Memorial day

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to St Anthony's like we do every year! It was fairly wet! As we were pulling in on Friday morning our friend Jessie was pulling out. He had crashed his, then girlfriend, now wife's quad and screwed up both his legs pretty bad and definitely needed stitches in one. So why they went to the hospital we set up camp. It happened to be our 5th anniversary so we asked my mom to watch the kids and we went for a ride. We went all the way out to Devils Dune, which is pretty much the end of the sand. I went up and down choke cherry for my very first time. It's one of the racing hills. I had been there before but never actually driven on it. Then we went to devils dune and I watched Kyle ride it but I chickened out. When we got back Jessie still wasn't back and we had pretty much been gone all day! We settled in and he eventually came back, sporting two knee braces, some pain pills, and a very comfy lounge chair! He hung out all weekend even know he was chair ridden, and we had a blast. Kyle befriended the neighbor camp so he wouldn't be stuck riding with me all weekend, and he taught their only girl how to ride on the big fast dunes that is St. Anthony's! We took the kids over to the lake on Monday and they had a blast. Paxton has been asking to go to the beach since we got home from California so that was a dream come true! I feel like a tricked him since the lake is little more then a pond, but at least I don't have to hear him ask to go to the beach everyday! All in all it was a good trip. Jessie is finally getting his one knee fixed next week and he will be as good as new. He actually went out with us this last Saturday and rode his bike around so hopefully his recovery will be fast and he can get a couple trips in at the end of the season.


AWWWWWW Happy Anniversary babe! (No this is not us!)

Devils Dune, if you look close you can see a couple people at the top, this should give you an idea of how big it is! Maybe I will have enough guts to do it on the 24th!

Paxton drawing a sun, probably having withdrawals since we never saw it!


Ethan's first bee sting, right on his ear, poor guy


Brynn driving the 90 because she doesn't know she is a tiny bird! Yes they are actually in motion in this pic.


Kyle sporting his head lamp trying to fix the DVD player so the kids could watch a movie. He spent the majority of his time at camp doing this!
