BBBRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

This weekend we made our first ever family camping trip. It was cold, wet and rainy ALL weekend, but we had a great time. We liked it so much we're already planning on doing it again in a couple of weeks.

We left Thursday later afternoon and headed for Mahoney State Park. Arnie got the camper backed into our campsite on his first attempt and we were set up and grilling hotdogs before dark. It was chilli and wet most of the weekend, but the rain stopped most of the day Friday and both nights in time for campfires. We played games, did projects, went to the park and ate...and ate....and ate. Oh ya, and got pretty muddy! Grace and Reagan both seemed a little confused about what we were doing and why we weren't at home in our warm dry houses but they both settled into it just fine.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend...



Ready for bed...






Brrrrrrr......let's have some hot chocolate!!


Gracie, chill in' by the fire.


"Grandpa, GET ME DOWN!!!!"


Maggie 'helping' aunt Laura and Uncle Mark put up their tent. (pretty sure it was a colder weekend for them then the rest of us.)





Showing Gramma how good she is at her numbers.


Arnie taught Deem how to play Gin....I don't think Vadim has one a hand yet, but I bet it won't be long.








"MMMMMMmmmmmm.....Grandpa, give me more before Mom comes back with that bottle."





Saturday Grandma Westerfield and Aunt Joyce came to visit, it was too cold to have dinner outside, it's a good thing mom and dad had room for all of us. Grandma was glad to see her camper all cleaned up and in use, we sure appreciate her letting us use it.


A few glow bracelets from Papa for the fire. They provided lots of entertainment for Maggie and Uncle Vadim.



It's still raining...



Arnie's very stylish camping outfit...that's right those are workbooks, untied....it looked even funnier in person.



"Mom, I'm wet!! but I still don't want to go home."


When we got home, it was 70 degrees and sunny, which was good because there was lots of stuff we had to get out and dry off. It was a great weekend, I can't wait to do it again!
