Kindergarten campout was a smashing success! The weather was perfect, there was a nice cool breeze, the night was chilly, but the fire was burning. We roasted hot dogs and s'mores (a crown favorite as I am sure you can imagine amongst 50+ kindergarteners!), played games, stayed up late and had tons of fun! I am looking forward to another kindergarten campout next year, and the next!! :o) One of the policies of the campout is no siblings... which poses a bit of a problem for me!! So we pawned each of our kids off on a different friend. Cason had a sleepover with his "favorite cousin, Quentin" Coby had a sleepover with his sweet friend, Sam, and Bryson had a sleepover with Mimi and PawPaw. They took him to hear live music at Central Market, and he had a hay day. He just ate up all the attention and from what I hear, he has learned to say "PawPaw" (I added that little tidbit in for you, Dad!)One of the highlights of the campout for Micah was helping daddy set up the tent. We had "practiced" the night before in the front yard so that he would know what to do. He was even telling me what to do! It was pretty sweet to see how he got so into it and he wanted to set everything up just so! He is so particular... who knows where he got that trait!
One really cool thing about the campout was being able to spend some one-on-one time with Micah. In a family with 3 other brothers so close in age, he rarely gets to be the focus of our attention, so that was really cool to get to do that with him! So maybe I like the "no sibling" policy after all!!

Micah and company... just a few of his favorite friends, plus Mr Bear, and a popular frisbee!
S'mores were a definate highlight!
We were up early saturday morning to pack up and head home. Clint and I ran all over town picking up the other kiddos. I showered off my campout smell and dashed over to a shower for my new sister-in-law-to-be, Jen. She and Jordan are getting married on June 2. Then my awesome momma treated me to a much needed pedicure and a shopping spree. I headed home to get ready for a cook-out at our house. After church on Sunday and lunch with osme friends, we headed to a birthday party for one of Micah's friends from school and then back to church.
Here is my momma, Jen, and me at the shower. Amber had already left at this point, so she missed the picture!
Welcome to the Clan, Jen!!

That looks like so much fun!!! You're right, we do need to spend more quality time with them one on one. It really becomes something hard to do with four, doesn't it!! That is why I love this school campout thing. It's a great excuse(for lack of a better word)to steal away with one and not hurt the other's feelings!! Good luck with that "weekend of recovery" thing!!
P.S. You're still as pretty as ever! Cute pictures!
What a fun camping trip. Aric and I love to camp. Well, I love to camp and he goes along. I look forward to taking our kids one day. I am glad to see you had smores. Camping is never camping unless there are smores!!! Sometimes I make them over my stove as I just love them so. It is bad though when your marshmellow catches on fire and falls on the stove. Much more difficult to clean up.
looks like you guys had a great time--that is great that they do that!
okay I had to make another comment b/c my daughter just looked at the last picture and pointed to you and said, "who is that pretty girl?"
Man, reading your blogs wear me out. I just thought I had a busy schedule. Next year you need to pawn one of your kids off on me. We can have movie night at Aunt Brooke's house.
And my final comment....how freakin cute is Kelsey. That was such a sweet comment that she made about your picture.
I want to be a kindergarten student and go on the campout! What fun! I'm glad you were able to spend the time with Micah.
We wish we were close enough to have a sleep over with one!
The picture at the shower is beautiful-Summer you look great!
Love you all,
Gigi and G-Dad
Looks like fun, but I need a nap after reading about your activities.
The campout sounded fun! What a neat idea! I met "Gigi" at Angie's baby shower. What a sweetheart! Angie got many cute things and we are so excited for her!
