This past weekend there was a possibility of us going over to visit family for an afternoon.  When I told the boys of the possibility of this visit they were extremely excited!!  Of course, there was the condition of them behaving properly all morning or they wouldn't get to go.  As the afternoon approached it turned out that we wouldn't be able to go for our visit after all, and would have to  postpone it.  Sadness swept across the 3 Monkeys' little faces : (  Then Dylan said (in his infinite wisdom) "so you mean I was good all morning long for no good reason?"  hahahahahahahaha!!!

 
 

(I need to post more often!)  We just returned from 5 days of camping in Oak Creek Canyon (Sedona Area).  The boys had a week off of school, so we thought we'd get them back in touch with nature. They had a really good time, and it was a nice distraction from our daily routines.  We hunkered down against the very chilly weather with our warm family; Grammy, Grandpa & Grandma, and the all too fun "Fousel's".  Hiking, fishing, ghost stories around the camp fire, tree climbing, hamock swinging, and a bunch of great memories made!  Of course washing 5 days of camping off of little boys is a process, they had very long, warm baths when we got home.  I think it will take a few more days of washing before we see the natural flesh tone of their fingers.  Was chilly and windy, but a great time none the less.  Of course as we packed up to leave, the weather was great..................
