First camping trip of the season! Whitewater State Park with the ladies!
Tradition dictates that Peter makes a tent for his cuddle friends...and this year is no different!
First thing on the list of things to do....S'MORES! and boy were they tasty!
Another camping tradition - glow sticks. One broke in Jamison's hand and fortunately i learned from the Hansen family that they are not toxic, even if your daughter broke it in their mouth. Knowing that, and being super interested in his glowing hand we took a picture but would not leave it that way as Jamison hoped.
Saturday morning we were all up for a hike to Chimney Rock and Inspiration Point.
Chimney Rock is always a favorite!
Why is it the kids have to climb on the one big rock that is super close to a HUGE drop off? But for a cute picture i would risk it.
Peter made it out a little farther than he did in years previous, but still not out all the way.
The kids are going to hate us soon for making them pose together but this is a good one!
See, i did it again, and this time I am even going to compare it to the first get-together.
I cant wait to embarrass them when they are older! Here they were ages 3 and 2.
In the afternoon we had some fun beach time! They can run like the energizer bunny...and when the lips turn blue, they are done!
Presents!all kid crack- squinkies for the girls and beyblades for the boys!
Storms held out until after we ate dinner and had birthday treats. We ran for the shelter to play some card games and color.
The storms didn't last long so we got another short hike in before bed.....and then bigger storms came later. Fortunately we all stayed relatively dry.
Sunday....another hike! don't the kids look excited! I think we have succeeded in tiring them out!
Earlier in the week we watched the original Karate Kid. Jamison was inspired by Daniel-san. Wipe on, wipe off!
On this hike we went through some meadows that were great to catch critters. Lucy won my heart...her love for all things creepy crawly is awesome! but is sure made for a slow hike. Thanks Stacey, Shelby, Lily and Lucy for a great weekend!
