Fun in the Son!

We went to family camp this weekend with our church at Camp Sonshine. It's a wonderful little camp just south of Lincoln. We did rotations first consisting of:
1. train ride to the woods for a hike
2. Archery
3. waterslides!

Isaiah's favorite was the waterslides. Claire wanted to enjoy it, but it was really hard to physically get her to the top and she slipped and got bumped a couple times and therefore got a little scared.

After all that fun we had supper and then began the Amazing Race. We were put on a team with 3 other families and we had many tasks to accomplish including:
1. Decoding a secret message (0nce we finally found the decoder!)
2. Carrying a really heavy bucket of water (which the men did)
3. Putting together a lego machine (again, the men)
4. shooting and making 10 baskets (which Andy awesomely did!)
5. Finding the last instruction buried in the sand!

Our team came in third after a VERY bad start, so we were excited! By this point, the kids were pretty finished, but we still took them to sit around the campfire for a little bit. Isaiah enjoyed eating a few marshmellows (but wouldn't eat a S'more!) He even shared a little with his little sister.

We finally settled down in the tent, but Claire was not a happy camper (pun intended!) She didn't want to be in the pack'n'play but if I tried to get her to lay down with me, she would just run around the tent. By 10:30 I took her out of the tent and sat on the swing for about five minutes and she was out. She slept the rest of the night in her pack'n'play with no problem. Andy and I, however, got awoken about 5am by the nice rooster on the property. Most of the campers were hoping for chicken for lunch!!

Sunday morning we had a quick church service and headed for home. We were all REALLY tired today, but it was well worth it. Isaiah's already asking when we're going camping again!

Now Is The Time!

On Friday night we decided to take the kids to the Cornhusker Marching Band exhibition performance. We stopped first to eat supper at Valentino's.
We then hurried our way down to the stadium to watch the band. The kids really liked when the band was playing and running up and down the bleachers! My favorite part was the "march off"!
When we were leaving it was just starting to sprinkle and the sky looked really cool. I took one picture and Isaiah said I had to take one of the stadium too!
