Friday night we planned some summer fun at home. Lane and Chad couldn’t wait for evening to arrive and the fun to begin! First we roasted hot dogs, had potato salad, fruit salad, and fresh salsa with chips. It was yummy!

Grant has a blast wherever he is at – even roasting hot dogs for everyone!

David joined us…..

and sweet Gail joined us too!

After we ate, three crazy boys swam!

Kayla’s cute pup, Anaya, entertained herself playing soccer. She is such a great pup!

Then it was time for some dessert! Addie Mae made us some homemade marsh mellows. They tasted just like real marsh mellows! Chad and Lane loved that they could have them! We tried to roast them, but that didn’t work out so good, so we just ate them cold.

Blake and some of the kids set up the tent. This party was going to go all night long!

Gail and David left after dark, but the rest of us slept under the stars. It was such a BEAUTIFUL night. So much fun!!!

Saturday morning Blake made us breakfast over the fire! I made some sunrise smoothies, with credits to The Pioneer Woman, even though we modified the recipe some.

Yummy, yummy!

Lane loves to finish the cold sips of coffee in the bottom of my cup!

This was a wonderful break from the craziness of life! And my kind of camping….40 steps from the backdoor of the house!! We all agreed that we need to do this again soon, very soon. Summer is racing by already!
