Sky Diving

I think most everyone who checks our blog has already seen these pictures, but I figured I'd add them just in case.  For Drew and my Dad's birthday, my mom, sister, and I went in together and bought them both skydiving tickets.  It's something they've both wanted to do so why not do it together?!

The following are pictures I took with our camera...

We decided to purchase the video and picture package from the skydiving company since they'd get some up close and personal shots while in midair.  We're so glad we did!   The rest of the pictures are from the skydiving company.

And here's Drew's video of him skydiving! 

Camping with the Stanhopes

The first weekend in June we went camping with some good friends of ours - the Stanhopes.  They have three kids - two of which are close to Jenna and Grant's age.  Their oldest, Tristan, is 9, Grace just turned 5, and Travis is only 3 weeks younger than Jenna.  Even though Grace is 1 1/2 years older than Jenna, they're the same size, so they tend to buddy around together and Travis hung out some with Grant when he wasn't with Jenna and Grace.

We had a GREAT time camping and couldn't have asked for better weather!  It was a perfect in-between - not too hot, but not too cold.  Since we were on an electric site, we brought along an extension cord and space heater in case it got too chilly in the evenings.  We're so thankful we did that because otherwise I think we would have been miserable at night.  Plus it didn't rain at all that weekend (even though there was a slight chance of it), which is always a good thing when you're tent camping and when your tent tends to leak like ours does!  ;)

All packed up and ready to go!

You can't go camping without making some smores!

Jenna loved sleeping in her sleeping bag on the blow-up mattress.

Grant did great sleeping in the pack-n-play.

Family bike ride.  We did a lot of biking around the campsite that weekend.

Grant loves his bike rides

All the kids.  They did a great job hiking.  Grant needed to be held a few times, but for the most part, he walked on his own.

Exploring a creek

Drew found a low hanging branch and held it down for the kids to hang on.

Even Grant was able to hang on for a few seconds.

Love this picture of all of them

Grant giving me a smile - I love how he leans in when we ask him to smile for a picture.

Such a sweet picture of them

Reading a story together in the morning

This time they actually got to play in the water.  They had a blast!

Grant picking up a rock.  He loves his rocks!

We look forward to our next camping trip in mid-September.  So many good memories made!
