Labor Free Weekend

Labor Day weekend started out really slow Dave & Rylee had to work on Saturday so we cleaned the house.  Reganne & Ryder didn't think this was a good trade off.  We promised them that we would have fun later.  Sunday after church, lunch, and naps we headed out to hopefully find a camping spot.

Cedar Pocket
There was plenty of spots available.
We just have to pick one out.

Guess who else came along?
Dexter & Ginger

I want to go!!!!
Her tether wasn't long enough to get into too much trouble.

Using their imagination
Flip the Bottle

How sharp are the needles?
Will they hurt?

Eating chips and giving me a salty stare.
No wifi or phone signal.

Untangling the dogs.
This became a game to them.

Card games a must.
Playing Slap Jack...Watch your hands when you play with Dad.
Phase Ten came next but only for a few hands.

Dave & the kids built this fire together.
Roasting marshmallows is hard work.

Dave relaxing by the fire
and making more marshmallows.

Yummy smores
Oops the chocolate sat out too long it was a melty mess.
It sure was good.

In our hurry to leave and enjoy the outdoors.  We forgot to test the house battery and it was dead.  As soon as the sun began to set so did our fun.  Everyone was in bed before 10 and all was quiet.  Until the cars started pulling in looking for a spot to camp for the night.  Our trusty guard dogs set off the alarms.  We found the both sitting in the front seats barking at everyone that passed by.  Quick thinking and moving stuff around everyone soon calmed down and fell asleep.
