Boys are so much fun!!!

Colton's 1st Girlfriend

Colton had his first "girlfriend" in kindergarten. Her name is Kate and she was in Colton's class. I will say she is very cute, super sweet to everyone, and probably the smartest girl in the class(naturally since she has a crush on Colton!) No, really the first day of kindergarten he sat down next to her and she was reading a chapter book out loud. Very smart girl. Anyway, I found a note in his backpack toward the end of school that said as follows:
Colton, I have a crush on you. I love you. I want to kiss you.
Love, Kate.
I asked Colton about it and he got all flustered. He then said "Yes, she gave me a love note, but I can't even read it!" Poor guy. I then told him what it said and he got even more embarrassed. I don't think the feelings are reciprocated-he sees Kate as his buddy. I can't believe all this silliness starts in kindergarten-isn't everyone just supposed to have cooties?

Camping at Jellystone

We just got back from camping with 3 other families at Jellystone park. There were 8 adults and 9 kids total. The kids had so much fun and they got so dirty! I don't think I have ever seen so much dirt on my kids before. I guess it's good for boys to get a little dirty sometimes:) Carson loved Yogi Bear. I think he might of hugged him at least twenty times. Every time he would spot him he would say "Woggi Bear!" and run up and hug him. They had lots of fun things for the kids to do there-swimming pools, hayrides, firetruck rides, games, crafts, movies, etc. They are building a waterpark there that was supposed to be done in August, but will not be ready until late September. We were very disappointed about that. The hayride was supposed to be a water gun hayride. Sounded harmless enough so I took the kids on it the first day we got there. I didn't realize along the way they had people with garden hoses spraying you. I was soaked! I got over it when I realized wet clothes made the 110 degree weather more bearable(I'm not exaggerating the temperature either-it really has been that hot. Thank goodness our camper has a/c) Colton said he wanted to live there and was very sad when it was time to come home. We spent 3 nights there and I was very ready to get home and take a "real" shower. The only bad part of the trip-when we got home 8 of the 17 people who went camping ended up with a bad stomach bug. Unfortunately, Mike, Carson, and I were included in the 8 people. Awesome.
