Memorial Day Weekend

We've officially started our summer camping season! We went big for 2016's maiden voyage…a small group of 22 of us descended upon Yogi Bear. It was a blast!! The kids have never been so entertained and the adults have never been so tired!! Thank goodness for bedtime :-)

The kids fished...

Kade's very first fish ever…a tiny bullhead that fell off the hook.

I'm pretty sure the dads took at least 100 fish off of hooks over the course of the entire weekend.

I got smart the 2nd day and made Kade wear glasses.

Way too many wild hooks flying through the air. And I really like his big blue eyes so I wanted him to keep both of them.

The kids (I mean Mason) sat on tractors...

He wasn't happy when he had to share the seat.

I think Mason sat on these tractors for, I don't know, 48 hours total?

And if we wasn't sitting on the tractor, he was sitting on the train!

Here he is with his buddies Nyle and Charlotte

They are all saying "Choo Choo"!

We rode pedal cars...

The kids mini golfed...

We had a dance party with Yogi and Boo Boo..

We went on wagon rides...

Mason wasn't a fan of the giant bears. He got on the wagon, then the bears got on the wagon and Mason promptly left the wagon in tears.

We had campfires and smores...

The passed out at night and took some pretty amazing naps...

The kids did end up in the camper for a little bit while it rained,

no worries, we had movies and toys to entertain.

"Roughing it" is not my idea of a good time while camping :-)

And, most importantly, the kids had a blast playing with all of their friends...

Harper and Mason

The "big" boys!

These boys are the reason this camping trip happened! They formed a friendship at preschool this year, so the moms formed a friendship during playdates and the dads formed a friendship by default :-)
