Camping

John and Colin went on an overnight "intro to camping trip" sponsored by the county. They had a camp fire with hot dogs, s'mores, and marshmallows. Colin wanted to sleep in daddy's sleeping bag while John slept in Colin's. The following morning (up @ 5:30) they went on a nature hike through the woods. Overall, it was a great first experience. Carson and I made it through the night all snug in our beds at home!! We have a family camping trip planned in July with some friends in PA.

Hershey Park

The Ueltschy's and Spitz's took a day trip to Hershey Park over Memorial Day weekend. We were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too crowded. The kids had a great time and we were shocked that Colin thought riding the roller coasters were "AWESOME". Ave and Colin were attached at the hip and rode almost every ride together and Madi didn't understand why she had to ride by herself :-( Carson went with the flow and enjoyed the rides he was tall enough for and took a 45 min Siesta in the shade. Kids slept the whole way home (except for Chatty Carson). We may have to make the trip a Memorial Day tradition.




"Burn Daddy.."

It pains me to put this in my blog, but it is something we will never forget. Carson (a.k.a Mr. Accident Prone / Dare Devil) decided to try and put a piece of corn on the grill like daddy was doing after he was told not to go near the grill. He snuck around John and burned his wrist. It was soooo sad and looked so painful. Poor Carson cried for 2 nights. It itched, it burned, it blistered, it was painful for Carson and for us to see. He has had weekly doctor appointments and they wanted him to see a plastic surgeon, but the burn is healing very nicely and we think there will be minimal scarring. We had morning and evening sessions of wrapping the burn and treating it with ointment and I will tell you, Carson is a TROOPER. The first 2 days were rough and he was well aware of what was going on, but he was so strong and brave throughout the whole process. We have spent lots of money in first aid products this month.

Girls Weekend!

I went to Charleston a few weekends ago and got to spend time with my dear friends from college. Kelly flew in from SFO who I haven't seen in over a year and I am always amused by her wild and crazy stories. She was my date for the weekend and she did my hair and make-up which I love. I got to meet Deanna's new baby, Kelly.. he is absolutely adorable and Trista is so beautiful. They have such a good looking family and I think they should have more babies!! I stayed with Layla and Dustin and we went to Folly Beach to watch them run in a 5K. I had a GREAT weekend and I thank John for being Super Dad and staying home with the boys :-)
