Camping with friends

One weekend in September we went camping with friends.  It was a little stressful at first trying to get all the campsites but then we had tons of fun.  Isaac and James were so excited to build a fire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows.  Although Isaac doesn't like hot dogs and neither Isaac nor James likes roasted marshmallows.  But a fire was still exciting. 

James was jumping up and down so excited. 

Isaac was pretty happy too.  He got those glasses as a prize at school for bringing in box tops. 

It was so fun setting up tents.  Of course we need lots of help to do so. 
I wanted to take James' picture by the tent but he wanted to eat his smore.  Or really just some chocolate and then some graham crackers. 
Here's a better picture with the tent.  
Here are our friends the Lees.
Here are the Gublers.
I was so disappointed that our friend Julianne got sick so she and her mom and baby brother had to stay home.  But Brinley and her dad came.

Dads and kids
We went for a little hike with friends.  It went a lot better than our hike later as a family which ended in disaster.  We will leave that to your imagination. 
Oh my goodness, James and Isaac had so much fun.  James was in little boy heaven while camping and asks to go again.


On Sunday we went to Forest park for a little walk.  
Good old Saint Louis in front of the art museum






I made the kids take off their jackets to get photos of them.  We did one minute photo shoots.
