The rest of July

July 14—When we got home from vacation our blueberry bushes were overflowing with ripe blueberries.  It’s so fun to have those in the backyard!  They were super yummy in muffins. 

July 16th—Her brothers got to her.  Poor girl.  I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be mad at the boys.  I couldn’t help but laugh.

July 17—We’ve made and collected WAY too many loom bracelets over the last couple months.  And this isn’t all of them!

July 18-19—Ward Camp Out at Cape Lookout

Because we’d just moved in and got home from vacation, we opted to go the untraditional route and forgo cooking dinner on a fire.  Instead we stopped at the cheese factory for dinner!  Yummy grilled cheese!

We got to the campground (after a fellow camper left the parking brake off when she got out of the car and her car ran into our van as a result.  Ugh.), set up camp, and then headed to the beach to play and have a bonfire with the ward. 

Then we made our own campfire and had smores. 

The next morning, after a yummy breakfast, we packed up camp and went back to the beach to play.  We LOVE this beach.  It’s usually always warm and not windy.  We stayed for a long time and then made some quick PB and J’s before heading home!

 

July 21-25—Cub Camp for Josh and Andrew

First day all ready to go!  They were supposed to take a mustache to camp and this is the best we could come up with short notice.

Their group was the Jackalopes, and Josh and Andrew were buddies.

Telling stories with symbols

It was a great week and the boys had lots of fun.  One day there was thunder and lightening, so we had to evacuate camp in a hurry.  It was nice to be able to have the rest of the day off!  The boys get so tired by the end of the week.
