Every year on Labor Day Weekend Scott meets his brother in law, Ty and his boys for a camping trip near Greer, Az. This has been a tradition for 7 years now and the best part about this whole weekend, is that the mom's get to STAY HOME! I don't think there is a better vacation for a mom. Mom stays home and all the kids leave, doesn't get better than that. I know, sounds bad but I look forward to this weekend every year. My sister usually gets to see a lot of me, sorry Jason and hopefully I will get a few projects accomplished and maybe squeeze in a little nap in tomorrow after church (and not feel guilty about it). I sent the camera with instructions to please get some great photos... so we will see what big daddy comes back with. Hope everybody's weekend is as relaxing as mine will be. Ha! Ha!
Labor Day Weekend 2005
This is them camping in 2005... Sophie's was not invited & I love Cannon in this picture, it pretty well describes him.
Labor Day Weekend 2007
Last year Ty couldn't make it. So, Scott wanted to keep the tradition alive and left Mom @ home and he took ALL the kids and went to San Diego for the weekend. I love this picture because I can tell that Taylor did Sophie's hair and I love what a great big sister she is to her. This was Sophie's 1st invite, so this year is actually her 1st time camping with the cousins!
Scott is such a sport & a great father, I hope someday they will appreciate all he does.......
I don't think I would ever do this!
in fact i know i wouldn't, because i never have ☹

I am so jealous! Enjoy your weekend!!
I am ultra impressed with Scott and very jealous of you! First of all, what dad will not only take all the kids, but will remember to take pictures??!? Those pictures are so great. Those kids will so treasure up those great memories. We moms are just around them so much with things like that and the Dads don't ever get them to themselves. I think I'll have to talk to Dave about that one...
And to have a weekend to really get caught up on life? Man I'd love it. Have a great time!
I too am impressed with Scott. I love that he has this tradition with the kids. We also love hanging out with you! It's so fun to do NOTHING all weekend!
btw... that picture if Cannon is PRICELESS!!!! LOVE IT!
What a GREAT tradition - Scott is amazing! I was just thinking how great it would be to get away for a couple of days alone, but I like this idea much better - I would get soooo much done! Mom & Wendell are doing great! They recently retired and moved to Florida. We have got to catch up soon!
