They had a blast... I could tell by the way they smelled when they walked through the door! After battling them to take showers, they told me of the fish they caught, where they camped, the adventures they had. It was great. I'm glad they have a dad who takes the time to do this kind of thing with them. It's a lot of work for one night- but the boys will have a great memory of it and that's the important thing.
Zoey and I (and Calvin- who is too little to camp yet) went to swiss days! We listened to a band play, had snow cones, shopped (It's Zoey who will ask "Can we just go buy something?"...is she a girl or what?). We had dinner at a local Mexican restaurant called Don Pedros and Zoey begged for churros. I was amazed at how much she and Calvin could eat! After putting Calvin to bed, we stayed up and watched "Strawberry Shortcake" and had a good time together.
Brian and I both agree that taking time to be one-on-one with our kids is so important. And it's visibly seen how much they appreciate it too. It takes effort with having so many little ones close together to not make them feel just a "part of the crowd" but we hope they each know how much they are loved as an individual part of our family. Each one is so special!
