Lucas had such a great time. He loved running around with his cousins. They played keep away ball and played in the tents. We then had a very yummy spaghetti dinner and roasted smores. Lucas absolutely loved them. It did make me a bit nervous with him being so close to the fire, but I tried to be good about letting him do things. What a wonderful evening!
Happy Birthday Andy! We can't believe that you are already 13.
Lucas ran through the water features for a minute and then decided that he liked the playground better. We ate lunch and then I changed Lucas into his regular clothes, so that we could run a few errands. Of course, he decided at that time, that he wanted to run through the water. I had a hard time keeping him from getting his regular clothes wet.
Lucas absolutely loves bouncing. It was so much different than last year. We used to have to help him up the ladder for the big slide. This year he did it all by himself. He is so brave. He had so much fun playing with daddy, going down the slide, bouncing and playing basketball.
Happy 6th Birthday Joshy! Time flies. It seems like you were just born. Thanks for letting us come to the fun party.
Grandma Campbell took Lucas and his cousins Josh and Brady to get a bear for their birthdays. Lucas has a birthday in December, but she decided to do it early because they were having a good special. You got any animal of choice, an outfit and shoes for $29. Lucas got a monkey with a fireman outfit. 
Lucas says, "I love you Grandma! Thanks so much for the fun birthday present."
The visit was so wonderful. I loved getting together and catching up. The only downfall of the visit is that the kids both got the stomach flu the next day. I am sure that they got it from the play place. :( Having a child that is throwing up is so sad. He just didn't understand why in the world this disgusting stuff was coming out of him. 
Monday night Lucas helped Ron mow the lawn. He followed him around the WHOLE yard. It was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. He did whatever Ron did. If Ron leaned down to go under a tree, so did Lucas. If Ron stopped to empty the bag, so did Lucas. Such cute father/son bonding time!
Lucas had a lot of fun with his cousins. He loved playing on the playground and holding Jared and Jen's dog. His favorite part of the day was the drinking fountain. He probably stood there for at least 1 hour. 
Some of the family played a fun game of volleyball, others watched. Nice air that you are getting Lisa! If you look at Lucas's picture, you will see that he is very concerned. I am sure that it was not about the game, but let's pretend that he was that into it. There were also some horse shoe tournaments. 
We also got to roast marshmallows and Starburst. Yummy!
At the end of the evening there was a small water fight. Not everyone was involved, but some people got drenched. Since Lucas had been at the water for an hour or so, he joined in the fun. Kathy was the person who started the fight. Considering that she is the oldest, she is quite mischievous. 
We do not own a tent big enough for us all, so Ron's mom let us borrow hers. Thanks Kathy. Lucas even got his own air mattress. As you can see, he liked to sleep on it sideways. Thanks Terry and Terri for giving us the single air mattress. Our air mattress is fit for a king and queen. You plug it in to blow it up and then it is as tall as a normal bed. 
One thing that Lucas really loved was this little ditch that ran through the property. It was warm because it came from a hot spring. Lucas and his cousin, Ethan, loved to just hang out. He started out with getting his shorts a little wet, so I took them off. He was so good about putting only his feet in. He eventually got further and further in. Since he was completely dressed, he had on a regular diaper. Well, the diaper gave him some issues and got full with water. As you can see, he ended up naked. He didn't care if there were little rocks poking his bum, he still wanted to sit in the ditch. It was hilarious!
