Eli has been earning lollipops through out his potty training. The neatest thing to see is the way he so generously shares with his brothers. His is just as excited when his brothers take a lick as when he gets one. Such a giving heart!
Grandpa has been looking forward to this adventure for a LONG time and it finally came. All three boys headed off to Big Pine to camp and fish. The boys had a great time and Ezekiel even caught the largest fish.
And of course, while camping, you eat fish for breakfast.
They also did some hiking. Ezekiel hiked a total of 6 miles one day and then 4 the next.
Its the middle of August so that means it was time for the Benning Campout. It was a fun time, but sickness did have its way through our family making our time a little tough. For instance, one night Titus cried the ENTIRE night. Not just a little sweet whimper, but a gut wrenching scream that the entire campground heard ALL NIGHT. I even had a stranger ask if that was my baby last night :( Poor little guy was sick and cutting 3 teeth at once. I guess that does account for the crankiness.
He did show a little of his sweet personality during the day.
The boys had a great time riding bikes, playing, and getting super dirty.
We also made a visit to the beach.
And finally we found the amazing lollipop tree. What a fun tradition that I remember loving as a kid. It is so neat to see my boys participating in something that I have such fond memories of.
