Our good friends, Mandy and Theron, invited us to spend the weekend with them at the Whiting Homestead. I used to go there with Mandy when we were little, and I hadn't been in at least 15 years. Our boys were in heaven. They got to camp out in a tent, go to a parade, get as dirty as possible, eat tons of junk food, catch horny toads and chipmunks, and play with their buddies. It was great to get out of the heat too. Thanks for a fun weekend guys!
Crew loves this little blanket from the hospital. On the drive up, he wouldn't take it out of his mouth. It kind of grosses me out. I have to wash it all the time because he drags it everywhere.
The boys loved this rope swing they have on a super steep mountain. It's been there forever. We used to play on it when I would go with Mandy when we were little.
Horny Toad-the boys were obsessed when they heard that they shoot blood out of their eyes.
There were chipmunks everywhere, and Jeremy was determined to catch one. This is his trap.
It was funny because after he caught it, he put a rock on top so it wouldn't get out until Ty got there to see it. A few minutes later, they went back and lifted it up, and the chipmunk had dug it's way out.
Mandy's brother Morgan and sister Angela made us breakfast at the parade. First class service!
We were all too tired to drive to the fireworks show, so the boys got glow sticks and hung out in the tent. We were sitting out on the porch playing games, and we heard one of the kids start screaming. Then we heard all of them join in. We went over there and the tent was shaking and there was a full-on brawl going on inside. When they all finally calmed down enough to talk, Jackson told us that Riggs and Ty started talking about wrestling, then Riggs punched Ty and Ty bit Riggs. Those 2 are both super strong willed, stubborn, and hot-tempered. Neither of them was backing down. They were so mad at each other, but in the morning, they were buddies again. It was pretty funny.
We had a picnic on Greens Peak on Sunday afternoon--10,000 feet up

I love the pictures! It was so much fun with you guys, the boys had such a great time. I love that picture with Crew and Jonathan just hanging out. I am so sorry that you all got sick on the drive home...the canyon is horrible. You guys are always welcome to camp with us. What is up with my wild child biting? He is crazy-so sorry.
WHAT kind of toads?

That is too funny about Riggs' fight. He is a tough little fart.
