Another great camping weekend!

Aside from all of the bugs that were out this weekend, it was a beautiful weekend for camping. Friday and Saturday were sunny and very warm. This weekend, there were about 20 of us camping. It seemed a bit busier for us this year as Carter wanted to do more than just sit around and play near us. There were water gun fights, bike rides, playng tag with the kids, roasting marchmallows, playing at the play structure, swimming, and late night adult visiting by the fire. A good time was had by all. We spent a lot of time at the beach on Saturday with Carter and Jaxon as there seemed to be way less bugs down by the water. Carter loved the sand and swimming (eventhough the water was a bit cool). Here are some pics of Carter playing with Mila and Kyler.

I asked Carter why he needed the noodle as he already had a life jacket and he said that it was so that when he was swimming his legs would float up and not touch the seaweed. Very clever I thought!

Swimming with Kyler. Mila is in the background with Kelly.

The biggest hit of beach was trying to get as much sand on their bodies as possible and then run in the water as fast as they can to wash it off. It entertained them forever. Kyler and Carter nicknamed eachother cinnamon buns because of all of the sand on them.

Jaxon relaxing with Roberta in the shade.

Jaxon even liked the cool water. He wasn't so sure about the waves though at first. Once he was wet, it was all good.

Deep concentration, this water is very cold.

Ah! Nice and cool in the camper. Time to unwind a bit after playing hard at the beach.

Roasting marshmallows. Always a big hit.

A brother bonding moment.

Now, we were supposed to be getting ready for bed and relaxing! That doesn't look like relaxing to me.

Carter is getting a 'penalty' from his bud, Brad the ref.
