Fun at the Fair
We spent the day at the Lake County Fair, Jack and his
little buddy Travis had such a great time together


Jack and Travis


this is where they spent most of their day, they had to climb
a rope wall, and run accross a bridge and finally go down a
big tunnel slide





this goat is whispering in his ear "give me foooooood"
feeding the goat his shirt
this is a crazy 4 horned goat
Jimmie and a llama

I love this one.... they both have the same smile

I'm trying to catch up a little on my blog, there were so many pictures to upload since my last post was in March! There are still some other things I'd like to upload, but this is as far as I've gotten so far.
Camping
we went camping for 3 days in Chesterton at a campground,
we had wonderful weather and a great time
Charlie's first campout

The boys set up the tents for us
Jordan untangling tent cords
gotta love camp food... it just tastes better
a little Highfill charm
building a fire
Jimmie using his algebra book to keep the fire going
he loved this

S'mores time

he wouldn't eat them, just roast them (or burn them)
Jack and Jimmie
Jack, Charlie, and Jimmie
it looks like Charlie is smiling but he has a marshmallow
in his mouth (so it could be a smile)
Jack and Dad
poor Charlie can't get away from Jack for a minute
I don't think he minds much
We did a little Geocahing on one of the days
we found 4 caches and didn't find 2
Jordan found this one in the back of the tree
Jimmie looking for the next one
I found this one in that tree behind the boys
the boys picking through all the treasure
this cache had a travel bug inside, Jordan is holding it up, it
is a tinman. So we kept the travel bug and will hide him somewhere
near our house (that is how he travels, people move them from
cache to cache)
all my guys (Heather doesnt camp - big surprise)
all of us
Jimmie, Jack, Jordan and Charlie
found another cache at the base of this rock
Jimmie found this one behind that tree
Dave had just looked there but didn't see it
Charlie cooling off in the stream
he isn't swimming on purpose, he slipped off the rock and
the stream swept him away
Jimmie reeling him in (poor Charlie)
Charlie was not impressed!
Jack lured Dave into the ladybug shell
this is just funny (to me)
this campground had a little park and a pool, so the bigger
boys were swimming while Jack played at the park
We had a great campout
