1. My birthday
2. Camping
Of course I don't LOVE getting older, but I do enjoy having a birthday and making reference to it throughout the entire month of August. I like to think of August as my "birthmonth" really, not just one single birth "day". And I am not talking about presents or parties. I just like to mention it every once in a while to solicite help taking out the garbage, emptying the dishwasher, or getting me a bowl of ice cream. One of my "birthday wishes" was to go camping and get out of this heat, and my wish was granted!
We camped up at Airplane Flat with the Sharps, Larsens, and the Starrs. It was a great group, adults and kids alike. All the children got along famously and except for Bruce taking an impromptu swim in the freezing cold creek, no mishaps.
Of course, horshoes were involved...
A little hiking...
Some biking... (It was easy to tell our kids from o
thers in the campground. None of ours had helmets. Oops!)
This is totally out of order, but here is Carson Starr with a yummy birthday cupcake.

Guys. Just because I brought 2 spatulas, does not mean the you BOTH need to be stirring the fajitas mix. It's pretty much a one man job.

The big party! We were tempted to invite the other campers over to our party to share in the bounty of cupcakes, but we didn't. Yes, Jen had those cupcakes made in the shape of a horse, just for my special day. Very touching!

A major attraction for the kids is the rope swing. Here is Jeff helping the kids get on. (And Lauren possibly picking her nose.)

Not the best picture in the world, but I had to show off "Buddy", my new little camping pal. He holds the garbage sack, utinsels, paper towels, spices, and a lantern! And only just $15.88! What a steal!
Chad: "Sarah, where is the salt and pepper?
Me: "Over by Buddy."
Chad: "Hey, Sarah. Where did that other spatula go?"
Me: "Oh. It's hanging on Buddy."
You get the idea.

Who needs big fancy playground equipment when all you need is a big log and a long skinny pole. Instant teeter totter, free of charge.
Van IS Superman
Ian Loves to get his picture taken
Are you sure these two are just 6 months apart?

Best buds! Audrie and Ressa have handled not being in the same school class very well. It was great to have them play together the whole time.
Umm. Jen took this picture. What a couple of posers!
Oh. I guess that's all the pictures. Sorry!

We had a fun time, but too short as usual. It was the perfect way to spend my birthday. I even got another birthday wish when it rained a little both days. Perfect!

K I guess I will post Happy Birthday here since I have been trying to call you and tell you happy birthday!!! Glad you had fun camping!! I was actually camping on your birthday too! Luckily you have people go with you. Everytime we ask people to go they don't want to go or are busy. I am starting to think it's just us!
Camping looks like so much fun! Happy, happy birthday!!
Looks like you guys all had so much fun!
It was a lot of fun and I am glad you FORCED us to go. Love you and I am glad you had a great birthday. To bad August is over. You can't use your birthday to get people to do things for you now.
Maybe they will all do nice things for you because they just love you. Maybe. ;)
Happy belated birthday!
Oh it looks like so much fun! next time we really want to go!!!
Happy Birthday month!
Wish I could have been there too. But you had to admit that the rope swing did need water under it.
Hey go to the internet and look up a topical map of Williams Lake and then move it around until you find Badger. What a difference in the size of the lakes. Love Ya, Mom
Yeah if there was water under the swing then maybe my family wouldn't be the only ones wet:) I love the pictures. They totally made me laugh. We had so much fun! I am glad you had a fun birthmonth :) I loved how the kids spend the entire day playing on the rope swing,in the dirt and catching bugs. Audrie and Hailey LOVED it. So when is out next camping trip?
Yes undoubtedly, in some moments I can reveal that I approve of with you, but you may be inasmuch as other options.
