Birthday Boy

Leland turned the big 9 in July.  It is crazy to think that this is his last year as a single digit number and he is half way to 18!!  We had a camping themed party this year.  We played lots of fun games like marshmallow toss, build a giant s'more relay, nature scavenger hunt, worm hunt, and marshmallow shooters to name a few.  We pitched a couple tents.  A few of the boys were not sure about sleeping in the tent, so I ended up in the older boys tent after I took the younger boys inside.  I managed to stay out until about 1:00 a.m. and decided I had enough.  Thankfully all the boys were sleeping so I thought it was safe to go in.  About 4:15 Nate woke up in a panic telling me it was pouring rain.  So we went out and  rounded up the rest of the rest of the boys were slept the rest of the night on Leland's floor.
