Jake was able to take a week off work when we had the baby! He made it a very fun and special time for all of the kids! They played baseball and jumped on the trampoline! Best of all they had a campout! Braden and Kaitlin set up the tent without help! They also helped set up the sleeping arrangements. They watched a movie and ate popcorn until it got dark and then they had a fire and told ghost stories. Ryan tells the funniest little stories! I think they all got a little sleep.
I took them on Saturday to an Art Festival at the park. The kids made tons of crafts: Braden made a painting by painting a dead fish and then taking its print. Yuck! Bubby made a really cool macaroni necklace and Kaitlin made a fairy wand that was 100% covered in glitter! The thing they wanted to do the most though was face painting!
Jake took Kaitlin and Ryan on a hike up Sauk Mountain. He had to carry Ryan most of the way up. It sure was a beautiful view! The kids have really enjoyed their special time with Dad!
