1. General Conference Bingo (thanks Aunt Carol!) David actually sat through a whole session thanks to this game.
2. We had a weekend of good weather and decided to go camping. Well, camping is a relative term. If you define it as sleeping in a tent and building a fire, then yes, we went camping. If it includes solitude in the mountains, then no, basically we were sleeping in a backyard. But hey, when you only go one hour away from Chicago you are still going to be surrounded by people.
However, the kids only knew that we were "camping" and they loved it. 
This was mine and Nathans separate tent. The kids are getting a little to big for all of us to fit in one tent. So, I took advantage of it and brought along the pack n' play. We were right next to an electrical outlet (needed to pump up the air mattress) and a public bathroom, "ruffing it" isn't something they do here.
It was fun but probably our last time at this spot.
We did enjoy BEAUTIFUL scenery the next day at Indiana Dunes State Park. We saw beautiful leaves and went for a hike after stopping at the nature center.
3. Our next adventure was a field trip with David's preschool to a pumpkin farm. It was his first ride on a school bus and that was pretty much the best part.
We're excited for Halloween, this year is the most effort we've ever put in to our costumes. Check back in a couple of weeks.....

We LOVE the dunes!
Chris is scoutmaster and is always amazed and the camp-grounds (that are in the middle of towns). It's not quite the same, is it?
Looks like so much fun.
Good call on 2 tents :) That's a great idea. We still have the same tent we got right when we got married--I don't know what we were thinking, I guess we weren't thinking about having kids . . .
So the conference bingo picture is now hanging on my office wall!! Love that you're campers. My favorite memories are camping memories.....oh wait.....that's about all we ever did!!! But still it was a blast!!! Your kids are so cute!! Love ya!!
Good post Sue Ann, and it was really fun to talk to you on skype the other night. I am excited to see the Halloween costumes. So super fun. You are both awesome parents.
