Camping Weekend

This past weekend we had a great time camping! It was our third year to Stoney Creek Campground in Osseo, Wi, and it was Benton's first time! I was a little nervous taking an eight week old camping, but it turned out super successful and the weather was perfect! A lot of time was spent at the pool where Kynzley perfected her cannon ball :)

God Bless Benton

Benton had (another) big weekend! He was baptized! It was a great weekend spent with family. On Friday, we spent the evening swimming at the pool in Tom and Amanda's hotel, the kids had a BLAST splashing around! Benton even got to swim a bit! He's definitely a water baby like his big sister!! On Saturday, our house was filled with laughter and giggles. The kids splashed in the pools in the backyard, rode bikes up and down the sidewalk and did 'tricks' on the swing set. They love when they have opportunities to get together and play :) Sunday was Benton's big day! He looked so handsome in his white baptismal outfit. He shared his special day with another little boy at our church - he also looked adorable :) Our pastor mentioned that Benton is going to have a great class, so far this year 23 babies have been born into families at our church and we still have 4 months to go to finish up the year. Crazy!!
