A couple weeks ago, Sarah told me that summer was her least favorite season because we do a lot of work. Oops. This summer has definitely been full of work, especially putting in our yard! So Mark and I thought we would surprise the kiddos with a backyard campout! They were SO excited. We set …
As with most, our Fourth of July looked different this year. We normally go to Idaho where we spend the holiday with extended family watching the parade, barbecuing, and fireworks.
