Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was filled with new experiences.
On Saturday we prepared for our new Cub Scouts to go on their first campout next weekend.
We needed lots of supplies, and after we purchased everything we needed, we tested it all out in the front yard!
 In the evening, we enjoyed a bonfire and outdoor adventure with the Coziers.
The kids had a great time walking the trails, scooting, and roasting marshmallows.
 While Sully and Finn enjoyed the smores, the highlight for Patrick was using a bow and arrow for the first time.  He has been telling us he wants to try archery for so long, and he was thrilled when Andrew and Gill gave each kid a turn.  Such big smiles!
 After swimming at Nannie and Pop Pop's pool all summer, the boys had not yet mustered the courage to conquer the big slide - until this weekend!  On Sunday, Finn decided to give it a go, and went down the slide more times than we could count.  Monday, we all went back to the pool, and with a little convincing from Finn and Gill, all the boys were sliding!  Even all the grownups, including Nannie, enjoyed the wild ride.  I don't have a video of all the boys sliding, because all the adults needed to be present to help with the kids, but here is a video of brave Finnegan trying the slide for the first time.
