Memorial Day Weekend camping

We went camping for Memorial Day weekend, five days, four nights of no house work, honey do's, work, stress....nothing but spending time with my kids and hubby. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. Kya and I had so much fun laughing this weekend. Poor girl has been put off lately. We had so much fun with family too. I love campfire food, conversations and of course relaxation. We had a couple evenings of rain and thunderstorms, but we survived.
Spending some quality time with little Z while he naps.

He's a true camper...he loved being outdoors. He was very observant of the trees, water in the creek and all the "new" things around him.

Taking a walk


Kya was having a blast fishing, and throwing rocks in the creek. One time I ask her to do something and she said, "um, well, I'm fishing". Grandma W made her a little fishing pole from a stick and she caught at least 5 fish on that thing....the first day.

Daddy's little girl.

Carl was great....he washed my hair for me. We were out there for five days, so I had to clean up sometime....true camping experience.


Kya needed to wipe "Maxi Dog's" nose. She spent more time with the dog than anyone else. She would just stand next to him and kept hugging him and saying, "he's hungry", trying to feed him rocks, grass, leaves, anything she could find.

Oh so fun! I heard a little about your trip from Mom, but I loved seeing all the pictures. I LOVE that picture of you and Zander. So cute. Makes me ready to have my little man here.
Glad you had a great time! Your kids are definitely following in their father's footsteps! :)

What a fun camping trip! I'm so impressed that you do it with Z so young, but it sounds like it was a blast for everyone. :)

Looks like lots of fun. I can't believe how big your baby is getting. Time goes by way too fast. Kya is also growing into such a big girl. Take care.

The pictures are great. We had so much fun camping with everyone. We are really excited that everyone is actually learning to cook over the fire so dad and i don't have to do all of it. They are really good cooks too. Paula the rice turned out great that will be something we will do again. Tahnks to everyone who came and had fun with us.
