All of us are so very excited that camping season has arrived! As is tradition, we took our first trip of the year over Memorial Day weekend to John Gurney Park in Hart. It was a fabulous weekend spent with family. My pictures are rather disorganized as I was uploading from two cameras and Kristin's facebook page, so here they are in no particular order ...
The girls know that camping usually means fishing, and they had been talking about it for days before we left. Noelle tells the story best ... she didn't catch ANY fish all weekend, but on going home day, they went fishing one last time, and finally she got a fish!!! A black croppie.
Saturday was very chilly and a little drizzly so they did some fishing under the bridge, Addison caught 2 fish!
Saturday night got a little warmer so we took our first boat ride of the summer, and did more fishing of course.
Mommy took lots of walks with Emma, she's a great little walking buddy, her face says it all ... she loves stroller rides and she loved her very first camping trip
Playing Ticket to Ride with the big girls
There was not a lot of napping done during this trip, two of my girls just exhausted after a fun busy day!
Matt is great at making fire food ... he cooks hobo pies, marshmallows, hotdogs, etc. to perfection, so I always make him do mine for me. Just don't have the touch.

Guess Addison thought Emma needed a bedtime snack too
On Sunday morning after church we did some picture taking while everyone was all dressed up

Matt, Noelle, Addison, Uncle Dan and Auntie Kristin all share a love for fishing, they caught an incredible amount of fish over the course of the week, off the dock and in the boat
Emma just loved playing in the water too, I think all the fun exhausted all three of them, they all slept a ton, mommy definitely enjoyed the sleeping in!
Emma and her adoring aunties, I surely got spoiled with all the extra hands to help with the kids, it was greatly appreciated!

The girls have some adoring uncles too

Addison had been talking for weeks about how she wanted to go tubing, really fast ... we figured she was all talk, but once we got out there she loved it and was asking daddy to go faster! Noelle is not the daredevil that her sister is, she liked it but she'd rather stay dry in the boat. Such different personalities those two have!
Couldn't have been a more perfect week!
