Ward Campout

Once Lennard got home from work, we loaded up and headed out to the Spring Glen Campground for our Ward Campout.  We got there in good time and the kids were off and running before we even found a campsite!  We were all supposed to do our own dinner that night.  The kids weren't interested in eating, so we let them play for quite a while.  We ended up having quite the group congregate around our site, so when it was time to eat, we ended up eating in front of everyone!  ha! ha!  

There was a great talent show at about 7:00pm and everyone had lots of fun... especially since Brother Leavitt handed out candy to whoever participated!

Brother Boehmer recited the poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee".  It made us think about Lennard's mom.

The Bishop got a bunch of the little girls involved in his number... Emma was thrilled - since she then got candy!  ha! ha!

Ben got to go up to and do the haka with a bunch of the dad's and sons.  Lennard had gone to help Emma right then so he missed out, but Ben had a blast.

After the talent show, we ended up with a big group gathered at our trailer again.  We set up the propane fire pit and had a nice visit.  The kids were so excited to just run and play that we decided to just let them stay up.  It was after 10:00 by the time we finally got them into the trailer to sleep.  They had so much fun running around in the dark with flashlights and 'exploring'!

This morning we had a pancake breakfast for everyone and a few games for the kids.  They had water balloons that they were supposed to toss back and forth, but kids went wild and just chucked them at each other.  They also attempted to play a game of baseball with them.

Most of the adults just hung out, watched the kids and visited.  I was enjoying talking with everyone when I looked over and here was Lennard driving up with the truck and trailer!  He'd gone and packed everything up by himself.  Guess he was ready to head home!  It was a fun way to spend the weekend.
