Tigger Megan was excited to play with Tigger Jonathan today.  She even helped put him to sleep and got to hold him while he took a nap.

The Bedtime Story
Last night, we drove up to Lake Ann Camp to pick up the kids. We told Megan we were going camping, but not where. She enjoyed listening to the last two chapters of Paddington Bear by flashlight before she curled up in her sleeping bag for the night.
Mommy Camp- Tuesday
On Tuesday, we went to Wellfield Botanical Gardens. We enjoyed the flowers and people watching. Just before we left, we were told there was a class and art project for children. We went to that. The bird feeder that Megan made was fun, but the class itself was geared for much younger children.
After lunch with Daddy, we colored and played outside some. We got ready to play in the sprinkler and Megan came outside to discover Thor hogging it. Megan got to get wet before a storm we had been watching came in. She did not mind because she got to make dinner instead!
Megan made her first batch of macaroni and cheese. It is a super easy recipe, given to Andrea years ago by my friend Kristi. Butter a baking dish, add uncooked noodles, cover the noodles with milk, season to taste and add shredded cheese to the top and bake for about an hour at 350. Easy but yummy!
At bedtime, Megan was asleep almost immediately.

Mommy Camp-Day One
Yesterday, Allan drove the o
lder four children to camp. Â Megan was excited that Mommy Camp started!
Megan had a lot of fun. She made grilled cheese sandwiches all by herself for our lunch. They were very good!  We ate ice cream.  She read a little and then we went to the mall to see if we 
could find some fun projects to do this week.
Daddy got home around 4:30. Â We enjoyed a cook out and Megan played on the swings. Â She practiced crossing her eyes and then we just relaxed and enjoyed a quiet evening with each other.

Prediction Run
A few weeks ago, Audrey was invited to her first prediction run. Â She ran 5k in the woods ahead of the friend who invited her. Â Mark and Andrea have joined her for the last two weeks.
Mark said that when they get to the race, they write down the time they think they will take to run 5k. Â After running, they write down their time and find out how close they were.
This was Andrea’s first time running the 5k and she took 28 minutes.  Since she only runs during soccer, that is not bad.  Mark was off by 28 seconds on his guess of 22 minutes.  Audrey however, ran it in 26.58, which was 2 seconds off of her guess and won this week!  She came home with a medal and a huge smile.
Early Morning Break
The loft is a nice place to watch the alpacas, enjoy the breeze and just relax for a few minutes before starting the day.
