Weekend with the Platts

Our friend, Ben Platt, is going to be deployed at the end of July sometime and since we are headed to the States for a few weeks we have been trying to squeeze in as much "Platt family fun time" as we can.  This past weekend we went camping together on Friday, saw a movie together on Saturday and then did Family Home Evening together on Monday.  I don't know how they put up with our crazy family but when we get together it all seems to work out nicely.

Did I mention we camped in teepees?  Pretty interesting.  No floor, just grass.  It got pretty cold at night but I think overall the boys thought it was a lot of fun to camp in a teepee and the bonus for us: we didn't have to pack up a tent the next morning!

Roasting hot dogs around the fire.

Cael and Townsend having dinner.

It happened to be Cael's birthday last Friday as well.  We all enjoyed the cupcakes Becky brought.  Julian would eat the frosting off his cupcake and then give the rest to Mommy...I didn't mind:)

Saturday, waiting in the theater for Kung Fu Panda 2 to begin.

Before we headed out for our Family Home Evening trek through the forest the boys all got dressed up in full battle gear and had fun "fighting" with all the toy swords we have acquired since living here in Germany.

After such a fun weekend we had some serious scrubbing to do to get these kiddos clean:)

  1. The boy on the left was my dream boy last night and he really cracked me up LOL! https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxOJPZmKrqrfm-IOqWRjoNL_d9Al_CYD0UI2Ysm3qq_-h9qgMjAlgKkb99uN-QzrPMnP4qcYjg72gXPoPUhpsmd80xmeQCZKwzEvOK273c-T9JhIMeyqWzQGxgkbZvGjeyjIv1stu9E5DR/s0/IMG_2039.JPG I told him it was time to get ready for his bath. He was busy playing a video game and did not want to take a bath, so I sat down next to him and slipped off his shoes and socks and smelled his feet and toes. I told him his feet were stinky so he had to have a bath. He finally said OK! I ran his bath water and watched him undress. When he finished undressing I suggested he smell his feet to see what I meant. He sat down and began smelling his feet. He finally looked up at me and exclaimed, "yup, I got stinky feet so I definitely need a bath" LOL!
