More Camping Adventures

Since I've been a bit of a blog slacker I'm going to kill two birds with one stone and post some pics from our last two camping adventures in one post. A week back we headed to Wabasis Lake Campground with 6 other families and a total of 17 kids. We had a great week.
Some of the girls playing mom and taking Tyler for a walk.
Kennedy and Lexi ready for a bike ride.
We spent every day beaching it.
The daddy's didn't come out until Sat. so this was the one day we spent beachin' it with them. Us mom's enjoyed the break.


Kennedy and her friend Taylor all covered in sand.


Kooper was a water rat the week we were at Wabasis.
He wanted daddy to throw him ~ which was a first~ and had a blast doing it over and over again.



Beach babes..










Fun with some edible crafts..
Miley, the cutest little puppy, got lots of attention all week.

We did some tie-dye shirts one morning and had to take a pic of all the kiddos once the shirts were ready to be worn. This is the pic of our crew minus two kids.
Kennedy and Chloe
There was one spot of dirt on our site that they boys spent lots of time playing in.

Prior to our week at Wabasis we camped at Oak Grove with three other families and also had a wonderful week.
Kennedy and Garrett
It did rain on and off so the kids had a blast biking and running through the puddles.




A little fire time and some s'mores..


We also spent lots of time at the pool...
Jenna, Kennedy and Emma hamming it up before jumping in.









Our fam at the State Park..
The whole gang minus Jason..
Great times and great memories were had during both of our last camping adventures.

Summer Fun

Spending a gorgeous summer day with friend's at the Conference Grounds..
Kenz hanging out waiting to head to the beach.
Building some sand sculpture's with Mallory and Emma.
Little surfer boy!

Our little tractor lover..

Me and my chillies..
Very thankful to some sweet young teen that helped me tote Kolter from our spot on the beach to the steps. I take the boardwalk at the State Park for granted, that's for sure. It was great to know there are good kid's out there willing to help a mommy who clearly couldn't do it all.
Mech and I with all the kiddos..
What a fun day we had at the CRCG. We camped there when Kennedy and Kooper were little and haven't been back since. I do think we'll be camping there next summer. Such a wonderful place to stay/visit with young children.

Fountain Fun

Since I'm no longer working, I must say, my kiddos have had one fun summer. It's rare that we're home all day long. Usually we're either pool or beach bound due to the awesome summer weather we've had this year. Today I thought we'd change it up a bit and visit the fountains downtown Holland. The kids hadn't been there before so I thought something new might be kind of fun and boy was I right. My mom ventured downtown with me so the kiddos were also spoiled with goodies from the Peanut Store and Sandcastle. Gotta love grandma's. The fountains were the perfect way to end our morning of shopping fun.
I think they spent the majority of time in the fountain pool..
A little brother/sisterly love being shown here.. I wish I could say they were about to hug..

Getting a big ole spray right in the face..
Kolter enjoyed the fountain pool but also REALLY enjoyed the fountains..

Swimming like a fish!
Kooper getting a big spray in the face..


It was a fun morning and a must do whenever you venture downtown. The best part is that it's free so when you head down there just remember to throw suits and towels in your bag and you'll be good to go.
