We were at the school in the outdoor classroom and I got a cute picture of the kids.

The Family went camping for the first time in a long time. Abby and Aidan were probably Anders and Sophie's age the last time we went as a family. Camping is not my favorite thing to do. It was really nice to go do something together though. We happened to pick a camping spot next to a family we knew, so we had a late night game of uno with them. That was fun! The kids had fun playing in the water and exploring. Everyone slept ok but me, I was up all night. I think I was laying on bed of rocks and I was freezing. I was up as soon as the sun was up. I got the fire going again. And once everyone was up we made breakfast and got all packed up and ready to go. We tried to start the car but the battery was dead. Luckily some other people came along early that wanted our camp spot so we got a jump from them.
Before school was out Abby and a couple of her good pals were in a talent show. They did a comedy skit. James was a little wild with the scissors but it was cute and funny. I'm proud of her for getting up in front of an audience and having a good time. It was so fast and I wasn't sitting in a very good place to get real good pictures.
I just realized at Anders preschool party that the boy is not very sociable. He did not like the big group party. I wonder where he got that. I think he enjoyed preschool though. This is the last year that Traci, his preschool teacher, is teaching. I'm sad because Traci is a wonderful teacher and she taught preschool to Abby, Aidan and Anders.
Tollefson Day 2010 was not the best Tollefson Day ever, but we managed to have some fun. We started off the day at the church. Seth signed up to donate blood. There was a blood drive and a preparedness fair. I don't think we were prepared for how long it was going to take to do the blood donation. They had a fire truck and the life flight helicopter there for the kids to check out. I walked through the preparedness fair and got some information and saw the best wheat grinder ever. It is now on my wish list. So Seth finally got done giving his blood and we were off to turn in our cans at the recycling company that we saved up for a year. We showed up a half hour after they closed. So we went to lunch. We didn't go where we wanted to go, cause it was terrible busy and we were hungry. We ended up going to Denny's. They had one of those claw machines with the stuffed animals. We gave the kids each a turn. They didn't have any luck, so Dad had a turn and got a bear for Sophie. Then we were off to go bowling. Bowling was the highlight of the day. It was really fun. I don't think any of us got a good score. Before we headed home we stopped at Walmart to let the kids pick out something small. We usually use our can money to get something fun, but we missed the boat.
