Happy 4th of July everyone! I would invite all of you over for a BBQ dinner at our house, but I don't think you would like what we would be serving out. We were going to be at the Mtn with Kim still (or just getting back) but we had a change of plans. Benjamin has not been feeling well for the last couple of days (nausea-maybe just sympathy pains, eh?) Well, he was doing much better eating yesterday, so we packed up the little boys and headed up to join Kim at Reservation Ridge...but when we were going to get ready for bed, Christa discovered that Jacob had lost (evidently) Everything he had eaten and drunk all day. He and his bed were completely saturated with yuck. Poor little guy hadn't really wanted to eat all day, but he wasn't unhappy...he just didn't want to eat. Anyway, he had gone to sleep, cross legged, sitting up, but bending over with his hair touching the matress. Well, it was 9:30 pm...way past the boys bedtime, but we packed everything up (well, we left some of it) and headed down the mountain. He still doesn't want to eat today, and Christa has it...and I am also slightly nauseated....but if none of that bugs ya, COME ON OVER! J/K!!
Benjamin had a great time though. He got to ride the ATV's for the first time, and went over "tummy jerker hills", he chased sheep out of our camp (I am glad I wasn't there to hear 500 sheep bleating all night long!)- a major fun thing, in case you wondered. He went on a treasure hunt, we played 2 games of "fish", roasted hot dogs and made smores over the fire, and practiced his golf skills with Uncle Randy's golf stuff. We had a fun afternoon. This morning I took Benjamin to the parade. We actually got good seats in the shade, together 10 minutes before the parade started. He told Christa that she should have gone to the parade because there were some "pretty girls dressed up as princesses". I didn't think 4 year olds noticed that kind of stuff!
ANYWAY Happy 4th ya'll!
2 weeks Katie and Brett!!!

Nelson's 4th included going to our local parade. It consisted of 1 marching band, 2 fire trucks, some marching veterans, and a cheerleading squad. It took less than 5 minutes. Oh well, Kiera thought it was interesting.
