Cousin Campout

We decided to have the cousins over for a sleep over- and what better place to sleep than in the tent in the backyard. We had hot dogs then cooked marshmallows over a fire for s'mores.This was a bit messy and I'm pretty sure the only person who actually liked the s'more was Asher (and me of course ;) while the other kids preferred to just eat one ingredient or another. But they all loved cooking the marshmallows with Austin. The kids all watched a movie afterward then Austin took them out to the tent. A thunderstorm had just begun when they went out, so Amanda (who was having her first sleep over) got scared and wanted to come in with me when I went out to say goodnight. So she slept with Heidi and I and all the boys stayed up super late in the tent. We had crepes for breakfast in the morning and the kids played, did puzzles, and read books until it was time to go home.

As an added bonus: here is a picture of Asher at his first baseball game. He went this afternoon with Austin, his friend and his daughter (who Asher knows from church before we moved to our new house). Of course, Asher payed no attention to the game and spent the entire time playing with his friend. He came home crying that he wanted to play with her some more :)
