We had a very busy and fun weekend!
It started Friday right after school got out.
It was the 10th anniversary of the boys' elementary school, John Evans Elementary.
Since the first year, they have held a Founders Day Party on the anniversary.
Once the kids got home we went out for Pizza at a new Pizzeria near the school.
Then we walked to the school for the party. Elektra wanted her face painted.
Caleb was in line with her and I and he saw a Spider and wanted that on his face. The lady said he was the first boy they had. But when other boys came over and saw what Caleb was getting, they got in line. By the end of the day we saw a ton of boys with Spiders on their faces.
There was Jump houses, and obstacle courses and a ride.
There was free popcorn and cotton candy.
And snow cones. MMMM! Wow what a seriously pink tongue!
They had so much fun playing on the equipment.
Zachary is in mid air here.
It was a fun event and we were there till dark.
The school mascot is the SunRays.
On Saturday morning we got up early. I made a breakfast of blueberry pancakes, homemade berry syrup, sausage and fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
So yummy!
Then we headed out to the Boy Scout Family Camp Out. If we hadn't of had the Founder's Day the night before, we would of brought our tent and camped Friday - Sunday. But to pack all that stuff for a family of 5 for just one night, is a bit much. So we just spent the day and early evening there.
It was a beautiful camp ground with very nice spots. We will keep it in mind for another time.
It was right on a beauiful lake with a boardwalk that connected an entire corner of the lake.
The kids had fun 'racing' down it.
Then it was break time.
The only thing we had a big concern with was the poison ivy. It was all over the trails. We took a long nature walk, and you didn't dare step off the trail because you would be stepping directly in it.
Our kids behaved so well. This boy scout troup is interesting. The leaders do not do much of anything.
Their kids run the show when there are meetings. The kids ran the show out there. The adults just sat in their chairs and talked. It was a small turn out and the leaders all know each other. They didn't follow the schedule, or play games or organize any activities.
Mike finally got the kids playing a game of catch.
Then he got a game of kick ball going. Zachary is sliding in to base here. Ouch!
Dinner was hotdogs, carrots and celery. They grilled Brats for the adults.
The weather was perfect.
It was a fun weekend.
This coming weekend is Mike's and my 10th wedding anniversary.
Thursday and Friday we are staying at a hotel on the beach in St. Augustine,
and renting a boat for the day on Friday.
Thursday will be Sushi night and Friday steak or seafood. Then we are going to a comedy club.
We will be back home Saturday morning/afternoon.
Christina doesn't have school on Friday so she will be babysitting. Plus Katelyn is staying with us again, so she will be here also. Next week is Spring Break and Mike and I are taking the kids to Delray Beach for the week. There is always something fun going on!
