The Great Outdoors...

Playing Bocce Ball with Grandpa

Cordova Tower used to be a water tower. It has 170 steps and stands 106 feet above the ground. It was a great view!

Lucas made it halfway up the spiraling steps and then Ryan carried him on his shoulders the rest of the way~

Half of our family!!:) The other 3 stayed with Grandma.

Come and get it!

A few weeks ago we went camping with my family near Red Rock Lake in Pella. The kids were so excited to go and we had a great time. The weather couldn't have been better. We enjoyed spending time outdoors relaxing, playing on the playground, climbing Cordova Tower and spending time with our family. Drew, Lauren, and I slept in my parent's camper and Ryan stayed with Lucas, Reagan, and Dexter in the tent. I think it was a toss up as to which parent got the most sleep!:)
