Camping-Round 1

The girls were here for most of the week, and Pop decided this was the perfect time to introduce them to camping.  I learned quite a few things this week.  First of all, I am not as young as I use to be, and second I wouldn't trade the memories we made for anything.  Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate this week.  We actually came home the night of the first storm, but "roughed" it out the second storm!

We enjoyed lots of walks, rides, and fun times.  Maddie was thrilled with the top bunk, although as usual she ended up sleeping in between us.  Lillian got to experience her first vienna sausage with Pop. (She was not impressed.)  Papa visited everynight and the girls loved that.

Pop wisely parked us next to the playground on the opposite side of the river.  Lillian wasn't ready to be near the drop off to the river. Or maybe, Nana wasn't ready for her to be near it. The girls spent lots of time at the playground, and loved every second of it!

If Maddie can do it, Lillian thinks she can too! She mastered the big slide and swings in no time at all.

Love, love, love these sweet girls!

Just a swinging!  I also love how they love each other-most of the time!!

Camping is not all play!  Lots of work is involved!  The girls helped Pop gather wood for the fire!  There were marshmellows to roast, and it was pretty cold the first night!

Lillian loves to help! She kept the campground nice and clean! Maddie made a beautiful sand castle, also! 

We ended the first day watching a barge go by.  Both girls became experts at getting them to blow their horns!

Be patient with me!  I have lots more camping adventures to share.  New friends and lots more memories were made!
