Happy Campers

This past weekend we held a family camp out at my Dad's lake property for David's Boy Scout troop.  I wasn't looking forward to it because we have so many things going on right now, but it turned out to be a really nice time. The weather was perfect for camping!

Jackin' Around on the Porch

We harvested the remaining watermelon a couple of days ago when the temperatures dropped because we didn't want to gamble with that end of summer sweetness.

Let it Rip!

Someone recently turned 9 and requested a "Beyblade" birthday party. I thought we were past Beyblades a few years ago, but David was set on this theme for his party. His grandparents were cool enough to get him some Beyblade tops because his tops and arena were long gone, but we still needed an arena. And we did not have much time to create one.

Building the Arena

Scott got right to transforming a large tabletop into an arena.

Concrete Thinking

We finally got around to working with concrete and those lovely Jack o' Lantern plastic pails.
