We're going camping now, We're on our way...

...We're gonna run up a mountain and run and jump and play...a little old school Psalty anyone?

We had TWO amazing camping trips this summer and I think this may have been the easiest it is going to get for a while!!  Mason was thrilled to be outside all day and was happy as a little clam running wild in the dirt.  Cole was elated trying to follow his brother and his friends around soaking up and hoarding all the dirt and dust that the camp ground had to offer. Daddy was giddy himself due to the fact that some gracious friends lent us their pop-up tent trailer and he set up quite the little resort for our family to enjoy.  I was happy enjoying two full weekends with my boys, no interruptions...
Just our FAMILY!!

Thank you Pray family for the carpet idea...it not only was a slight dirt saver but also oddly an invisible baby wranger...they were drawn to it and played on it peacefully!
