For Memorial Day weekend, we decided to go camping with some friends from church. It was by a state park, but we camped at this farm house near the lake. It is neat to see all the old farms here in Illinois.
My favorite part...making
smores. Travis toasted my
marshmallow perfect...it oozed right off the graham cracker.
I wasn't comfortable Ellie crawling in the grass, but she didn't mind. She jumped like crazy watching all the
activities around her.
Here she is enjoying her dinner, under the shade. My girlfriend Martha has a darling picture of
marshmallow on Ellie's face. I'll have to post that later.
Here Carlie is taking a ride in the canoe with Debbie and her granddaughter, Skylar. Skylar goes to school with Carlie at First Baptist Academy. She is a 1st grader and was telling Carlie all about it.
We rode down to the state park to play on their playground. The road was very hilly and we went really fast...like a
roller coaster. The kids were laughing like crazy. Don't worry...we only drove a few miles down the road. I'm not sure what sign Jessica is doing with her hands. She didn't know either...too funny.
Carlie caught her first fish. He is really small, but she mainly just loved the action of reeling him in. This pond was awesome. The kids didn't have to be patient...two seconds later...a fish was on the line. PERFECT! They all caught one.
We were the laughing stalk of the party. Our tent was so tiny. We will definitely upgrade now that we know how much they loved it.
It was blistering HOT at first, and Ellie got super red. Of course, she had SPF 50 on. She didn't get sunburned, but boy was she having a good time. She loved it.
