Woodlands Lake

At the end of August we headed up north about two hours away to do some camping. We went with our good friends the Christensens. We have almost matching families, so its so much fun together, everyone has a buddy. Hope to do it again sometime very soon!

Avery and Janie. They kind of have a love hate relationship. But as they get older they are sure to be great friends!

The kids playing a little baseball with a old tennis ball they found and a stick. How cool is that? I mean seriously. 

Hanging out by the fire

Easton and Nashy 

That's some serious fire!

Teeter tadder fun

Nap time! That is one dirty baby. 

Came across some scouts who let us borrow their canoes for a bit. The kids loved it. 

Playing at the lake looking for craw dads 

Such fun times. Nothing better than times this. It's the simple things that make the best memories! 

Taylor's broken finger

This poor girl, first her baby toe back in April and now her middle finger. She was doing a cart wheel back tuck at tumbling last week and landed wrong on her hand. It swelled up pretty good and I just knew she had done something to it. She is one tough Teela though (Peterson inside joke) and came home without much complaining and hardly any tears. She is just about the sweetest girl ever and so easy going and care free. She looks at life with such rose colored glasses, not much can get this girl down. She choose a blue cast, and has to wear it for 4 weeks. It can always be worse, right?? At least it was the finger on her left hand and not the right. Love our Taylor.
Yes all that purple you see on the inside of her hand, is a bruise.

This is about 5 days after she did it. It was a lot more swollen and bruised. The break is actually had the bottom of her finger if you look close you can see the ring of the bruise around it.

Getting her cast on. Love the look on her face
