Well...we did it! We took a leap and went camping! And I'm relieved to tell you it was lots of fun! Don't get me wrong...I still think camping is a ton of work but the kids had a ball! Ava kept asking if we could stay another night but one night was a good start:)
We went to a nearby state park only 30 minutes away. We found a great spot to pitch our tent...which by the way seemed so much bigger when it was just Matt and I camping:) Yeah..it says it's a 4 man tent but these 2 little ones take up space! We went to a small beach off the lake to play for part of the afternoon. Not the cleanest looking beach but the kids loved playing in the shallow water and in the sand! The pic below is after playing on the beach we realized how full of sand they were...like in every crack and crevice...we rode directly to the shower to wash off. Instead of putting their sandy suits and shoes back on we stuck them back in the bike trailer just wrapped in their towels. They thought that it was so funny! We did smores of course and they slept great!
The other second first for the summer was bowling! We found out kids can bowl free for the summer so we took advantage. Matt and I bowled too which was fun to do together. I wasn't sure if the kids would even be able to pick up the ball but they had a 6lb. ball and they did great. Well...it did take a few minutes for the ball to roll slooooowwwly down the lane:) But, glad to report none got stuck!
Lots of fun memories!!
