Camp Zarahemla

Today is going to be a busy, busy day. We've got a full day of school lessons, plus we need to catch up on two Science lessons (We're learning about light, and yesterday the kids and I crammed into my tiny bedroom closet to shine a flashlight on a mirror and some tin foil) and a Language Arts lesson. We might save one of the Science lessons for Friday when Brian might be home - I dunno.

So it's 7:13. The kids alarm will go off at 7:30, so I've got to get this post done quick!

Last weekend everyone in my family who lives in the Tri-Cities (except Dave and Sara, who had to work, although technically they live in Connel) headed to Camp Zarahemla near Naches, Washington for a fabulous weekend of sledding on ice packed snow, slipping and bumping our heads, eating lots of cake (oh, that was just me), eating lots of yummy other foods, playing games, running around the lodge like crazy huligans (that was the kids), and enjoying a heaping amount of fun and frivolity.

Here's the pictures to prove I'm not lying:

Crazy Brian and slightly shocked and amazed Alyssa

Asher and Marcus' matching pajamas

No, I am not hiding from the camera. I'm laughing hysterically after trying to sit on the corner of my parents blow up bed with a glass of water and sliding completely off, splashing my water across the floor.

It's currently 7:48. I wasn't nearly quick enough. Alyssa got out of bed at 7:24, and apparently the alarm wasn't set, because the boys are still sleeping. Time to get a move on!
