Wild West City

Yes, it's still there! Everything is the same as when we were kids, except for the part where Spiderman came barreling down Main Street on a horse.

Backyard Camping

We want to go camping with the kids, so we decided to give it a "trial run" in the back yard. Everything was perfect - no detail was missed. We set up the tent, blew up the air mattresses, sleeping bags, the whole nine yards. We even picked up one of those 10 dollar charcoal grills from Walmart and cooked hot dogs and grilled marshmallows. Unfortunately, we couldn't control the temperature outside and overnight it dropped to 50 degrees, which was too cold for Ryan to sleep. We'll try it again next summer but we'll go in July or August. The tent was great though. It reminded me of the old Hillery canvas tent that dad took us camping in when we were kids.

Dinner and Dancing

Friday night was dinner and movie night. We got chinese food and watched Mall Cop with the kids, then Danielle and Joey danced till bedtime.
