Camping out!

Last night the kids decided to camp out. It was a beautiful night! It also got very cold. And so by morning one of the littles had snuggled up to one of the bigs to keep warm. How great it is to have big sisters! :)

We took all these pictures at night, even though it looks like during the day.  This is a 10 man tent we got last year.  The last time we all slept in it was last fall.  It got down to 44 degrees that night, and we decided that was enough camping for the year! :)

Sarah roughing? it? :)

There were quite a few coyotes heard last night.  Much to Dan's surprise.  We all didn't stay out last night. But we all hung out and talked for a little while which is always fun!

Liv keeping warm and safe by dad.

Emily didn't stay out. She just came out and visited for awhile.  After so many long days at work, a good nights rest sounded pretty good, rather than freezing to death with her siblings!  :)

All in all it was a fun night. And I'm sure there will be many more to come this summer!

Today Sam & Doug are cultivating a patch of beans next to the house.


Glenn, one of our farm landlords, gave Doug & Sam this 4 row cultivator.  Perfect for Sam to learn how to get the cultivating job done. 

My handsome farmer :)


Well that's what's going on so far today.  It's going to be another beautiful one. Thanks for visiting! :)

  1. That looks like fun! We were hoping that this year we could putour tent up and leave it. Then sleep in it any hot summer night that we wanted to, but it has been so cold and there is always rain or a storm coming. So we haven't set it up at all yet. And I don't think it is going to work for us to sleep in our tent @ my party tonight cause there is 60% chance of rain and possible hail. I am also worried that the dogs barking would keep us up. :) Oh well!
    The pictures of Sam and U. Doug are great!!!

  2. Hi Kristi! I always enjoy your posts (and Sarah's, and everyone else's too)*smile*
    Looks like a ton of fun camping. We have a tent and have been talking about getting it out... I think it's time...that is one HUGE tent that you have. We are thinking of you often as you await little #9, and we are praying too! We had a beautiful morning here and got a lot of outside jobs done which is good because now it is raining! Tim & the crew are working on the horse stall...maybe one of these days we'll actually get a horse...Sarah we may be hollering for advice!
    love,
    Ruth
