Memorial Day at Foxwood Forest

We really wanted to get out and do something for Memorial Day, but Rob couldn't find anywhere that wasn't full to go camping for Friday night.  So...we camped with the Weavers at Foxwood Forest...aka our backyard.  We worked the afternoon and had the "campground" looking pretty good by the time our friends came over.  Our little walk-behind mower did great at cutting though all that Kentucky foliage!  Underneath all the brush, we found all the bricks that someone must have used as a fire pit at some point.  We hope to get a more permanent structure for the fire pit eventually.
 Here are my two handsome men!!  Matthew didn't do amazing on his first camping excursion...he and I came into the house about 2 am!!  Hopefully it goes a little better when we don't have the option of coming in the house.  
 The girls were loving the fire.  Jordan was having a tough evening...she kept falling and hurting herself.
 Here's a view of the "campsite" from the fire ring.  We could even fit a few more tents if anyone wants to come and visit!!  Or I guess you could stay in the house! :)
 Saturday afternoon, we busted out the slip - n - slide in the front yard.    Taylor and Jordan spend a lot of afternoons out front with the slip - n - slide!
 The whole family, minus Matthew, took a spin down the slide.  The girls thought it was awesome that mom and dad took a turn.
 This is Jordan's favorite thing to do...she rarely actually goes down the slide!
 Monday afternoon, we had a BBQ with some friends and then ended up back at our house so that the kids could run off some energy!
 This is Jord's go to face lately!!  I'm hoping she gets a little happier!!
 Here we are finishing up the weekend with some otter pops...my wimpy girls said they were too cold!!  They needed a rag to keep their hands warm!
