Memorial Camping

Camping with the kids is one of my favorite things to do. Allison absolutely LOVES to camp and would live on a campsite if we let her. We went camping with Tony's family (as we usually do), but it was the first time Tony got to stay overnight with the kids (usually prevented by his work schedule). We had a blast! Nolan loved discovering his new surroundings and behaved so well for a curious toddling boy. They both played with their cousins - Luke, Jack, & Libby (Zach was there too, but he wasn't up for playing).

All the kids went for many walks to the park - All the adults had to take turns entertaining the kids. Allison loves to go-go-go and was always the first in the stroller or wagon as you can see.

We broke out bubbles and water guns to play with. The kids enjoyed the bubbles and the adults enjoyed the water guns :) Even Peggy was chasing Mark around the site!

Zach during an upset moment. We tried to tell him the Reds were ahead, but he thought the previous call was a bad one!

Nolan played cards with Luke in the wagon - It kept them busy for minutes!

My sister Taylor and Elwood.

We went down to the waterfall (very small, but pretty and not pictured). Allison was nervous at first because she thought we expected her to jump off and go swimming like the other kids there. Once she knew she wasn't, she enjoyed it. Elwood even ventured out...it took a little convincing from my dad the first time, but he did!

Camping sounds like it was a blast. You have such a cutie family. I love the pics of you and Tony with Allison at the waterfall. Hope to see you soon! Colleen

So cute! I love camping! We should totally plan a big camping trip in a few years when all the kiddies are old enough (although there might be some new kiddies in a few years!!)
