We spent our 4th of July weekend camping at El Rancho this year. There was a total of 7 campers and 14 kids 4 years old and younger! Needless to say, we all stayed busy! The kids had a blast. It's so fun to see them all play together. We had a nice grassy area for them to play in and we set up a bigger pool for the bigger kids and a little pool for the littler kids. Since they also have a beach we were able to really wear them out! During one of our trips to the beach, Kayden was playing in the sand when he decided he REALLY had to go potty. Before any of us could stop him, he dropped his swim trunks to his knees and peed right in the sand! I was a little embarassed!
Sunday, we also had Tyson's baptism. I was a little worried about how Tyler would behave in church since he is always so busy, and never sits still. Luckily he fell asleep on the way there, and Amazih was willing to stay in the truck with him. I knew if we took him in, he'd wake up right away. So, he slept through most of Mass and woke up just in time for Amazih to bring him in for the baptism. We decided to keep Kayden and Sydney seperated during church. So, Sydney, Karsyn, Pat, Leah, Grandma and Grandpa and Rhonda and Troy sat on one side of the church, while Mike and I and Kayden and Tyler and Grandpa and Grammy and Matt sat clear across the building. This worked out much better than other times when we are too close together and Kayden and Sydney just want to play!
After Baptism we headed back to the campground for lunch, cake, presents and naptime! It was nice that we were staying there until Monday, so we didn't have to rush to get things packed up, and the kids were able to take good naps, and we made another trip to the beach, etc. Lots of fun had by all!
