As you can see we used "peeps" in place of marshmellows for roasting into smores. The kids were having fun with that. Putting the peeps to their firey dealth! Yikes! I need to stock back up on marshmellows since summer is here. So hot dogs and fruit and for dessert peeps smores! Not too shabby! Happy kids and full bellies and a little family time!

Guess who's turning "12" this Sunday?! Our "Rookland Bartholomew " (aka "Rookie")! I think a birthday treat is in the plans for this old guy! We have this great ice cream stop (a little pricey but so worth it).
Well they have ice cream for dogs too and every now and then when we have the dogs with us they get a little treat too! They love it! Rookie was our rescue dog! He really is a sweet dog and kinda corky and he cracks us up still. He still as old as he is still thinks he can catch his tale! Crazy pup! He goes in circles so fast and we just crack up! I think he loves his family cause his eyes tell his whole story!

Well Brad convinced me to try one camp out weekend and he promised me it will be fun. So I guess I have to try it once ...I really hate to camp but since he worked so hard in school I guess it can't be too bad! So that is on the list. (What did I get myself into!) I love the movies and the roller skating idea . I've been riding my little Volkswagen bug with the top down these days and the fireflies are so wonderful in the summer. My garden is in full bloom and the pool feels wonderful on these hot, steamy days we've been having. I just need to find a good shady spot in the back yard which I know I will be fighting with the dogs for and pull out my easle and paint away. I was promising myself I would do that this summer. I love watching the sunset on our porch swing and waving to our neighbor friends. That's where I do some great cross stitching there. I just hate the bug bites! Other then that we are ready for this season. The boys will be off to their camps this July and it will be just Angie and I for a little bit. OOOOooo no boys! I have the girls just wanna have fun song in my head right now! ha! ha! I know lots of things she and I can get into. I do have a wedding to go to the begining of July. I haven't been to one in so long. I'm getting my hair done and the dress that has been sitting in my closet with price tags still on waiting for that special day well I think it will be perfect. I'm sporting tan legs to boot too! So I'm looking forward to this. It will be just John and I so it will be kid free! Yippee!
As for John well he has a few trips to take so it will be a little lonely but we are used to it being a former Marine family we've been programed to handle these trips so it's really easy-peasy for us. Oh, John is finally on a BIG-BOY soccer team and he is having a blast! His old man body still has the drive for the sport. My soccer stud! I think this is so good for him! Well that's it for now. I better refill my tall glass of ice water and put a new lemon slice in it and go chill for awhile. I still need to cook a meal for our dogs. We ran out of dog food and I don't food shop tell tomorrow so cooked meal for the pups....they will love me tonite! I can count on a few dog kisses tonite!
It was a great family Sunday and just getting out of the house too. We left the museum with a feeling some body is always watching us and we are watching them! ha! ha! You never know!
