We had a great time camping last weekend. My kids absolutely LOVE to camp. So on Friday afternoon, we loaded up and went to our favorite camping spot, Two Rivers.
Jake was in heaven being outside for 2 days straight and even did great sleeping in the tent.
I just love Jake's camping flannel. Not the greatest picture, but he just looks like a little man!
We loved having the Tyrrell's camp with us. These kids are so fun and have a great time together.
Aaron and Rob took the kids fishing for a few hours while the babies slept and the moms relaxed.
Grace was excited about catching a fish and reeling it in. But she wanted nothing to do with it once it came out of the water!
Jake ate a turkey sandwich!!
We had some delicious food while camping. The Tyrrell's made us their favorite camping treat which consists of bananas sliced open and filled with chocolate and marshmallows and then wrapped up in foil and cooked over hot coals. They even brought ice cream to go on top! They were so good. The girls were helping get them ready and did a lot of taste testing!
My camera battery died before I was able to get pictures of all the fun things we did. So here is what I missed: 3 legged races, bike rides, bike rides and more bike rides!, snipe hunting, arm wrestling tournament, camp fires and Settlers, catching toads, playing in the dirt and sand, hikes, and sunburns.
A few great quotes from our sweet Lucy:
This was said to Aaron after he got sunburned, "Dad, you can go in the girl's bathroom because you're pink!"
"Camping is ALL about getting dirty."
The kids are begging to go again. I think this is going to be a regular weekend excursion for us.

I love the pictures you were able to get. Those kids just keep getting bigger! So, did Aaron go in the women's bathroom? Just Kidding. Looks like lots of fun!
wow! loved the blog, loved the pictures, can't believe how big jake is getting, loved lucy's comments, what a fun weekend!
Lucy's comment about Aaron being pink is Hilarious! And I love the picture of Grace and the fish. Looks like fun, I wish we lived closer!
That doesn't sound like any ordinary camping trip. That's camping deluxe (as Clara would say). How fun. Wish we could have come with...
Wow! Camping already! I guess it is getting that time of year. That looked soo-oo fun for all of you. It made me want to be there. Keep fishing, the kids will learn to love those fish-even Grace. You can teach the rest of our grandkids this summer. We can't wait!
Sounds like a party covered in dirt! I haven't played Settlers forever...probably since we last played with you guys.
