CampQuest

We had a wonderful weekend at the 4th annual B CoC CampQuest. It was a little chilly at night (high 40s, low 50s) and sunny and beautiful during the say on Friday and Saturday. We had lots of blankets to keep us warm in our tent, so we didn't mind the cold evening too much.

Curt spoke at the campfire devo and gave a wonderful lesson on "spiritual bancruptcy," using Red Bull and a diet Coke/mentos rocket to accentuate his point like only Curt can do!!

Cade found a "swing" out of a vine near our campsite and that may have been the highlight of his weekend. He made it "his" spot to get away and just hang...no pun intended. Hahaha!



Saturday we participated in a family scavenger hunt and later carved an amazing pumpkin named "Scaredy Bat."





The final pumpkin (I forgot to take a pic that day...so here it is a week - and a little mold - later)


After that it was just family hang out time, something we know how to do well. Our best buds were there and the kids all had a great time riding bike, scooters, and playing at the park.






What a great way to spend the weekend!!! Nothing like a lot of family time and NO STUDYING!

Favorite Keira sayings...

This is primarily for me to remember some especially funny moments from the mouth of my sweetest babe. Hopefully, you'll find them amusing too.

1. She calls sneezes "bless yous." We were camping this weekend and she had lots of sneezes in the morning. I hadn't realized that she really thought they were called bless yous until the said "ugh, why do I have so many bless yous this morning?!"

2. Praying a few night ago with Curt, "And God, why did you make my Daddy's head with no hair on it?"

3. She was playing at the Scott's house down the street and Curt and I ran down there to hang out a few minutes after she had gotten there. As were were running that way, she turned to Keisha and said "There's Uncle Curt...he runs like a girl...he's so weird!!" Yep, at 4 years old she's already trying to pass her Daddy off as same crazy uncle!

4. Playing hide and seek: "5,4,3,2,1...here or not, here I come."


She's sweet, and quirky, and oh so lovable. Just can't get enough of that girl.
I'm not sure if it just a part of being a 4 year old or her personality, but she has been SOOOO loving lately. She constantly out of no where will come over and give me a hug and kiss and say "I love you Mom." ALL THE TIME! She hugs and kisses the phone at night when we get to talk and she make a point of being complimentary to others. "Mom, I love that shirt". "Mom, you look pretty today." "Oh I love the shirt you bought me, it's so cute" "Caden, you are such a good colorer. Great job!" I love seeing this trait come out in her. She's just so irresistably cute!
