Camping

Headed back to a favorite campground this summer with my parents and sisters.  We had wonderful weather and a fun time together! Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Birthday gift from Hoffmans! (legos!!!)


Brooke decided to just walk around looking ridiculously cute in her swim suit and glasses :)

more gifts! from the Davis' - a travel bag for her American Girl doll!


Sweet April getting tickled (almost to death) by Pap.

"Hey girl. Love my swim shirt?"

"Hey boys! Got some goggles here!"

Chloe figured out she could blow water through the pool noodle!


Almost unbelievably, Smokey the Bear was at the campground.  Take a moment to remember the other time we met him:

Poor Aunt Chelle volunteered to take Chloe up, not knowing she'd throw the biggest freak-out. 


Then Kevin took her, screaming the whole way...

Uncle Bill wasn't scared!

Baby April wasn't scared either. 

Fast-forward to this year.....and everyone was a fan!!


Camping means waking up early ...

So that means plenty of time for early morning canoe rides.

And throwing back some "second breakfast" by 9:30.


On Saturday my mom, my sisters, and I tried paddle-boarding.  It was fun!

(had to put this one in here, because we were all so concerned about Laura getting on her board - we are all just staring at her though ;)  Once she conquered it, we decided we'd be able to as well!)



After 30 minutes, the guys took their turn. 


And, on Sunday, when your parents are trying to pack up the camping gear and you are a busy 15 month old, chances are they will let you fill the stroller with gravel.

Cutie.

Family picture! (To all in the photo: your hard copy will be coming in the mail as soon as I find some envelopes! :) )

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
