Camping, swim lessons and more...

Our first camping trip of the year! We bought my parents trailer from them, and it made for a much more comfortable camping experience! We love it.We found a really nice campground about an hour and a half away. The best part was that there are hardly any mosquitos, and it was not too hot.
The bug man got to work right away. ha.ha
For some reason, hot dogs taste even better while camping
The kids love to bring their bikes



Our campsite was right next to a creek
we also had some friends join us, and the girls love their dogs. I also loved having the dogs around when it got really dark. I felt like they would warn us if some crazy animal was lurking around the campground. ha.ha
Kyle and I love how we don't have any distractions while in the woods. We are able to spend all of our time with our kids and not have to worry about anything else!
and the kids absolutely love camping!!!
There was a trail right in the campgroud, so we went on a hike before we left
The kids were fascinated by this cool tree that has bark that looks like puzzle pieces. I forgot the type of tree it was, but the bark also smells sweet when it gets hot. Cool stuff!
My grandma came up to visit for a couple of weeks. The kids loved spending time with her. She read them some stories and they liked to sit and listen to them. We went to my parents for dinner one night, and my mom let them help make this fruit pizza. It was delicious!!
Kylie and Carson took swim lessons again this summer. They learned SO much this year. They can now swim without floaties. I am so proud of them. Kylie can even do a dolphin style swim.
For their last day of lessons they got to just play the entire time.

And they passed!!
hmmm........what do we have today??
pretty funny, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make it work!
