Labor Day/Birthday Camping

We had a great time camping at Island Park over Labor Day. We started the weekend with a steak and potatoes dinner for Jake's birthday with funfetti cupcakes for dessert. Brian did a great job grilling the steaks! Jake opened some presents and then we had a campfire. The boys went fishing for crawdads late at night. On Saturday Amy and I went for a great walk and saw a mom moose and two baby moose about 50 feet from us! We laid on the island to get a little sun and then the boys started their widdeling and contests. Jake make a bow and arrow and Zach made a spear. Then they had contests of who could hit the targets the best. At one point Ty was pulling them on a bike to simulate riding a horse. It was pretty funny! Of course many card games were played and the time around the campfire was quite enteraining with the new games of fuzzy duck, camping memory, and the vegetable name game. We all laughed hysterically for a good hour. We make the first smore out of two toffee cookies with a giant marshmallow in between! On Sunday it was time to pack up and head home before the massive winds could blow us away!
