I’m a little slow on getting these up there, but my mom made the kids these cute blankets! 

Stevie wanted to give them kisses while I was laying them out, incase you are wondering what she’s doing!

Here’s a few of camping with aunt Theresa, Shaun, aunt Karen, Brent, & some friends:

We had a great time camping with them - the kids just loved being able to wander around the campsite and play at the campground/beach.  It was really nice to have other people around to help out too!

Just wanted to share a few of the photos that we have.  I love being able to watch the kids try new things, and so far I love camping with them too!  We’re heading out soon for a full week in July, so we’re hoping for some decent weather!  We just bought our family size tent and stove since our two-person style camping was not going to work for all of us ;)
