Summer Highlights for the Schroeders
Dear Family and Friends,
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We finished up our camps in July and then we had family camp and Ladies retreat coming up soon. We started our summer out by going camping on Grand Mesa. It was our first voyage with "The Beast." Our 1976 Motorhome. We were so excited and we had fun fishing with Abigail(it was her first time). We tried the whole worm thing, but she just liked plopping her line down in the water over and over. It was so cute. Then we went on a few walks, threw our hawk and knife, had s'mores (of course, what's camping without those?). Enjoyed eachothers company and being out in God's creation. It was a little chilly though. But our motorhome broke down (the alternator went out). Our friend was up fishing at the same lake we were at so he charged our battery and we were able to make it home. What an adventure.
We also were able to go to Utah to my grandma's movie theatre. It is a family tradition to go over Memorial weekend and sleep over in the theatre. We sleep in the aisles, the office, the film room, the lobby, where ever we can. We eat all the popcorn, candy, nachos, drinks we want. Watch movies all night if we want. It is a blast. Then we go to my grandpa's graveside in the morning for the memorial service. Many fun memories.
Our theme this year for High School week was Vikings. It was a blast dressing up and having some yummy food. The kids loved it. They never know what we are going to do each year.
We also had two kittens for the summer, but they have died. Abigail had the most fun with these kittens. Their names were Coyote and Bobcat and their last name was Bait. Abigail would dunk them in their water bowl (Baptizing them, Just kidding), she would swing them around, put them in her bike basket, read stories to them, all kinds of things. She was fun to watch with them. Our cabin at camp was very popular because of the kittens. They were spoiled.
Abigail turned three in July and we had a party with kids at camp. My parents came out to celebrate. It was a lot of fun. Abigail loved getting all of the presents. Now whenever she sees a present she thinks it is for her. She really loves crafty things now. Coloring, cutting, gluing, making necklaces and braclets. Although, one day she decided that it would be fun to stick a bead up her nose. We ended up having to go to the ER to get it removed. That was not fun!!! She also took on crash off the swings and hit her eye so in her birthday pictures she had a bruised eye.
Josiah is almost nine months now and is almost crawling. He gets around by wiggling around on his bum. It is so cute. He has learned how to get into the entertainment center and get the movies out. He can also pull himself up in his crib. He weighs twenty pounds already and loves chocolate.
