Crayons and Camping

We made some wicked cool crayons Thursday. It was a fun EASY project, the best part was watching them melt. Well Julia also really liked taking the cupcake wrappers off them too.





















We went camping Friday and it was really fun. The best part was watching the girls have a camping experience. Julia LOVES to camp, she said so all night long. Lauren was awesome, camping agrees with her too. Poor thing had to share a sleeping bag with me and this for a girl who does not like to be covered up, it was challenging, but she only woke up once, although the whole camp knew she was up, we were both pretty agitated.
I LOVED making Hawaiian haystacks for dinner- they are THE best and we only have then when camping so its a cool little tradition we started last year. The girls eat them up which is also why I love them.

There was some SCARY lightening for about 20 minutes so we made sure to roast our marshmallows and head for bed. So glad it didn't storm!!!
