2nd Annual Orange Pocket Knife Campout

In 2011 the family decided that every April we will go camping as a family in "Dad's Dream". For the first year we went to Meramec State Park. For 2012 we went to Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park and had a blast. We spent Saturday morning at nearby Elephant Rocks State Park. There's a decent 1 mile loop around the cluster of granite boulders that make it a fun trip with a little bit of exercise too. If you need to burn a day, Elephant Rocks is a great place to go.

 David rode all the way to the top in the 3 wheeler. Woobie and all.

Jessica @ Thirty

So Jessica turned 30 on April 20th and we had some family and friends over. Everyone had a great time. I'm sure next year we'll have a 30th birthday party all over again.

Thanks to everyone who came and to make sure the day was well remembered.
