This is the deal....

This is the deal, we have joined a camping group. Why? Well, I think that I have probably talked about this before. Well, here is the deal. We have some good friends that belong to this group. So, we like hanging out with these friends. How do we make sure to hang out with them? Well, we go camping. It turns out, we always have fun. And, honestly the kids have a blast. What do I mean by this? I mean that Grant plays with Natalie who is a year older because he is really liking her (if you know what I mean). I think Grant thinks that Natalie has hung the moon. Then, when Natalie has had enough of the boys...Grant hangs with Matthew who is a year younger. It is perfect. He loves hanging with both of them. Where do we fit in? Well, we hang, play games (Jenga, Trivia Pursuit, etc.)and watch the occasional movie.

This has been some of the biggest highlights of my year thus far. I am not kidding, that is how much we enjoy camping. We find that camping allows us the luxury of indoor plumbing, but forces us to take time out to enjoy one another. We play, do crafts, read, ride bikes, go swimming, play in sand, play Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Yahztee,etc. We spend time together. It is nice. Here are some fun pics of our time at beach.

Dland with Dad and Mom

We took Grant to Disneyland the other night because he had earned his ten stars that he needed to go. Unfortunately, right when he had earned the stars, he came down with a viral infection. So, we had to postpone. I really think this awaiting him was helping him get better.

I was glad that Scott has a pass now because Grant loves the "big rides" and I am too much of a chicken. They went on Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and Star Tours. We all went on Buzz Lightyear and Midway Mania! We had a blast and we were home by nine!

Palm Sunday in lieu of Easter Sunday

Scott and I went to Hawaii over Easter and so we spent Palm Sunday with the family. Here is a picture of us after church on Palm Sunday. We went to Norms afterward for lunch. It was a very nice time! Everyone at church asked us if we planned our outfits...we did. :)
