Family Fun

We had a fun weekend with the boys!  Friday, we went to the South Mountain fair and the boys enjoyed the animals, tractors, and rides.  Yesterday, we had to do some errands but the boys got plenty of play time in at the Red Run grill pirate ship (maybe the best we've done eating out in a while, thanks to the playground at the restaurant) and Misty Meadow Creamery...we better enjoy it while these types of little adventures still make our boys happy.  Today, we hiked up to Cunningham Falls, in Thurmont, MD.  It is a 1/2 mile hike up, so a total of 1 mile up and back.  Both boys walked the entire way up, and Brennan walked the entire way back down, while Jace walked almost the whole way down.  Actually, they ran most of the way.  Nate and I were quite impressed, that's a lot of walking for little legs!

Picking out some things for luau day on Friday

Saturday morning art

Jace's art from school and home.  

They do lots of crafts with their hands and feet, so cute!

Brennan's art from school, some of this is older...they must have cleaned out the classroom

Hiking up to Cunningham falls

He wanted his picture taken with lots of big rocks.

Bubba's!  It's so fun watching these 2 and seeing how much they love each other!

They ran most of the way!

The falls, I couldn't get a good picture

My 3 favorite guys!

Headed back down!

Quick dip in the lake

These are from Saturday at Misty Meadow Creamery...they have wonderful ice cream and that's coming from a tough ice cream critic!

Even fun for big kids!

Grilled pizza, something fun we started doing this summer...we buy frozen pizza dough and grill it up with our favorite toppings.  Make sure you use olive oil on the side you put down and oil the other side before you flip and top it with goodies.

Nothing better than smores after the pizza

So maybe these don't look great in the pic, but these are so good.  If you have peppers and tomatoes from your garden here's a good use.  I don't follow this exact, I use hamburger and Italian sausage rather than the meatballs and just put the other ingredients in without really measuring.  Nate loves them, he ate 3!
