This last weekend we got together with some friends from our ward for some camping at Inks Lake since the kids had a 4 day weekend thanks to good
ol' Chris Columbus. The sad thing is, I had to stay home with Ellie because she decided to get sick at about 3am the morning of. Lets just say it involved washing sheets, ewe. Dallas still took the kids up for the day (Friday) and enjoyed some cliff diving,
canoeing, hiking and biking there at the camp site, but actually came home that night instead of staying over night. The reason for that is that the Stake had asked again for
volunteers to go down to Galveston to help out some more with Ike clean up and Dallas really wanted to go, but he was going to have to leave at 4am Saturday morning. So thanks to my friend Mindy's suggestion, we extended this "camping trip" to our backyard and the kids were thrilled. They got home from Inks Lake at about 9:30pm and quickly changed into
jammas and headed out to the tent in the backyard to sleep.
Yes this is Ethan jumping off a cliff. I don't know if I would have allowed this had I been there because the cliff looks pretty high in this picture, but obviously he survived to tell me all about it. So better that I wasn't there I guess. He's so brave.
Here they are sound asleep in the backyard. Did I mention I did not stay out there with them? I was a little nervous about leaving them out there alone, but I just said extra prayers and jumped in my nice cozy bed. It was
soooo good that we weren't camping at the campground that night because at about 3am that night, I came down with whatever Ellie had.
Ahhhh! Soon after me, Abbey got it, then
Miah, and now Ethan has it. We're just waiting for Dallas to start with the rumbling in the tummy, it's not a fun one so you better keep your distance everyone!
Big stretch, good morning sleepy head, time to get up!

Oh so sad to be sick! but I'm glad you are feeling better. It was great talking to you on the phone today, I miss you!!! Your Halloween decorations are adorable! You should should see mine, they are so boring- a couple of pumpkins, a fall wreath, and a sign that says "Trick or Treat" and that's it! I don't like the gorry yucky stuff either.
Your kids rock! They are really so cool. And i'm so sorry you all got sick. That is most definitely the worst sickness with kids!! I hate it! We miss you guys...
Sheryl, if you had been with the group, you probably would have gone with Ethan since you are the ULTIMATE CLIFF JUMPER!!!! Sorry you all got sick - Yuck!! Nana
