Finn and his pirate camp

We have had so many fun things since my last post that I could probably break this up into three separate posts, but I will do my best to summarize the highlights.

Finn celebrated his 5th birthday.  Yes, his actual birthday is on the 29th of July, but we celebrated a few days early because his brothers were heading to camp (more on that).  Finn wanted a "Pirate Party" so we bought a few inflatable pirate swords, some eyepatches, and pirate decor.  We rented a bounce house with water and John smoked several pounds of pork for our BBQ.  Finn loved it and had such an awesome time.  He enjoyed his friends, the attention, the gifts, his pirate cake, etc....

Luke and Liam left for camp on Monday after Finn's party on Saturday night.  This was their first overnight week long camp.  I don't have details yet on what they thought because we will be picking them up this weekend.  They went to Covenant Pines Bible camp about 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities.  About 15 of their friends also attended camp so I would imagine it was WAY too much fun!!

Aiden attended VBS at our church this week with several of his buddies from school.  He, too, had a great week and it was a good distraction while his brothers were away at camp.

Overall, it has been an easier week in terms of laundry and cooking and other things around the house.  But, I know we are all four very excited to pick up Luke and Liam from camp and hear how their week was.
