Before our Summer came to an abrupt end we tried to squeeze in some last minute fun! The last weekend in August we went to a Cabin in Mossyrock WA with some friends.
For years' we all camped together over the Labor Day Weekend. With kids' becoming involved in HS activities and our school district starting school earlier we haven't been camping that weekend together for about four years. This summer we found only one weekend that worked for everyone! So instead of camping we went to an awesome cabin! We watched movies, ate yummy food, played lots of games
For years' we all camped together over the Labor Day Weekend. With kids' becoming involved in HS activities and our school district starting school earlier we haven't been camping that weekend together for about four years. This summer we found only one weekend that worked for everyone! So instead of camping we went to an awesome cabin! We watched movies, ate yummy food, played lots of gamesthe kids' went swimming in a nearby lake, but it was way too cold for the adults,
had daily card games of Nurtz, Scum, and Solitaire
Read books, took naps, explored in the woods behind the cabin
and pretty much just played for three days!
The day before school started I let the girls' invite a friend over to have a Back to School Fashion Show. They loved it! They each brought several of their new school clothes to model and then they strutted down my stairs with the music blaring as I video taped them! Mason was so out of here when we did the Show!!!
We have also been very busy adjusting to our Puppie Charlie!
We had to change some things in the back yard since he is strictly an OUTDOOR DOG ONLY!!! I know some of you might think that is crazy! (I only say that since just today two girls' at the gym couldn't believe that he has never come inside the house!) We have also set a schedule for the kids' to follow with walking him, playing with him, and most importantly picking up after him! Since they all BEGGED for this puppie they have surprisingly been following through with all of this! He is a good puppie and we are all loving him. I think the biggest surprise is how much Jon and I both like him. Jon bought him a new doghouse off Craigslist last week since it started to rain and he was worried about him. And Morgan commented to me that I talk to him like he's a baby! We'll see how this all goes! He still has never been to the dog park, he is still learning how to be good while we walk him, he chewed up a sprinkler head, and he started to jump up on my patio table. Oh, I think I'll have a few more stories as time goes on so wish us luck!

Did you guys go to church up there? I'm loving that picture. Looks like a good Christmas photo.....if you were all related that is! Beautiful view. Nice trip to have before beginning the school year. This is the shortest summer I can recall!
Looks like lots of fun to end the summer! We all know that you two secretly love the dog!!
