Family Time......

This weekend we had our annual camping trip with the kids. We went to White Water State Park again this year. We had perfect weather all 4 days and had tons of fun. We had lots of beach time, hiking, biking and just relaxing. 

 The water is super cold since it is in the river but that did not stop us from enjoying it. Liam was  the first to jump in.
                              Eli and Oliver like to take is slow going in.

                                    Liam and Christa playing in the sand.
                                                  Josie just being cute!
            My favorite picture of the trip. Jese was putting lotion on Oliver and he was laughing.
              Rick took this from down by the river as we watched him bike on a very little path.
                            Christa and I after we finally made it to the top on our hike.
                                              Hiking back down.
           Rick made pancakes for us for breakfast and Cassie provided the Adult beverages
       We took the kids on a hike and Christa was our guide so we did not get lost this year!
 Almost to the top of our hike with the kids. It was only a mile but that is a long way for the short little legs of the kids. And it was up up up!
 Oliver and Eli checking out the cave. Don't worry Cassie was blocking the edge so they would not go over.
                        Uncle Nick showing the kids how to climb a tree.
             Finally made it back to the campgrounds with some tired kids.
                                                                             Pretty
 Jese and Rick went on a father son hike. They had a good time hiking for 2 hours with no kids and no women :)
                 On Saturday night we were hot so we went down the river and waded in.
                                                    Cute picture of Christa
          Nick decided wading was not good enough and jumped in the freezing cold water.
                                                            Cute picture of Cassie
                      We were waving at Amy and the kids, they were on the bridge watching us.
 We tried to make orange cake on the fire. It was a fun project but they did not turn out very good. I did not scoop out enough of the orange so the cake stayed too moist.
                       The kids had fun making it so that is all that matters. 

 On Saturday night it was a Super Moon. It was so bright that Rick was able to get some great pictures of it.




                              Oliver found some spider webs on the bridge.


                                    Uncle Nick and Oliver enjoying the fire.
                    I cannot have a blog about camping without picture of the campfire.

We love White Water State park and hope to get back there again soon. They have so many trails to hike on and a nice beach for the kids. Area to bike, Liam and Rick had a great time biking around the campgrounds. And trout fishing right in the park.  It is less then 3 hours for all of us to get there and that is a big plus.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
