July 18-21: Camping!

This is the fifth year we've camped at Lake Wabasis with a group of friends from our church.  While they stay for 10 days, we usually limit our camping experience anywhere from 3-5 days.  The kids talk about camping all year long...they can't wait to go back next summer!  I'm already praying it won't be as HOT!!!  We were in the middle of a heat wave this year!  While we did go to the beach one day, we waited until evening to hit the beach the other days just because it was too hot!  We have kind friends who shared their inflatable pools with us so we could try to keep cool during the day.  One friend even brought a window air-conditioning unit for us to use with the pop-up camper we borrowed.  It worked great the one night we had it, but it just couldn't keep up during the day.  Honestly, it was just too hot to do anything much, yet the kids didn't seem to mind the heat a bit.  Here are a few pictures from our 4 days out there this year.   

Brielle fell asleep on the walk up from the beach.

Ty hangs out in front of the camper.  Notice the bluish tinge on the picture? 
Seth created an awning for us out of a blue tarp.  It was great for providing much-needed shade!!!

Playing in dirt!
What?!?  Girls can play in dirt too!

1 comfy chair + 1 good book = 1 perfect afternoon

Splashing in Ian's pool to keep cool!




One morning we went to a local bakery for donuts!

S'mores!  (Although none of the kids ended up eating more than 2 bites)
