fun and the kids though getting to do flips and stuff without being able to fall on their head was great!
Here's Asher checking out one of the many robots they had on the robot level of the museum. They had robots that did all sorts of different things for the kids to watch. It was pretty amazing what some of them can do.
These pictures are of the amazing model train room they had set up. It was a huge display that as you walked around the scenery changed and to you through all four seasons. it was very cool and the kids loved it!
This is a picture at the hotel. For the kids, the fact that they get to stay in a hotel room is normally the highlight of the trip.
Asher loved the big water table at the children's museum. Him and the rest of the kids were all soaked by the time we got done with it but they were so fun to watch!
This is what the kids decided to do in the building center. They had all sorts of building stuff and each of them built a boat... but apparently dad was being a little too bossy and there was some mutiny!
This was a big board with all the little pins in it like the metal ones you do your hand print in. It kept the kids and Larry entertained for quite a while!
Asher loved this train in "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." It was the same as the one that they had on the show that went to the castle. He kept watching it go back and forth through the tunnel and loved it.
