My first post

So, I have never blogged before and to be honest, it's kind of scary! I have never been one to journal, and although I used to love to write, I've kind of gotten away from it. So I hope that my ramblings make as much sense written down as they do in my head!
Even though this is supposed to be a blog with funny things my kids-especially Mckenna- have said, I can't think of anything right now! But I can say it was so fun to watch her interact today with other kids. We are spending the week up at the Alliance Redwoods Camp in Occidental, CA. It is a beautiful camp surrounded by giant redwoods. Ryan runs the camp for middle schoolers and my kids look forward to it all year long. Usually it takes them about 10 minutes after we get home for them to start asking when we are going to go back.
Today I was sitting in the snack shack with Mckenna and she was sitting on the window ledge listening to middle school students sing songs. As soon as they sang a song she recognized, Lady Gaga or a worship song (terrible combo, I know!) she would light up and look at me with a huge grin on her face. At one point she felt comfortable enough to start singing along. That's one of my favorite things-listening to my kids singing.
So although I don't have any funny quotes today, I am sure I will have something to share tomorrow!
