Camping #1

  • This past weekend we had the honor of using my parents camper for the first time and hopefully many times to follow.  Our potluck groups got together this past saturday at the winamac state park and some of us who enjoy camping went on friday night.  Needless to say we absolutely loved every minute of it and dread ever going back into a tent like previous years.  In the picture below you can see my parents camper there to the left of the picture.  We had so much fun that we are actually heading out again this weekend so stay tunned for pictures for this coming weekend.
We are all getting ready to eat lunch together.

Here are some of the kids that camped on friday night.

I think Liam LOVED sleeping on the bunk bed.

Ellie did awesome and I think that was what made it so enjoyable!  Had she been a crank or slept poorly Id think twice before camping again.  She went to bed around 9pm, up to feed once and then back to bed she would sleep until like noon!!!  Several asked me where she was and were surprised by how good of a baby girl she is.  Unfortunently I found her sleeping like this though!!!  We must, we must break this habit soon!  I try and replace fingers with a paci as soon as I see it, but of course I snapped a picture first.


Eating breakfast.  I keep it pretty simple as we are NOT big breakfast eaters.  Cereal it was.

So the Cook girls were painting toenails and fingernails with the Leman girls and Kels Gutwein....and they asked if they could paint Ellie's toes.  I picked the lightest color of pink they had and let them paint away.  Nick was not so sure about it, and in fact said "I am not ready for this". 
On saturday we went to the YMCA in Winamac and took the kids swimming.  They had fun the 2 hours we were there.

And of course you can NOT CAMP WITHOUT a S'MORE!!!  Liam shoving in the mess but enjoying every ounce of the goodness.
