Weekend of Camping

We went camping over the weekend and came home yesterday. We had so much fun just relaxing and playing. The kids loved playing in the creek that was in front of where we stayed. The last time we were there it was full of water. This time we could walk in it and play. They had fun catching crawdads. They put a couple in a bucket to keep for awhile. (I've included a pic of a crawdad for any city folk reading this. LOL) There are several playgrounds there and I think we played on them all. We rented a paddleboat, but only 4 could ride at a time. We decided Danny would take Chloe and Owen out and Phoebe and I would stay behind. When it came time for Owen to get on, he freaked out. So, just Danny and Chloe rode. They even saw tiny jellyfish in the water. Chloe liked spending time with Daddy. They rode bikes a lot together too. Phoebe I liked taking walks. Chloe asked if I knew how to ride a bike. ;) I usually stick back with the little ones while they ride. Owen rides his tricycle but tires out easily. He can't keep up with the big bikes.
Only two bad things happened. The first night Owen burned his hand on a hot metal hotdog stick. He held ice on it all evening and cried about it a lot. Then the next morning he said it felt fine. It still has blisters but doesn't bother him. Then on the way home Phoebe must have gotten carsick and she threw up everywhere. We had to stop and clean up that mess. So, other than those two incidents, all went well. Everyone slept well and Phoebe did perfect with her naps and was easy to get to sleep. Too bad we couldn't have stayed longer.
Here are several pictures of the weekend.
