Laughing about Daddy's surprise

Sleepy boy

It was cool and breezy this morning. Jared and I got the coffee percolating and sat under the awning to knit. We heard a loon out on Lake Fanny Hooe. Grandma came to sit with us while we waited for the boys to wake up. Jacob was the first one up. He and I took a bike ride and then played Uno. Adam and Eli slept in until almost 9:30. After breakfast we took a walk around the campground. Then we went to the dock so Jacob and Adam could do some fishing. After lunch Adam and I took a bike ride while Daddy, Jacob, and Eli relaxed in the hammock. Then we went to town to visit Dennis and Leslie. Daddy, Jacob, and Adam rode their bikes into town. Dennis was raku firing today. Leslie gave us some cool compass pins and some really neat bug books. Jacob was really interested in the books. Back at camp we took the boys to the fort store. They'd brought some of their money and wanted to buy something. Jacob and Adam put their money together to buy a civil war play set. Eli bought some skittles. The boys were really hoping Daddy was going to surprise them with orange push ups. He went back in for something and we waited on the bench in the middle of the hill. The boys were talking about if Daddy was going to get push-ups or a bag of ice.  Suddenly Adam noticed Daddy sitting at the bottom of the hill with three push ups. The boys laughed and ran down the hill to Daddy.  It was really funny and the boys couldn't figure out how Daddy got past us. Back at camp we started a fire for dinner.  Eli fell asleep in the hammock and we woke him when dinner was ready. After dinner Eli and Daddy went to town and came back with a surprise (pops). This evening we went for a walk over to Pebble beach. The boys had fun playing with Adam's "tank".  Jared and I looked for pretty rocks. It sprinkled on and off while we were there. Back at camp we built our evening fire.
