4th of July Fun!

Over the 4th of July we went camping with Jeron's family. We had a blast and plan on doing it every year now! Camping was how we went on vacations when I was a kid and so I love it! I love going with my kids and am so excited to get to share these fun time with them and all our family!
We found this wonderful group spot that had plenty of room for all of us! I can't tell you where is was. We swore not to tell so that it doesn't get busy and stolen from us!
Connor quickly found a tree and did some climbing. The only problem was that he had a green shirt on! He kept calling to me and wanted me to take a picture.

It took me a minute to find him to be able to take the picture!





See if you can find him!



Oh, there he is!




Maycie had been having some problems with her helmet right before we went. She was getting a couple of red heat rash spots on the sides of her head. I wouldn't have worried too much but that is how the problem with the back of her head started. So I thought we would just leave the helmet off during the day. Then I remembered that we couldn't leave the helmet in the car which also means we couldn't leave it in the tent. So we decided to leave it home! Fun times! We got a whole weekend (well half of Friday and most of Saturday!) without the helmet! The only problem with that is that it made me that much more ready to be done!


She had tons of fun trying on daddy's hat, frontwards...




and backwards!
She thought the sunglasses were a nice touch too!




Emma had some issues with her hair. Aunt Alicia did her hair while mommy and daddy made breakfast (it was the meal we were in charge of)! She then got her hair caught in a zipper of a tent. So mommy did her hair. Then she got her hair caught in a tent zipper again!






This is zipper hair number three! I think we got a count up to about 4 or 5! The first time she screamed and screamed! The second time she only cried "a little bit" (and when she tells you this she holds up two fingers just a little apart!). After that she would calmly stand there and wait until someone noticed and helped her out! So we call this the zipper do!




Connor and Zac doing bunny ears!





The grand kids! All 21 of them! Not all of them happy but all of them none the less! It isn't very often that we actually have all of them in one place! It was so much fun and we are very excited to make this new family tradition! We had the whole family there except Melissa and it just wasn't the same without her! Make sure to plan for next year 'cause we missed you Aunt Missa!

Are you sure you won't share? Brian wants to go camping sometime next month...we aren't sure where to go since we don't do much camping.

Cute Connor in the tree. I love that kid. Looks like you had a good time. Emma is halarious. Kylie would have still been screaming by the 5th time.
