Labor Day weekend

We had a great Labor Day weekend! We have a tradition of camping with Russ' LDS co-workers (there are a lot of them). We camped Thursday and Friday nights in a beautiful place with good friends. This year there were 8 families and lots of cute kids. It was so much fun!

We love Caden's dirty face in the pic below.

We played in the stream by the campsite. Caden loved throwing rocks and sticks in the water.

We brought the hammock that Russ brought home from his mission in Venezuela. It is HUGE and the kids LOVED it! They were constantly all crammed in there swinging and laughing. So fun!

We went on a hike to find a geocache (or as we call it, hidden treasure). Caden was holding the GPS and kept telling us how far we were away from it. He LOVES going geocaching with us.

We got home on Saturday afternoon to call Kylee's parents that are serving a mission in South Africa because it was her Mom's birthday.

On Monday, we went swimming as a family and then we went to a park with two families that are friends of ours. We had a picnic and let the kids play. It was a great weekend!Russ and Caden climbed to the top of this structure. They were so happy.

I love the close up because it shows the great pride they had in their accomplishment, especially Caden! He sure loves his Daddy!
