Summer Vacation

We went camping this year and I was a little nervous about it. Camping. In July. With small children. Despite my valid concerns we had a fantastic time! The weather was beautiful, the park was beautiful and the kids did great! We went swimming a lot, general lazing around, bowling, and an Extremely Miniscule amount of hiking. It was the one thing the kids couldn't handle for some reason. I think we hiked something like 0.17 mile. Sad, I know. Hopefully that will improve. Lillie also made friends with a big group having a family reunion across the way from us so her and Samuel had fun playing with all their kiddos. The one sad event...I killed a frog. And we were on a frog habitat! I felt terrible. I even shed a few tears. It was late at night and I was walking to the bathrooms when I saw a frog jump right next to me. Unfortunately it jumped right where my foot was about to land. I tried to miss it but it was all very quick. Needless to say it was the worst sound I've ever heard. It was like a sueak the a toy frog would make. Very quiet, yet ear peircing. It made a couple of hops away and I was holding out hope but we later discovered that it didn't even make it out of our campsite. I'm so sorry frog! Okay, I can't end on a sad note, so I'll just say again, it was a fantastic vacation!


Ahh, throwing rocks in the lake. It never gets old.

Tim made a pancake for the new baby. Awwww!



Samuel in time-out. Some might say cruel but even on vacation the law must be laid down! Plus it was kinda cute!




Our fantastic chef. Tim cooked every meal we ate at the site and it was delicious!
