Camping

It took us all summer, but we finally made it camping on the last weekend before school started. Thanks to the Gillmans and the Paulsens for letting us tag along! We all had fun riding the Rhino and four wheeler, eating treats, roasting marshmallows and twinkies, making tonka toasters, playing games, and swimming.

Everyone loved riding in the Rhino, and Ethan got a personal ride on the four wheeler. After her first ride, KK wanted to ride everytime. She loved it!
Movie time! The older kids were in the tent trailer and the little kids were hanging out in the Gillman's trailer. Reed, Bennett and K (all about the same age) were giggling while watching Max and Ruby. It was all fun until K got locked in the trailer and couldn't get out. SO sad! All the adults were outside playing Sequence while the kids were being entertained.

Katelyn ended up in the momma's sleeping bag sometime in the night. I had retucked her back into hers several times, but she kept wiggling out and she was freezing. Once she was all warm and cozy she stayed asleep until morning. But I was up early with a sore arm and hip. She's so cute though- and those eyelashes!
It was chilly in the morning when we woke up. The kids preferred staying wrapped up in their blankets.


















Erin all cuddled up. We ended up drinking hot chocolate to help warm from the inside out. (Thanks Hillary- always prepared!)

Katelyn finally braved it away from the blankets and onto her scooter.

When we were packing up the gear and the tent Katelyn was so sad. She did not want to go home! We tried to distract her by letting her watch Dora on the Ipod. No luck. Still sad. We need to head out at least once more before it cools off. It was such a fun trip!
