Tyson's Preschool Graduation

Tyson had a successful year at preschool. This is his graduation.

Camping

We went on a little camping trip over the weekend. The campground we had originally planned to go to was full, so we kept driving to Pine Valley. Their campgrounds weren't open yet. So we decided to stay and fish awhile. Anthony caught 5 fish. Tanner stayed right with him the whole time and kept casting his own fishing line, but Tyson lost interest in about 5 minutes and was off in lala land running around and doing whatever it is that he does. After that, we went to the place where we found our Christmas tree and found a little spot away from the road that already had a firepit. This became our camp spot for the night. Tyson was so diligent in gathering wood and Tanner made sure he kept the fire burning big. The sleeping arrangements were a little tight in our little 4 man tent, but I never expect to get good sleep when camping. It was a fun little trip.

Helping Dad

Anthony had to drain his pool at the hotel and he thought the kids would like to see him fill it up. He had a hose from the fire hydrant and I think it filled the pool in about an hour. Last time with a regular hose it took about 8 hours. The kids always like it when they can go to the hotel to help dad with things (mostly because they always find some sort of candy in his office and they stash their mouths and pockets full). This day, however, Tyson was sick and throwing up, so he just laid on a lounge chair in the shade.
