Being a Mom is awesome! Watching our boys grow up together is even better! The fact that they LOVE being outside makes it so nice also! Ry and I love to be outside and camping is just one of many activities that we enjoy from Spring to Fall!
Memorial weekend is usually our first trip camping and this year we went to Camp Michawana again! It was a blast! There were around 10 couples camping and it was wonderful!
The weather Friday was perfect for setting up camp! We camp in a tent, yes even with 2 little boys and a dog! Saturday morning it rained off and on but it was kind of nice for a relaxing morning!
We played dodge ball, softball, volleyball and went swimming. It is nice camping in a smaller campground and not having to worry too much about Del out and about. There was usually an older child with him and his other friends or they rode their bikes around the tennis courts. Worked out perfectly until one time the three boys took off...but they were found safe riding their bikes around the circle. No worries, but we made sure they didn't do that again! That was scary!!
Abe loved everything about camping, especially the nonstop eating! He loved being in the dirt and he learned to like the showers! :) Yes, he had crocs on in the shower!
This is a side view of our tent! We love it!
Oscar trying to nap!
What's camping without playing washers?!
These two wore their bike helmets all of the time!!
He thought it would be fun to play in the empty cooler! Abe didn't like it!
This is the front of our tent. Don't mind all of the junk inside..It has a net on top that hooks to the sides that we hung our towels on and some other stuff.
Best of buds!!!
And he's off!
A few tips when camping with children:
*pack more clothes than you think you'll need
*be prepared for baths every night
*pack beach toys - there's always sand or dirt to play in
*bring pack and play for smaller ones - it's perfect for when you are busy getting meals around
Looks like you guys had a good time! xoxo Jen
