Babypacking at Brighton

We had such a fun Fourth of July weekend. Ryan got off of work early on Thursday so we could head up to his grandparent's cabin for the night. We played cards that night with Grandma and Grandpa Bevan, Uncle Curt (or Turt to Ruthie), Liz and Missy. Friday morning there was a huge pancake breakfast in the parking lot of the church at Brighton. Yum! Then we all headed off on a day hike to Lake Solitude. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved the view from the packs. Tate slept half of the time as you can see in the pictures. Ruthie is now officially potty trained, so she had her first attempt going in the wilderness. After 20 minutes of coaxing, she decided she'd wait for a potty instead of a rock! Ryan was really hoping she could hold it that long! Ryan took the kids to a Bees baseball game and fireworks that night while Sarah enjoyed fireworks for a minute from the 3rd floor of the hospital while she worked. There were a lot of babies born this Fourth!
