Right before we left for Italy, Teage's family came for a visit from Utah. We took the opportunity to have a Christensen family picture taken by one of my friends who also happens to be a fantastic photographer....if you would like to see her website go to http://www.ravissantphotography.com/.
A few weeks after Itlay we were able to go camping with some great friends of ours, the Waggoners. The boys had never been camping before, and I was deathly afriad to sleep in a tent with two 2-year old boys, so we went to Camp Zarahemla where they have rustic cabins to rent instead. :) What a perfect camping experience for me! We still cooked all meals outside, played and had fun at the lake, and had all other fun "real" camping experiences, but had a nice roof over our head when we slept. :) Perfect! We had so much fun with our friends, probably a little too much actually. We had a hard time leaving so Teage could get back to work. We went canoeing everyday, ate way too many smores, played soccer with all of the boys and Maddie, etc etc. What a blast!
The boys' first smores experience! It was so funny to watch them try to eat all the chocolate they could without getting marshmellow all over themselves.
The boys having a little pow-wow...
The boys are also completely obsessed with baseball right now. Every time they see any game on TV, any picture in the newspaper, they start yelling about "hitting far" and "Ichiro!!". They really get excited about it. So, we decided to go to one last game before the end of the season, and end of summer. We were worried about the boys being up too late, the games don't start until 7pm, but they did amazing! Dylan didn't even want to leave at 9:30 at night, they were having too much fun! They were high-fiving, singing, dancing, cheering for the "Mariners!!!!!". They were even dancing so hard that they ended up on the jumbo-tron in the stadium! It was so much fun! Both boys were standing on our laps dancing during the middle of an inning and all of a sudden I look up at the screen, and there we are!
Bye bye summer....we will miss you! :)

What a great summer! family reunions are great! And the pictures your friend took are fantastic! We were going to go camping with some friends too but went the traditional route with tents and got rained out! Not just normal drizzle, it was gushing!!! We'll have to check out the place you went to!
What a cute family! I love camping pictures, there's something so happy about dirty, suntanned faces! Looks like an awesome summer!
I love readng about your family and looking at the great pictures! obviously, you've had a fun summer with your little family!
Great pictures!:) I love the one with all of Teage's family!:)
So fun! The best part about this is that your boys will remember camping and activities next summer. You'll say that you're going to go camping or go to the beach or whatever and then they will talk about things you thought they'd long forgotten.
