Table Rockin' and Rollin'... for a week!





The annual Draper side summer vacation came to a close today. We spent a week at Old Highway 86 campground with my Grandma and Grandpa Draper, Aunt Barbara and Uncle Walter, my cousin Shelby and his wife Kaysie and their kids, and my cousin Amy and her husband Jason and their kids. We also had various visitors throughout the week.


There were several activities going on at all times, so there was never a lack of movement. Grandma and Grandpa's motorhome was the hub of the camp. From fishing trips and swimming to bike rides and the playground, we were busy. Even Amy's 9mo baby Owen had several trips in the wagon!
These times are some I cherish, and some I could never forget. Our family is so blessed, and we have so much to look forward to in the future.
Silas had his second basketball game with the Blue Buffalos and he scored a basket!! These kids really pick up on the game quickly! All of the kids were great, especially my Air Mitchener!

Air Mitchener



Silas had his first basketball game tonight. He is in a 3-4 year old league. He didn't score any baskets, but he has the running thing down for sure! The kids were so cute and everyone comes out a winner!



We are packing the camper tonight to head out to Table Rock Lake for a week. We will leave tomorrow afternoon and spend the week with my mom's side of the family. It will be alot of fun, we have been looking foreward to it all summer. I am sure I will have alot to blog about when we get home!

The Fruits of our labor




This year we put out an experimental garden. We didn't really expect much as a return. But, despite our greatest efforts, we were able to harvest a few things over the past couple of weeks. This is beautiful cilantro and our first green pepper. Since this picture, we have harvested some red and yellow tomatoes, a few cucumbers and some jalapenos. We are counting it a success!
Silas and I played trains one afternoon and I thought he was really cute in his train conductor costume, so I had to include this picture!
