Maddison concentrated very hard to shoot this little pellet gun.
Wyatt seems to always have a smile on his face.
Sage had a great time walking around, so independent!
My cute niece Landry being entertained by my cousin in law Carlie.
My cute niece Rylie getting ready to go on a 4 wheeler ride.
We did a lot of 4 wheeling
The boys played a lot of Stick Ball, with a few short rain delays.
And the girls found an awesome fort in some trees that you had to cross a little creek to get to. They had lots of fun sweeping it out and decorating the inside. They even constructed a great little bridge that crossed the creek into the fort for easier access.
This is an old abandoned cabin that never finished being built. I took some of the kids on a hike to it and told them it was a haunted house... they were so scared. It was actually kind of creepy. My sister in law Ashlie and I walked up to it with the babies and we were a little scared our selves. It was abandoned, but there was a light on inside and the overall feeling around it was pretty eerie.
These are some shots of the campground we stayed at, rather, scenery, and other cool things at the campground. There were Hundreds of Deer around, there were a few Fawns that were pretty young, we saw this one with it's mother the first night. I love the beauty and majesty of nature.
Maddi and Wyatt both entered the Science Fair at their Elementary School. It was an optional thing that they both decided to do. Maddi did hers on which hairbrush is the best at getting tangles out? She tested 3 different types of hairbrushes on different girls with different lengths of hair. Not very "Sciency" but mom's fighting with daughters over brushing their hair out in the morning is a pretty common problem. She wanted to help find a solution. In the end it was determined that a brush with "boar bristles" is the best at getting tangles out without hurting too bad.
Wyatt did his project on racing objects in flowing water. He based this off of how much he likes to race sticks or random pieces of litter in a flowing raingutter or stream of water whenever he sees one. He wanted to test which types of material will go the fastest and therefore win the race every time. He determined that wood wins over plastic or styrofoam, likely because it is heavier, but not too heavy to sink. He won 1st place for the kindergarteners and is going on to the district competition. Way to go Wyatt!
