Let the Camping Begin

We headed to Cadillac last week for a long weekend of camping. This was our first camping trip of the summer and the girl's couldn't wait. We went with three other couples from church so we had a total of 11 kids under 8 and 8 adults. Call us crazy, but we love it. All the kids get along so well and the only arguments were with their siblings. The kids did a lot of fun things this year that included riding bike, playground, fishing, nature center, bow shooting, tubing, swimming, fires, and so much more. The weather was crappy Wednesday and Thursday but was great the rest of the week. We can't wait to do it again next year!

For the first time Brooke went tubing without an adult :( She's growing up way to fast.Ashley enjoying her ice cream cone. She was covered with ice cream from head to toe.

Swimming Lessons

The girls took swimming lessons for the last two weeks. They really enjoyed swimming and never wanted to leave. Brooke did an awesome job this year, swimming on her own and jumping off the diving board. Kenzie did a good job too. I think it was more of a social time for her. By the end of the two weeks everyone knew we had kittens and that she was going camping :)
