Fun Camping Weekend

Carolina enjoys her first camping bath . . . in a dishpan! Last weekend we went camping with my parents at Defeated Creek. They have an Airstream (those silver bullet looking RVs) and earlier this summer we bought a used pop-up camper. I grew up camping all the time and those are some of my favorite childhood memories! We decided that we wanted to start making family camping memories ourselves. Do you think Carolina will remember her first camping experience at ten weeks old? HA! Enjoy the pics - we had fun and survived the mid 90's weather!
Chad reads Lawton his night-time stories while Carolina is snug as a bug in a rug. Is it weird that I still swaddle her? She still seems to like it!

Getting a little swing time in the hammock swing! Relaxing with Noni in front of the fan!
She is really sacked out!

Carolina was not a fan of the cold pool water. . . notice her screaming and lifting up her feet!
On the other hand . . . Lawton loved staying cool in the pool!
My boys having a little down time in the heat.
Sitting around the campfire only so we could roast marshmallows. No telling how many Lawton managed to sneak and stuff in such a short amount of time!
Here's just one of the marshmallows he inhaled!


Dandy and Carolina get in a little early morning swing!

Lawton enjoys playing Candyland with Noni in the shade . . . Lawton worked very hard at throwing all the driftwood that had washed up back into the lake. What a job!

Carolina absolutely loves her seat. These animals are who receive the majority of her smiles. She squeals in delight at them!
