Memorial Weekend

We always have such a great time camping and this weekend was no exception!  The weather was absolutely beautiful and the scenery just perfect!

We camped close by home and sometimes for the first time out that works out best.  We had to make a couple trips to the house for things and until I get my Camping organizer from Brandy some things might be forgotten :)

The kids made played frisbee, went for walks, bike rides and swimming and of course we had to make smores!  Two times we created those wonderful treats.  The 2nd night Ben picked up some Reese cups and I think those are absolutely the BEST when it comes to smores!

Joel devotes his entire weekend to cooking for us all.  It is such a treat as you can just sit back and relax and he takes over the grill!  And as my nephew once quoted "Uncle Joel makes the best chicken"  

and always plenty of fruit and veggies!

and while I'm not a fan of the "BUGS" that come with camping, Zach has a way of making it even a little more ewwwwwwww!

I read one book in its entirety "Run like a mother" and started reading a couple others.  I also worked in my art journal while Joel fished, which I plan to post some pages of in the future...
