Camping with Dad!

So, I just had surgery on the tenth to correct everything that happened to me while I was bringing this crew into the world.  As a result my mom came to visit to help out with everything.  Lee took a couple of days of leave to be here also and during the time he was off it happened to be spring break.  He decided he would take the six older children and go camping at Bellows Beach Park.  Can you say WOW, what a daddy!!

This is the new tent he bought for the occassion so that they would all be under one roof.  Brooklyn and Bryant were very excited about it as soon as they set it all up.

They first stopped at the Turtle beach and looked at turtles for awhile.  Can you see the little turtle head poking out of the water?

After setting up camp they all caught some waves.

Bryant was gathering the wood for the campfire!  How can you not be in love with him in his little aloha shirt?

Lee took the children miniature golfing right after they swam, set up the tent and gathered all of the wood for their fire.  Here is Braelynn teeing up and trying to get a hold-in-one.  The only problem is the hole is next to her feet and she is shooting the wrong way.  Maybe she is not the next great golfer in the family.

Popcorn to end the evening with (there were s'mores too.)  Then it was off to bed for everyone.

Breakfast in the morning with six happy faces.  Pancakes are always a hit.

I just can't believe how wonderful my husband is and what an amazing dad he is!  I am so glad that Heavenly Father chose to lead me to him and that he asked me to be his wife.  Our little family is the most joy anyone could ever have.  Yes, they are a lot of work, but anything that is worth this many blessings is bound to take a little effort.  Thank you so much, Lee, for asking me to be your wife.
