The annual Labor Day weekend camping event with our Cornerstone family at the Spruces was a lot of fun this year (minus a couple of scary moments). The weather was beautiful (no rain!) and the company was enjoyable.

Madeline was making bracelets but found a 'cool' dinosaur to play with.

Our scary moments happened on Sunday morning. First, Brayden (Tera and Mario's boy) fell and hit his head on a rock which sent him to the ER for stitches. Two hours later Grace fell and her hair clip went right through her forehead! (Hairclips are now banned in the Fuhrken household). We took her to an InstaCare (thank God for people who work on holiday Sundays) and they ended up gluing her back together. We thought she was crying all the way down the canyon because she was hurting but it ended up being that she didn't want to get a shot for stitches. So, thankfully it didn't come to that. We were back to camp by mid-afternoon ready for a hike around Silver Lake.
Gracie's ready for her first day of school.
Grace was so excited to start Preschool and be a 'big girl' like her older sister. She has grown up so much over the summer. She loves getting out 'on her own' and making new friends. My baby isn't a baby anymore! *Sniff*
