Camping

We were camping this past weekend (Saturday morning - Sunday evening) with Carey's family.  I'm not a huge fan of camping (well, more accurately I'm not a huge fan of sleeping in a tent - the other stuff I don't mind), but it was a good weekend.

We played at the beach.

The kids went on a bunch of rides (the fair was in town).  We had been to this fair last year and Annika went on most of these rides, but this was a first for Emmett.

This ride was a first for them both, and the one that they chose to go on twice.

We rented a "bike" and rode around town.

We made s'mores.

We were "attacked" by fish flies (luckily they don't bite or sting - just a nuisance to have around).  This picture doesn't do them justice.  There must've been millions of them swarming around at dusk.

We had beautiful weather. 

This was our campsite.  The kids slept in the camper with Carey's parents, Carey's sister slept in the small yellow tent on the right, and Carey and I slept in the tent on the left.  It was quite cold at night, and there was lots of noise due to the fair, but it was only for one night, so I survived.  Now I don't have to sleep in a tent again for another whole year. :)

At least it's just for one night. :P

Another weekend in pictures

We just got home from our annual camping weekend with Carey's parents and his sister.  We had gorgeous weather for the weekend (really hot!!), and it was a great time of playing and relaxing.  Here are a few pictures...

Emmett was not a fan of the bike trailer at first, but once he got moving, he loved it and wanted more, more, more.

Love that smile :)

What do you do when it's hot and you don't want to head back to the beach? 
Just add water to the campsite and break out the beach toys again!

We filled up our blue bin with water and the kids had a blast.  Emmett got really wet!

Annika took this picture of me. 
The kids slept in the camper with Carey's parents and Carey and I slept in the tent in the background - this is my once-a-year tenting weekend (and I survived!).

Annika is a pro at roasting marshmallows.

Grrrrrrrrrrrreat!!

Taking two kids to the beach requires a lot of stuff!

Once again, Emmett was far more interested in playing than swimming.

Camping

Here are a few pics from our camping trip last weekend:

Saturday morning was a bit rainy, but we couldn't stay cooped up in the camper any longer!

Saturday supper - so tired from the day (and a short night) that she fell asleep, hot dog in hand.

Emmett also fell asleep, but that's nothing new.

Happy father's day!

I love his "old man with no teeth" expression.

Can't go camping without having a freezie, even if it wasn't freezie weather.

Goodbye buffaloes of Buffalo Point.
